Adjusting width of running stitch Stitch Era Universal

Hey , you can't adjust the width of stich unless it was a backstich I didn't find the backstich nor the tripple stich in SEU , but you can repeat the path by adjusting the settings of path by increasing the repetition to 2 or 3 it would be kind of similiar to the tripple stich .

You can't make a running stitch wider (unless you use thicker thread). I think you have seen a backstitch outline, where the running stitch is sent back (and slightly offset) about half the length of the previous stitch. On my software I can use either a 3 or a 5 stitch backstitch, and change the offset value to make it slightly thicker.

If you run/redraw the purchased PES file on your software can you slow it right down to see how the stitching is done on those outlines?

Another way an outline stitch can be boldened up is running multiple passes. That is very common in stock designs.

Some emb. software call it a bean stitch. Bean Stitch: Three stitches placed back and forth between two points. Often used for outlining because it provides a bolder stitch appearance than a run stitch and requires fewer stitches than a satin stitch. The bean is sometimes referred to as the ‘bean walking’ because it is used as an outline.
Check your software for the term bean stitch.

You can do 3 running stitches on it. If that doesn't help then you are wanting a wider outline. So go for the skinny satin stitch instead but do it with less density so that way you'll have a cleaner outline. Hopefully this help.

I could not quite understand your problem. But I can ask my digitizers to find out the problem for you. Please send your design to my email: digitize_cn@yahoo.com I will ask my digitizer to edit it for you. No worry, just free!

Wish I could help you!

I find people tend to look down on my software because it was developed for the home embroidery market - not the industrial market. I am using the Artista Designer6 Bernina software, and I use it for a domestic Bernina embroidery machine and ALSO for a 12 needle SWF compact. I am VERY happy with it, and it has a LOT of functions that surprise the "higher grade" software users.

I have never used any of the other software packages, so I can't help with your SEU. Maybe there is someone out there who still has the answer for you.

In the end if your software does not have the bean stitch function do a triple run manually on your own. It will beef up the outline stitch.
If you have any questions you can always email me your questions and I will walk you through it.
