In addition to normal satin stitching, EmbroideryStudio provides raised satin, both for outlines and fills. The resulting embroidery consists of multiple satin layers which add dimension and a raised tactile surface to your designs. Of course it uses a lot more stitches.
Typically, Raised Satin is used to create extra body in narrow satin objects for visual effect and to provide a raised or ‘sculpted’ surface. It mimics the padded satin stitch which is manually done on machine.
Raised Satin can also be used with delicate handcraft- and heirloom-type designs. When done by hand, these all employ a narrow satin padded fill. It can also be applied successfully to some styles of font or used for narrow columns of even width.
3Raised Satin is best applied to objects 7mm wide or less. This is a safe average for most machines. Indicative settings for best ‘loft’ are 0.30mm manual for satin spacing with 3 or 4 layers. Or rely on auto spacing for most object shapes.
3The width of a raised satin object must be less than maximum width your machine can stitch. This will be different for some machines. Refer to your machine documentation.
