Some customers always ask what's running stitch, what's filling stitch. Maybe they are not familiar with embroidery digitizing. Now Love Embroidery Digitizing will introduce some main stitch patterns below, please check:
Running stitch: Running stitches also named walking stitches, are single line stitches which run one stitch between two needle penetration point. A running stitch goes from point A to point B. They are used for very fine detail and also for underlay.
Two-ply stitch: A two-ply stitch is a running stitch that goes from point A to point B and then goes back from point B to point A and stops.
Bean stitch: A bean stitch is a running stitch that goes from point A to point B and then goes back from point B to point A and then goes forward from point A to point B.
Satin: Satin stitches are nothing more than zigzag stitches. A satin stitch can range in thickness from just over 1mm to usually a maximum of 12mm. A satin stitch is normally used for nice detail and for most normal size lettering.
Fill: A fill stitch is used to cover a large area in a design. Fill stitches are a series of running stitches aligned together to create a solid area of coverage in the embroidery design. Fill stitches can be aligned to create patterns or they can change direction to provide different effects from within the embroidery design.
