Embroidery uses a variety of stitch types, each suited to different motifs and materials. Understanding how they work helps you plan better designs.
The key stitch types in machine embroidery:
- •Satin stitch: creates smooth, glossy surfaces, ideal for lettering and outlines
- •Fill stitch: covers larger areas evenly
- •Running stitch: for fine lines and delicate details
- •Appliqué: saves stitches on large designs by layering cut fabric
- •3D puff embroidery: produces a raised, textured effect, especially popular on caps
