Checking the ‘Contour’ button on a Satin Column will arrange the stitches to run opposite to the inclinations, rather than parallel to them. The density is maintained throughout the column, even if the column widens and narrows, as the program will automatically adjust the number of rows as the width changes. Contour 2 will provide more of a ‘fill’ effect as areas widen and narrow, whereas Contour will have varied density across the shape as it widens.
