EmbroideryStudio provides a wide selection of underlay types to choose from. Use a single layer of underlay, or for more support, combine two underlay types. The underlay you choose is determined by the shape and size of object, fabric type, and purpose it is to serve. EmbroideryStudio lets you set values to suit different fabrics, lettering appearance and size.

Tatami underlay is used to stabilize large, filled shapes. It resembles an extremely open tatami fill stitch, where rows of stitches are placed across the object to create the support. |
