Topic:Understanding Density
Content:
Density is the distance between individual stitches in a satin column or rows of stitches in a fill. The closer the rows are to each other, the denser an area of stitches is. Densities only apply to satin and fill stitch objects and underlay. With satin stitches, the narrower columns have less density than wider ones. Sample densities for underlay may be between 2 and 4 mm. Running stitches do not have density.There are two primary ways that embroidery and digitizing systems measure density. One measures the actual space between rows (technically, between alternating rows, not each row) and the second is by counting the stitches per inch (SPI). Most embroidery software uses one of these systems. The first system may measure in metric or inches. Due to the small distances, metric is much easier to work with and may offer increments in millimeters or points, which are a tenth of a millimeter.Because we are measuring space between stitches, the smaller the number the more dense the stitch
