Stumpwork

StumpworkButterfly2.pngBERNINA Embroidery Software provides tools and techniques for expanding flat embroidery surfaces into raised or ‘sculpted’ surfaces.

Openwork or ‘cutwork’ embroidery is a delicate form of needlework which involves cutting away portions of the background fabric and binding the edges with embroidery stitching. In addition to reinforcing the edges, resulting holes may be filled with embroidery or needle lace.

Stumpwork, on the other hand, is a raised form of embroidery. It is created on one backing fabric and transferred to another, ‘ground fabric’. BERNINA V9 allows you to visualize all components of a stumpwork design in a single workspace. At the same time, it lets you edit each stumpwork piece individually and output to machine.
