What it means

A path segment would produce stitches that are too long for clean embroidery.

Why it matters

Long stitches snag, float, and reduce durability.

Common triggers

  • large sparse paths
  • under-sampled curves
  • oversized running-stitch outlines

Typical fixes

  • auto-split the segment
  • increase segmentation
  • change stitch strategy

Notes

  • Good candidate for deterministic auto-fix.
