The Stitch Analysis tool is accessible via Main Menu > Gadgets while in selection or transformation mode.
This tool provides detailed insights into design characteristics that are critical for achieving high-quality embroidery results.
Use this feature to verify design integrity, such as identifying excessively long stitches across the entire design or within specifically selected objects.
The stitch length histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of stitch lengths. The height of each bar indicates the quantity of stitches that fall within specific length ranges.
Histogram of stitch lengths.
The blue curve (A) represents the histogram of a theoretical ideal design, where all stitches are close to the optimal length of approximately 4 millimeters (1/6 inch). While not achievable in practice, it serves as a baseline for comparison.
The actual histogram of the design (B) utilizes a color scale: red indicates stitches that are too short or too long, yellow indicates transitional lengths, and green represents optimal stitch lengths. This allows for a direct comparison between your design and the ideal model. For instance, the example above shows a high frequency of short stitches in the red zone, which may lead to issues during the sew-out process.
The histogram tracks stitches up to a length of 18 millimeters (3/4 inch). Stitches exceeding this length are automatically converted into jumps (floating stitches).
In addition to the graphical histogram, the following numerical data provides essential technical information about the design:
