Stitch analysis provides insight into characteristics that are crucial for the quality of a design.
With this tool, you can quickly check if there are excessively long stitches in the entire design or in individually selected objects, for example.
A length histogram is a graphical display of stitch lengths using bars of different heights. The height of each bar shows how many stitches fall within each length range.
Histogram of stitch lengths.
The blue curve (A) represents a histogram of an ideal design, which would contain only stitches with a length close to the optimum length (approximately 4 millimeters, i.e., 1/6 of an inch). This is not achievable in the real world; it serves as a reference.
The actual histogram of the real design (B) is colored from red (too short or too long stitches) through yellow to green (optimum-length stitches). The histogram allows you to compare your design to the ideal one. The histogram in the example above reveals that we have many short stitches (red color) in the design, which may be critical to the actual sew-out of the design.
The histogram shows stitches with a length of up to 18 millimeters (3/4 inch). Longer stitches are converted to jumps (floating stitches).
Besides the graphical histogram, there are also other important data available through stitch analysis in numerical form:
