Contour fill, explained
Contour fill suits shapes where curved rows add movement, such as petals, leaves, waves and swirls, and it catches the light differently from a flat tatami. Depending on the shape, rows can crowd where it narrows and spread where it widens, so a test sew-out is worth it. Embrizo fills large areas with tatami at an angle it picks for each shape rather than with contour fill; contour fills are usually set up by hand in desktop digitizing software.
