Step fill consists of rows of straight stitches and is suitable for filling large, irregular shapes. Stitches are laid in rows going back and forth across the shape. These can be uniform or patterned. You can choose from a number of preset patterns. You can also control stitch spacing and length.

Note  With Step fills you can select patterns formed by needle penetrations. The default Step pattern (No. 1) is designed to create a uniformly flat and smooth texture similar to a woven mat. See also Applying step fill patterns.
