Changing Run Line stitch type
You change the Run Line stitch type in the Object
Details dialog. You can choose run or triple run.
Run Line places a single row of run stitches along
a digitized line. Triple run repeats each stitch three
times for a thicker line. See also Creating motif
runs .
To set Run Line stitch type
1 Double-click the Run Line object.
The Object Details > Line Stitch dialog opens.
2 Select Single Run Line stitch type.
3 Click OK .
Setting Run Line stitch length
For Run Line stitches, set the stitch length to suit
the digitized shape. Where the object has tight
curves, select a shorter stitch length. To reduce the
stitch count for flatter curves, increase the stitch
length.
Note These values only apply to objects created
with the Run Line digitizing methods. They do not
affect travel runs, or underlay stitching .
To set Run Line stitch length
1 Select and double-click the Run Line object.
2 The Object Details > Line Stitch dialog opens.
3 Enter a stitch length in the Stitch Length field.
If a line has tight, sharp curves, reduce the length, for
example to 1.8mm, so that the stitches follow the line.
