Embroidery 101: A Beginner's Guide to Embroidery
01. Exploring Flat Embroidery
Flat embroidery is a technique where stitches are embroidered directly onto the surface of the material, creating a flat and smooth design.
02. Available Thread Colors
We offer a wide range of available colors for embroidery thread to ensure that you can find the perfect match for your design.
03. Exploring Tatami Fill
Run stitch is an embroidery technique where rows of stitches are used to fill in larger areas, creating a smooth and consistent design.
04. Adding Depth and Texture with 3D Puff Embroidery
3D Puff embroidery is a technique where the design is raised, creating a three-dimensional effect that’s perfect for larger shapes and text, adding depth and texture to your design.
05. Smooth and Glossy Satin Stitch Outline Embroidery
A straight stitch is commonly used to outline designs or to create a border, and also as a cap for 3D Puff designs.
06. Using the Run Stitch for Embroidery Designs
Using the Single-Line Run Stitch for Small Embroidery Guideline Details.
Common problems associated with traditional embroidery guidelines.
Font size and line thickness too small for easy reading
- To ensure legibility, avoid using small letters in embroidery guidelines. Use text that is at least 0.25” tall and 0.05” thick.
- Use a minimum line thickness of 0.05″ for the regular satin stitch. Thinner lines can be achieved with a run stitch, which uses a single line of stitches.
- To measure text in Illustrator, use the measuring tool or convert font point size to inches by going to:
- File > Preferences > Units > General > Inches
- For a thickness that’s appropriate for most fonts, 36pt is approximately equal to 0.25”. However, the exact equivalence and thickness depend on the font. Simple fonts such as Arial, Helvetica, and Myriad Pro are recommended.
Common Issues with Unlimited Color Embroidery
Small or overly-detailed designs
- Graphics with details smaller than 0.86″ (20 mm) in width should be avoided to prevent color discrepancies or stiffness in embroidery.
- To achieve a smooth color transition between solid colors, it’s best to use large, filled shapes instead of small bits that cover a large area.
