Barbara,
Did anyone answer your question about changing from satin to fill. I need to
know the same thing. I need to do the Brody font in1.75" letters. was
wondering if i just change it will it work or sew satin and then sew fill?
Don't need any hang ups this close to Christmas!

Subject: [amayausers] converting sating stitches to fill stitches
Hi All!
I was wondering if someone could give me some info. on the following. I have
a customer who needs to have some jackets done. (not nylon this time!) She
wants text only on the back of the jacket done in a "western style". The
larger letters are approx. an inch and a half tall. I just used one of the
fonts that comes with design shop (not a true type font) I noticed that the
stitch count more than doubled when I changed from satin to fill.
The person that I use for digitizing looked at it and said that the larger
letters have to be digitized. (and they are only 1 1/2" tall) He said that the
fonts that are digitized as satin stitches will still follow that same pattern
as a satin stitch when converted to fill causing the lettering to "bunch up" on
the fabric when sewing out and it would cause endless thread breaks while
sewing. (though I have changed satin to fill before for directors chair backs
to 2" and it sewed out great, just with a bazillion stitches)
Is this really the case? I was wondering if maybe I am just converting the
satin to fill stitches incorrectly? I would just enter the font and then go
into fill and change it from satin to fill. Is there a way to change and not
have such a high stitch count? I certainly can understand an increase in
stitches, but for it to more than double?
