Pro+ will allow you to create a splice in a fill so that different parts of the fill can have different stitch directions. If you have the "splice" option, highlite this element in the project tree and left click on the "splice" tool on the left side of the screen (Ver 9 ) and then delete this splice...just guessing here.....
