208 Important Embroidery Information – In General

Choosing an Embroidery Motif

• simple motifs with a low stitch

count are suitable for

embroidery on fine fabric

In General

Embroidery Test

 always stitch an embroidery

test on a sample fabric. Adjust

color, thread quality, needle,

stitch density, tension, etc. to

suit the motif if necessary

 for the test use the same

fabric and stabilizer that you

will use on the project

Scaling/Sizing Motifs

• motifs can be scaled/sized with

artista software either on the

embroidery computer or on

the PC

• to get good results, the motifs

should be scaled within the

limits of 75% to 150%

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. They are accomplished automatically in the built-in

designs for artista 200 and in artista Design cards.

Fill Stitches

Satin Stitch

•

this stitch sews a dense zig-zag so the thread covers the motif

• satin stitches are suitable for filling small and narrow areas. They

are not suitable for filling large areas, as long 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

• large-scale, densely

embroidered motifs

(e.g. with multiple color and

embroidery direction changes)

are suitable for medium- and

heavyweight fabrics
