Lacework and stipple are two decorative fill stitches. Lacework can be used to give a lacey look to objects such as flowers.
Gradient Fill varies stitch spacing between dense and open fill, producing shading effects which are difficult to achieve manually.
Stippling, also known as vermicelli, is a free flowing run stitch that can be used for decorative effects or to produce quilting.
Ripple and Contour fills are related stitch types which create an open fill which follows the contours of a shape. Cross stitching is a popular technique for filling large areas with low stitch counts. Crosses in separate objects line up precisely when using the same fabric count.
This section explains how to apply the various decorative types to outlines and fills, as well as change stitch settings to obtain the best results.
