Jagged Edge This is an effect that can be used for both satin stitch and fill stitch columns. The jagged edge is formed by varying the length of the stitches on one or both sides of an object. The length from one stitch to the next is called the range, and it can be increased or decreased to produce different effects . Some uses for jagged edge stitching are creating a tree line in a landscape, or blending colors together to create the fur on an animal. . This embroidery of the Northern Lights is made using the Jagged Edge effect Curved Fill This is an effect that can be applied to a fill stitch to create movement or dimension. The effect is formed by placing stitches on a curved line within a filled shape. This is an excellent way to add realism to a design. There are many different uses for this fill effect. Some examples are wave patterns, globe shapes, animals, snow, and clouds. TIP Try varying the density of the curved fill to create different effects but watch out for exposed underlay. Page 4
Patterned Fill Many of todays digi-systems have pre-set options to choose from, which can create a duplicating pattern throughout an area. The pattern fill is very helpful in adding dimension to designs that would otherwise look flat. There are many patterns that can be created and these are just a few examples of what there are to choose from. User-defined Patterned Fill This effect gives the user the ability to create a pattern that will be duplicated within a filled area. An example would be to take a word and repeat it over and over as part of a fill background. This effect is created by applying a .bmp image to a basic fill pattern. The needle penetrations are removed from the fill to create the pattern of the word. See how the word Data Stitch Inc. is repeated in this fill pattern. Also see the SS pattern in the other example. Complex Fill with holes This is a tool that some digi systems have that gives us the ability to create a fill of any shape with a consistant stitch angle. The tool then calculates the best way to fill in the various parts of the object, without having to break the area into separate pieces. The stitch angle as well as the density and stitch length can all be varied, as in any fill stitch. This option is extremely useful in creating any irregular shapes. It also allows holes of any shape to be placed within the fill. Page 5
