Walk Stitch

Walk stitches are the equivalent to running stitches in EDS III and are typically generated in making underlay and outline stitching. Walk stitches are the simplest stitches to make when digitizing. They can be generated in two methods, straight lines or automatic curves. For example, If you are digitizing the outline of a square select walk stitch, then left click at the first corner of the square. Now, go to the second corner and left click, the third corner and left click, the forth corner and left click, back to the first corner and left click. It doesn't matter how big the square is when you are using walk stitch; needle penetrations will be inserted every 30 points along the way. The default setting is 30 points and can be changed under walk stitch properties. This is located as a toolbar button, in the Insert Menu and also by right clicking in the View Window.

If a point is entered incorrectly, pressing the Backspace key will remove the input points in reverse order.
