under layer support stitch #102

Open stephanschulz opened 3 years ago

stephanschulz commented 3 years ago

I am noticing that some commercial embroidery designs fill lay down a support stitch, probably to prevent the fabric from bunching up.

For example, in this image you can see that the outside satin circle of the basketball first gets 3 single stitched circles and then a zigzag before it starts laying down the satin stitch.

I will do some tests to compare the quality of a PEmbroider Satin circle and add via code some extra circles underneath.

This is super-interesting. We're winding up development on PEmbroider and we don't have the resources to do a lot of testing for features like this. I suspect that the design of such underlying stitches will need to be a sort of "secret art" that individual designers do to create better results with PEmbroider, rather than a feature built into the system. That said, we may be able to still add a simple demo example showing the results of including (or not including) an under-skeleton for satin stitches. (@tatyanade ?)
