Curved Stitching
EmbroideryStudio provides a variety of stitch types and techniques for creating curved stitching effects. These follow the contours of a shape and can be used to give a sense of depth and movement to your stitching. Some can be used with borders as well as fills.
Curved stitch effects covered in this section include:
| Feature | Overview | |
|---|---|---|
 | Contour | Stitches follow the contours of a shape, creating a contoured, light and shade effect. |
 | Offset | Similar to Contour in following the contours of a shape. It can be used in combination with turning stitches. |
 | Spiral Fill | Works best with simple shapes without holes or islands. Use it with either fixed or variable length run stitching. |
 | Radial Fill | Generates radial turning stitching with various stitch types including satin, tatami and program splits. |
 | Flexi Split | Decorative effect where one or more lines of a program split pattern are molded to the object shape. |
 | Florentine / Liquid | Create interesting curved effects by shaping needle penetrations to follow the contour of digitized lines. |
