Stitch techniques are used to recreate your artwork as a digitized file that the embroidery machine can understand. No two digitizers will create your file the same way, it is an art. Below are images and descriptions of some more common techniques.
 |
Fill Stitch This type of stitch consists of a series of stitches sewn closely together to cover broad areas of embroidery. This prevents loose stitching and achieve a particular look. Fill stitching is the most dense stitch and will increase overall design stitch count by more than other types of stitching. |

Running Stitch This a simple stitch also known as a bean stitch. It can be used for effect and also when small detail cannot be done using the Satin Stitch. Running Stitches can be a single row and also double or triple where the row is sewn over more than once to created a more bold look. |

3D Puff Embroidery This effect is achieved by placing foam beneath the stitching to create the raised embroidery. Not all designs can be done this way. Bold objects of larger sizing are need for this. Please consult a design specialist to see if this can be incorporated into your logo. |
 |
Satin Stitch Also known as a column stitch, this is one of the most common styles. Text is usually made in this way and so are outlines that are usually 0.25" wide or more. |
 |
Zig Zag Stitch This stitch technique is used to achieve a design look and or also to reduce stitch count over large pieces of applique fabric that require embroidery at the edges. |
