How to use underlay

Underlay should be applied, when we digitize a artwork.

The border can be wider than 1mm if your taste is such, but the border should still remain around 80% on the fill and 20% off the fill.

At times, this might require the fill to extend to the outside edge of the border instead of to the inside edge of the border. As long as the border cleans up the edge of the fill, this will look good. If the border sits too much on the fabric, one side of the border will look different than the other. The 80% / 20% rule will place just enough on the outside of the fill to ensure the fill won’t be seen, but place the majority on the fill for a uniform look.
