If i remember correctly, which is a big IF, there is something about walking 
stitches, specifically, that they just don't want to seq.  When I took the Adv. 
Digitizing at Melco in So. Calif years ago, we were given a graphic to manually 
digitize.  This design had lots of black outlines, with all kinds of little 
legs and offshoots.  The instructor made us follow her every instruction, a 
little outline at a time.  By the time we got finished, the complicated outline 
ran continuously without trims.  This was a BIG eyeopener for me.  It was a 
combination of regular run stitches and triple bean. Say you were going to just 
make an E out of one row of outline.  Starting at the top right do a bean 
stitch over and down until you come to the center leg of the E.  Do a walk out 
to the end and back.  Then continue with a bean.  This gives a bean outline all 
around.   And although you have 3 parts, it runs continuously as one part 
without trims or ties.  Of course, a tie at the beginning 
 and end of the E.  

The auto sequencing in DS is very good, BUT not perfect.  And you know what 
they say about auto digitizing - nothing is better than manually digitizing!  
And here you have the perfect example.
