What it means

The selected stitch density is likely to pile thread or distort the material.

Why it matters

Over-density creates stiffness, puckering, and visual buildup.

Common triggers

  • dense fills
  • small areas with heavy coverage
  • stretch and pile fabrics

Typical fixes

  • loosen density
  • reduce overlap
  • change fabric/setup profile

Notes

  • Base rule family; context-sensitive expansion documented in DENSITY_TOO_HIGH_FOR_FABRIC.
