Chenille
Freeform - Recipes - Chenille |
|
Chenille recipe is a specialized fill method for Chenille specific machines. This fill method is not used in normal embroidery.
The Chenille recipe for Freeform shape will fill with either a lattice or a spiral Stitch type.
Embroidery Settings Chenille
Moss Outline
Internal Connection Policy
Chenille Lattice
Step Length:
The length of the individual stitches in the lattice grid.
Step to Satin Limit:
The minimum distance before the system will start breaking stitches into the Step Length.
Min Border Satin:
The shortest stitch allowed before the edge of the fill area
Corner Edges:
Corner Edges ensures that the system does not generate any return stitches at very high angles. Chenille machines as a rule have trouble reversing direction (180 degrees) Notice in the image at the right, The outline is defined with a very sharp point. The Lattice Fill is generated in a such a way that the area is filled without having to produce these types of movements which could be difficult for the machine.
Chenille Spiral
Distance of circles:
The distance between concentric circles in the fill area, This setting is similar to density, in that the lower the setting the more overlap between circles there will be. Normally set to equal the radius setting.
Step Length:
The length of the individual stitches in the lattice grid.
Step to Satin Limit:
The minimum distance before the system will start breaking stitches into the Step Length.
Min Border Satin:
The shortest stitch allowed before the edge of the fill area
Stitch Length:
The length of the individual stitches in the spiral.
Circle Radius:
The size of the spiral elements.
Stitch Direction:
Controls how the circles are generated, settings are Clockwise and AntiClockwise
Embroidery Settings
Density The function of the density setting for Chenille varies depending on the stitch type
Lattice:
The Density setting for Lattice fill is the measurement between every other row of lattice.
Spiral:
The Density setting for spiral stitching is the measurement between rows of spiral stitching. The image at the right is using a very large density setting to illustrate the setting. A setting this high would not produce desirable results.
Stitch Angle 1st Pass
This controls the angle of the stitching inside of the fill area. For Lattice stitching this setting determines the first layer of stitching. For Spiral stitching, it determines the stitch angle of all the spiral stitches as there is no second pass of spiral stitching
Stitch Angle 2nd Pass
This setting determines the angle of the stitching of the second layer of Lattice fill stitching, It has not effect on Spiral stitching.
Tie File
Allows selection of the type of tie stitch to be used when a tie is generated
Offset for Multiple Chains
Defines the distance between multiple outlines of Chain stitch. This setting will affect any Chain stitches whether they are stitched before or after the fill area. Range is 0-30.
Offset for multiple moss
Defines the distance between multiple outlines of Moss stitch. This setting will affect any Moss stitches whether they are stitched before or after the fill area. Range is 0-30.
Offset for Chan Moss
Defines the distance between the Chain and Moss stitch outlines.
Chain Outlines are used to define areas for filling, lock in areas and also used to create multi-colored lettering. It is very common for a Chenille letter to be outlines with 2 chain stitches in one color then filled with a moss stitch of a different color.
Chain Before
This setting will indicate to the system that you want it to insert a row or rows of Chain stitches before it fills the outline you define. This Chain stitch will be placed on the defined outline, the looped stitching will be placed inside of this Chain by the specified distance.
The system can generate multiple rows of Chain stitching based upon the Chain Before Number setting
Chain After
This setting will indicate to the system that you want it to insert a row or rows of Chain stitches after it fills the outline you define. This Chain stitch will be placed on the defined outline or inside the Chain before (if specified) by the distance set in the General Parameters. The looped stitching will be placed inside of this Chain by the specified distance.
The system can generate multiple rows of Chain stitching based upon the Chain After Number setting
Chain Stop
This setting places a Stop code between any Chain and Moss stitching of a block. This is most commonly used to create a multi-color object.
Chain Before Number
Defines the number of rows of Chain stitches to generate before the fill area when the Chain Before option is set. This control can produce up to 5 rows of chain before the loop stitching, although, using more than 2 is uncommon.
Chain After Number
Defines the number of rows of Chain stitches to generate after the fill area when the Chain After option is set. This control can produce up to 5 rows of chain after the loop stitching, although, using more than 2 rows of chain either before or after is uncommon.
Chain Step Length
Similar to Running Stitch, this parameter defines the length of the individual stitches in the Chain Outline.
Moss Outlines is a looping running stitch line that is used to define areas to be filled. When utilizing Lattice or Spiral fill, the edges of the fill area can look blocked as each row is overlapped. By outlining the block with one or 2 rows of Moss stitching, these areas are smoothed out giving a much cleaner appearance.
Moss Before
This setting will indicate to the system that you want it to insert a row or rows of Moss stitches before it fills the outline you define. This Moss stitch will be placed on the outside of the fill area, but inside of any Chain stitches you may have designated the distance between the fill and this line is specified in the General Parameters.
Moss After
This setting will indicate to the system that you want it to insert a row or rows of Moss stitches after it fills the outline you define. This Moss stitch will be placed on the outside of the fill area, but inside of any Chain stitches you may have designated the distance between the fill and this line is specified in the General Parameters.
Moss Before Number
Defines the number of rows of Moss stitches to generate before the fill area when the Moss Before option is set. This control can produce up to 5 rows of moss before the fill area, although, using more than 1 or 2 is uncommon.
Moss After Number
Defines the number of rows of Moss stitches to generate after the fill area when the Moss After option is set. This control can produce up to 5 rows of chain after the loop stitching, although, using more than 1 or 2 rows of Moss either before or after is uncommon.
Moss Step Length
Similar to Running Stitch, this parameter defines the length of the individual stitches in the Moss Outline.
The Internal Connection Policy is used to define how the internal sections of Chain and Moss outline are connected to the fill area.
This control has individual settings for each layer to connect with a Jump, Chain or Moss. If Chain or Moss is selected, the step length will become active for that connection and is user defined.
Changing any of these settings from the defaults is rare
The bottom section of this control is used to define at which points in the block the system should insert a trim code. As most Chenille blocks are contained within a single outline, a trim an any of these blocks would be rare
