Satin columns are versatile objects, and this property page allows
you to use the column in a few styles. “Normal” satin stitches are what you
almost always think of with satins; they go left-to-right and back again, making
a smooth, narrow, continuous stitch. But you also have the option for Contour
and Fringe stitching styles available.
Pass Count
3 and 5 pass whip stitches are available to create more
texture. The thread does build up, but the program opens the density very
slightly to allow for it. The use case for this is to provide a more vintage, or
even simulating a handmade element in the embroidery.
