    I have inkscape and inkstitch installed. I create a simple text, lets say:

    Die

    Now i want the stitches to go form tie outer line of the center of the D and from the inner line of the D to the letters middleline like in this svg:
     

    But how can I do this?

    Not exactly sure what you mean. You want the outline to be zigzags?

    For generel information about Satins have a look over here: https://inkstitch.org/docs/stitches/satin-column/

    You can have a look at the Text extension withing Ink/Stitch to see how those letters are done. Ink/Stitch has a constantly growing font library where you can see the fonts available in the text tool.

    If you just want the outline of this particular font. Remove the fill, enlarge the contour and run Convert to satin. You can define the start and end points of the satins by breaking the path at a specific node open.
