Fill stitches

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’. The Stitch toolbar provides access to the following fill stitch types:
