10/28/2016 Getting Started Part 2 Troubleshooting Bad Embroidery Embroidery Article bristle brush. To remove knots that remain behind, poke a pin through the knot to loosen and lift away from the backing, and then snip. All snipping should be done on the backside next to the stabilizer to avoid damage to the fabric. If the stitching is intense, you might consider shaving the stitches away. Some embroiderers have reported using a disposable razor to cut away the bobbin thread and there are also gadgets like Peggy’ s Stitch Eraser that work quite well. Sharing is Caring One article can’t cover every problem an embroiderer might experience. There are beautiful, quality designs digitized to meet requirements of days long ago that remain on the market, so as materials change and software and equipment are updated, embroidery skills will continue to require experimentation and communication with other embroiderers.

Stitchitize Embroidery Design Learning Studio LESSON 1 - Digitizing Basics & Theory Lesson one covers the basics of digitizing artwork for embroidery. We have broken down the art of digitizing into some basic fundamental elements. Each element is important to understand, as they are the tools you will have as control factors over how your designs sew out. We will refer to these principles throughout the lessons and will expand upon them as we do. At the top of each lesson there are links to the various topics in that lesson, so that you can easily return to review a topic. Try the glossary for any terms that we may use that you are not familiar with. If you have questions about any of the topics please use the bulletin board in the student lounge to post them. Perhaps the answer you are looking for is already there from a previous student. This way we can all learn together and from each other. Stitch Types The goal of the Stitchitize embroidery Design School is to break down modern computerized embroidery, or Swiss Embroidery, into the most basic elements. The embroidery machine understands movement from one stitch to the next and has settings for either needle up (jump) or needle down (stitch). The needle remains stationary in Swiss embroidery and the movement comes only from the hoop. The modern stitch types we use in creating embroidery designs are formed by moving the hoop in a similar pattern for a series of stitches that produce an effect or "stitch-type". There are three main types of stitches to choose from with many variations of each. The three basic types are "Satin stitch", "Fill stitch" and "Run stitch". Many different names are used for each stitch type. For example, Satin stitch can be called a "Blat", Fill stitch can be referred to as "Tatami" and Run stitch is also known as "Detail" or "Underlay". For your convenience, a glossary has been created with commonly used embroidery terms and explanations. We hope to make our glossary one of the most extensive tools available and welcome any input from our students. Basic Stitch Types Satin Stitch This stitch is formed by placing stitches in a zig-zag pattern to form a column. The stitches can be varied in distance from each other, can be at any stitch angle, and different stitch lengths. Satin stitches are used in a wide variety of ways, and can be found in most embroidery designs. The most common uses for satin stitches are to form letters, to create borders, or patterns. The letter “E” is made up of two Satin stitch columns. This Fill stitched box has a Satin stitch border that will help give it a clean edge and keep it looking straight.
