Try this! Apply Travel on Edge effect to force
underlying travel runs to the edges of an object so that
they can't be seen through open stitching. See

Creating open stitching effects
In JANOME Embroidery Software, the Travel on
Edge effect is typically used in combination with
open Weave Fill stitching to fill backgrounds or for
shading effects where the absence of travel runs
under the fill is more important than exact spacing.
It is available for use with Parallel Fill or Parallel Fill
Rectangle objects using Weave Fill stitching.
Travel on Edge automatically moves underlying
travel runs to the edges of an object so they can't
be seen. It also applies consistent row spacing and
prevents segments from overlapping. Without it,
travel runs, spacing variations and overlapping
rows between segments are visible and can spoil
the effect of open stitching. Another use of Travel
on Edge is with gradient fill effects. Gradient Fill
extends the usefulness of Travel on Edge by
providing a simple way to produce variation in a
filled pattern and the illusion of depth in a design.
