Satin stitch

Satin stitch can be used for outlines or fills. It is well-suited to borders and thicker outlines. It is also well-suited to narrower shapes where stitches run the entire width of the column. Satin stitches are almost parallel. Because there are generally no needle penetrations breaking up the fill, satin stitch creates a glossy, high-quality effect. Satin stitch can be used with any of the digitizing tools.

Tip: Puffy foam is commonly used to achieve 3D-like raised embroidery. Digitizing for puffy foam may be a bit more technical than every-day digitizing, but if you follow a few rules, it’s actually not that complicated.
