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
