Specialty Stitching

Freehand

Create designs with a hand-drawn appearance, something which is difficult to achieve through conventional digitizing methods.

Hand Stitch

Create hand-stitch effects which combine randomized stitch length, angle and count.

Jagged Edge

Create rough edges, shading effects, or imitate fur and other fluffy textures.

Stipple

Create textured fills of run stitching which meanders more or less randomly within a border.

Maze Fill

Create maze-like stitching which follows object contours for open fills.

String

Create craftstitch fills as well as delicate borders. Can be used as a border for fixing ornamental mirrors and sequins.

Zigzag

Create fills or open borders or columns of even width for an open ‘sawtooth’ effect.

E Stitch

Create fills or open borders or columns of even width for an open ‘comb’ effect.

Trapunto

Move internal travel runs to the edges of an object so that they can’t be seen through open stitching.

Accordion Spacing

Vary stitch spacing between dense and open fill, producing gradient and shading effects.

Color Blending

Create color blends where two colors are merged from one to another using a mixture of dense and open fill.

Chenille

Utilize stitch patterns traditionally associated with chenille work – Square, Double Square, Coil, and Island Coil.

Cross Stitch

Fill large areas with cross stitching on an invisible grid that applies to all design objects.
