TATAMI FILL

Tatami (also called step-fill, ceeding fill, or weave fill) is the default fill for large solid areas. The machine lays straight rows of stitches across the shape, then offsets the start-points of adjacent rows so the joins do not form a visible seam. The pattern, angle, and offset are all tunable parameters.

Tatami's parameters (angle, spacing, offset pattern) directly control how the fill catches the light and how much thread the job consumes. The same logo can run with the same density at very different fabric weights depending on tatami choices.
