    I am having trouble with the convert line to satin stitch. I have created the path and converted line to satin but is only runs a single line. Not sure what I am missing.

    Hello jawsfree:

    Make sure you do the following...

    1) Draw a bezier or freehand style curve and make sure it is selected

    2) On the right go to Fill and Stroke, then Stroke Style on the top right

    3) Assign a stroke width as desired. Satin stitch has to have a width defined

    4) Run the Ink/Stitch extension, then Satin Tools/Convert Line to Satin

    Or You can Do It The easy Way, And duplicate the paths you want satin, after you hit duplicate, before you click anywhere else, go to Extensions>Ink/stitch>Selection to Pattern, IWorks FOr me everytime

    The file actually includes a satin column, but it is so narrow, that it looks like a running stitch.

    So, as @Huertaaj described, set a reasonable width in the "Object > Fill and Stroke" panel before you convert the stroke to a satin.

    @DocterSmooth that's an interesting idea and certainly a nice effect in some use cases. But it will look completely different from a real satin (in terms of stitch direction). When using this method it's really recommended to watch out for possible unwanted long stitches.

    If anybody else comes across the same problem.

    The current version (v2.2.0) has an issue with "convert line to satin" specifically for macOS. It will output one of the rails pointing into the wrong direction.

    Solution: select one node of one rail and go to path > reverse.
