Step parameters
for existing punching objects: |
| |
 |
| |
With Step stitch type you can add a punching
object of step stitches. I order to create a step stitch object you
have to specify first the direction of the stitches and after this
the outline which will be field by the step stitches. |
| |
The parameters that you can change in
this type of punching are: |
| |
- The density
- The type of the underlays
- If there would be fix and lock stitches at the start/end of
the objects.
- The percentages of the compensation
- The length of the stitches
|
| |
|
| |
Density: |
|
With this parameter you can specify the
distance between the lines of stitches of step. The number of this
field shows the distance between one line of stitches and the line
after its next, as you can see on the following draw. |

Underlays: |
| |
In this parameter you can select the underlay
you want to use. To select or change the underlay you have to click
on this field and select one of the following types: |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Fix & Lock stitches: |
| |
With this parameter you can specify whether
the program will lock the stitches at the start or end of the selected
objects. The lock stitches are small stitches that keep the thread
from unraveling off the fabric. If you want to change this option
you can select one of the available options: |
| |
- None: In this case there will be no lock stitches
at the start or end of the selected objects.
- Fix: In this case the lock stitches will be
placed at the beginning of the selected objects.
- Lock: In this case these stitches will be
placed at the end of the selected objects.
- Fix & Lock: In this case these stitches
will be placed at both the beginning and the end of the selected
objects.

|
|
Compensation: |
| |
The compensation parameter has to do with
the tendency of a punching object to shrink in itself in the stitching
direction. This means that sometimes you have to adjust your digitized
design from its original position. With the compensation you can
specify the percentage of the movement of the stitches, in order
to cover its shrink in. |
| |
|
|
Length: |
| |
With this parameter you can specify the
length of every stitch of the step. |
