My BERNINA Embroidery
Underlay stitches
Underlay stitches are the foundation of a motif and are used to stabilize the base material and hold it in
shape. They also prevent the covering stitches of the motif from sinking into the knit or the nap of the
material.
Satin or Leaf stitch
The needle moves left to right and vice versa. The result is a very dense, covering zigzag 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
risk that with too long stitches the threads could catch on something which would damage the embroidery.
Step stitch
Many short, equally long stitches are embroidered in offset rows closely next to each other which results in a
densesly filled area.
