All embroidery objects in BERNINA Embroidery Software have defining settings or ‘properties’, the most important of which is the stitch type. Whenever you create or modify an object, stitches are generated according to the associated stitch type. Stitch settings such as spacing and length can be adjusted before or after digitizing.
Stitch types divide broadly into two categories – ‘outline’ and ‘fill’. Outlines are used, as the name suggests, for outlines or borders of shapes and for details. Fill stitches are used to cover large areas or ‘color blocks’ in a design. Outline and fill stitches are generated whenever you create embroidery shapes, but they can be changed at any time.
BERNINA V9 provides a variety of digitizing methods or ‘tools’ for creating embroidery objects. These tools are used in conjunction with stitch types to create embroidery ‘objects’.
This section explains how to select basic outline and fill stitch types, as well as change stitch settings to obtain the best results. Basic outlines dealt with here include Single and Triple, Satin, and Blanket. Basic fills discussed include Satin and Step. See also Advanced Digitizing.
