With EmbroideryStudio, you can create sequin run patterns and, optionally, save them to a pattern library for later use. Depending on machine capabilities, patterns may involve twin- or multi-sequin drops, with or without sequin stacking.

Fixing stitches

With sequin patterns, the software actually allows you to apply a different fixing type to each sequin. Normally however, you would use the same fixing for all sequins in the pattern. Typically you would consider the cost of embroidery production against sequin weight in order to find a balance. The fewer stitches used, the lower the production cost. At the same time, you want sequins to stay in place during use or washing.

Sequin stacks

For stacked sequins, pattern setup depends on machine capabilities. With Dahao format, the sequin stack is dropped and secured with a single fixing stitch. For non-Dahao machine formats, the first sequin is dropped, secured, and another dropped on top and stitched again.

Tip: The digitizer needs to know the machine capabilities by heart. If an unsupported combination is selected – e.g. four sequin stack feeding – the drop code is ignored on the machine.
