The Satin Stitch is an essential and classic embroidery stitch, it is known for its smooth and glossy appearance.
It creates a shiny, satin – like surface that reflects the light, by laying down parallel stitches side by side, covering the fabric completely without any gaps.
This stitch is commonly used to fill in solid areas of embroidery, it can also be used for creating subtle shading and texture by changing the length and direction of the stitches.
The satin stitch is perfect for creating bold and vibrant designs in embroidery. It allows for rich colors and bold shapes to stand out, making it ideal for adding impact to designs.
How to execute satin stitch :
- STARTING POINT : Bring the needle up through the fabric at one end of the area you want to fill.
2. FIRST STITCH : Insert the needle back into the fabric at the ending point, ensure that thread lies flat and covers the entire area without any gaps.
3. REPEAT THIS PROCESS : Layering the stitches closely together until the desired area is filled or covering the fabric completely.
4. END : Finish the satin stitch by securing the thread on the back of the fabric with a knot.
Satin stitch is also ideal for adding dimension in embroidery designs.
It requires precision and control for achieving a neat and polished satin stitch.
