Reverse stitch direction ​

Use Edit > Reverse > Reverse Curves to reverse stitch direction in vector or closed embroidery objects.

Stitching direction can affect embroidery quality because of the push-pull effect. The Reverse Curves command lets you control the push-pull effect by reversing stitch direction. It can be applied to open as well as closed outline objects. To reverse stitch direction, select an object and apply Edit > Reverse Curves. The command is also available from the popup (right-click) menu.

Reverse Curves can be applied to Run, E Stitch, Column C, Motif Run, and Sequin Run. It can also affect the stitching direction of Jagged Edge, Contour Stitch, Tatami offsets, and Flexi Split patterns.

TIP

Vector objects too can be reversed. The effect on vector objects is only visible when they are converted to embroidery.
