Satin
Satin stitches are stitches that travel from one edge of the object to the opposite edge of the object in one step. A normal satin uses one straight stitch and one angled stitch. The maximum effective distance for a satin stitches is about 6 mm for general embroidery. Satin stitches longer than this tend to pull out and unravel. Therefore, satin stitch type is not normally used for Freeform shapes with Normal fill.

Long Satin:

|
|
The Long Satin control will split every other stitch greater than the specified length on opposite sides of the column to allow satin stitches to be sewn at lengths that would normally require step. The breaking of the stitch on opposite sides allows the stitching to "weave" into the longer stitching thereby retaining the appearance of a normal satin.
If you have a block of stitches that the width varies widely, the majority of the block can sew in satin stitches, but there are a few segments that exceed what is acceptable enable Long Satin to control these areas.
