Underlay Properties
Underlay stitches are laid down before the visible, or “top” stitches, to
help stabilize stretchy fabrics. They can also help to tack down wales
or naps (on fabrics such as corduroy).
There are a variety of possible underlay types available; the following
image gives a schematic view of how the different types of underlay
are sewn.
The Underlay Area in the Properties panel.

You can select underlay types for various types of stitches. Choose
from Contour, Parallel, or Zig-Zag. You can combine underlay types to
