I had someone ask me after my Stabilizer post yesterday what the difference is between satin stitch and fill<br />
stitch. I mentioned that when I monogram towels, I like to use a fill stitch (and that is my personal preference,<br />
not a requirement). Maybe this will help? Basically a satin stitch is the same as the finishing stitch on appliques.<br />
It’s a back and forth FLAT stitch and this is what it looks like below. When you see the fill stitch photo hopefully<br />
you will see the difference! This is Monogram Wizard Plus Serif Block.<br />
Here is a 3 letter monogram done in a satin stitch. I use Monogram Wizard Plus and the below font is<br />
Arabesque. When you’re using MWP, it gives you the option of fill stitch or satin stitch for your monogram<br />
(below ‘system functions’ box where you save your files). If you buy font files off the internet, then they may<br />
come either way (probably) depending on how big the letters are.
