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 vice versa. 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
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
