Are you ready to venture into digitizing or do you simply want to understand the process to better outsource your designs? This week on Embroidery Hub, Willy answers one of the most common questions he gets asked as an embroidery digitizer, which is, “What are the main embroidery stitch types?” He will also demonstrate all of these stitches using Chroma digitizing software so you know when to use them in your own designs.

Before we get to digitizing, the first thing we need to do is go over the three main types of embroidery stitches: run, satin and fill.
In each of these categories, there are a number of options, which Willy will address in this informational video. But before we get to that, it’s important to understand the primary role of each.
A run stitch is a single straight stitch that can be used to create small details, trace or placement stitches, knockdown stitches or even underlays. These are used to support your fabric and guide your embroidery to avoid placement and registration issues.
A satin stitch is a long stitch that runs from one end to the other like the letter “l” and is usually up to a .5 inch thick. Any wider and the stitches may become too loose and fall apart.
Satin stitches, which are typically used for borders and appliqué embroidery, also come in different styles like gradient or jagged, but you’ll have to watch the episode to find out more about that!
Lastly, fill stitches are used to cover large areas of designs that you wouldn’t be able to fill with a satin stitch. The most common type is a Tatami fill, but there are others such as smooth, brick and zig zag.
To learn more about these stitches, as well as their more artistic counterparts like embossed or motif stitches, you’ll just have to watch the video.
Not only will Willy go over each of these in detail, he’ll also demonstrate them using Chroma Luxe digitizing software. You’ll even get to see how each of these styles stitch out as Willy takes his digitized design over to the MT-1501. Watch as he embroiders the design on the back of a denim jacket and be as amazed as we were with the result!
