Zig-Zag parameters for existing punching objects: |
| |
 |
| |
With zig-zag stitch type you can add a punching object of zig-zag stitches. In this case, a smooth curve connects the nodes that you are adding. The most important thing in using zig- zag is that you have to add the node points in pairs. The program automatically adds the direction of stitches which connect a pair of nodes. The direction of the stitches can be edited independently of the node placements. |
| |
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
- Half pitch compensation.
- If corners should be made where needed.
- The Variable pitch

|
Density: |
| |
In this parameter you can specify the density of the zig-zag stitches that you are adding. |
| |
|
|
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. |
| |
|
| |
Half pitch compensation: |
| |
In case that this logical parameter is set as Yes the program will start placing the stitches after a half of thread thickness. |
| |
|
|
Corners: |
| |
In this logical parameter you can activate or disable the corners on the current object. The corners are needed in case that there is steep change of the direction of satin and there are curve break nodes on the outlines. The corners that would be made depends on the shape of the outlines |
| |
|
|
Variable pitch: |
| |
The program will balance the density sensitivity when an object narrows in size according to the percentage you have set in this field. |
