This type of a corner should be either capped or mitered. Right click on the satin stitch border in the project tree you are needing to work on. Then select Properties and then select the Corners tab. This will allow you to select whichever type of corner you want, Capped or mitered. Play with this tool and you will quickly see what the benifit is and what it can do for you. Your issue with the long stitches in the sharp points of the satin stitch columns will be gone..... The short stitch tool primarily sorks in the "inside" of the corners, the "corners" tool primarily works on the "outside" of the corner and either caps or miters it.....neat tool!!!
