Important embroidery information

Different stitch types

Underlay stitches

• underlay stitches are the foundation of a

motif and are used to stabilize the base

fabric and hold it in shape. They also

prevent the covering stitches of the motif

from sinking into the knit or the nap of

the fabric

Satin stitch

• the needle moves left to right and

viceversa. The result is a very dense,

covering zig-zag stitching to fill the

shape

• satin stitching fills are ideal for narrow

and small shapes. Satin stitching is,

however, not suitable for larger areas,

since wide stitches are too loose and do

not cover the fabric properly. In addition

there is the danger that with too long

stitches the threads could catch on

something which would damage the

embroidery

Step stitch

• a fill stitch with stitches of specified

length sewn in rows used primarily to fill

large areas quickly

Fancy-fill stitches

• to give areas a special effect

• stitches that create a motif with an area

to be filled

Outline stitches

• usually straight or satin stitches

• used to define a specific area or areas

• examples are: straight stitch, double run,

triple run, satin

Jump stitches

• long stitches that skip over fabric after

one part of the motif finishes and the

next begins

• before and after the jump stitch securing

stitches are sewn

• jump stitches are trimmed before the

next color starts to embroider
