86 113
This special technique consists
entirely of thread, repeating
passes multiple times in small pixel
spaces, creating the look of hand
embroidered needlepoint.
FS FREE STANDING
This technique calls for a
hi-loft batting to be placed
under select appliqué fabrics,
helping certain elements
“puff” up once stitched!

design that gets a back fabric
added on and a satin stitch around
the edges, finishing it off in the
hoop entirely.

L STANDING LACE
Run on a water-soluble stabilizer,
or wash away, these specially
digitized stitches will then get
rinsed, revealing the beautiful
stitch work turned into lace.

3D DIMENSIONAL
3D designs will generally require
2 or more hoopings. The 3D
elements will get stitched out first,
and later tacked onto the main
design in the final hooping.
RE RAGGED EDGE
A basting stitch will be
digitized around your design
to create an even raw
edge. Once removed, the
raw edges will get snipped
1⁄8”-1⁄4” apart, creating a
free and fluttering edge.

TS TILE SCENE
Tile scenes are beautiful and
detailed pieces of original
artwork that have been
divided up and digitized into
multiple blocks. Once joined
together, they create the
larger image as a whole.
