- Are you ready to venture into digitizing or do you simply want to understand the process to better outsource your designs? This week on Embroidery Hub, Willy answers one of the most common questions he gets asked as an embroidery digitizer, which is, “What are the main embroidery stitch types?” He will also demonstrate all of these stitches using Chroma digitizing software so you know when to use them in your own designs.

Before we get to digitizing, the first thing we need to do is go over the three main types of embroidery stitches: run, satin and fill.
In each of these categories, there are a number of options, which Willy will address in this informational video. But before we get to that, it’s important to understand the primary role of each.
A run stitch is a single straight stitch that can be used to create small details, trace or placement stitches, knockdown stitches or even underlays. These are used to support your fabric and guide your embroidery to avoid placement and registration issues.
A satin stitch is a long stitch that runs from one end to the other like the letter “l” and is usually up to a .5 inch thick. Any wider and the stitches may become too loose and fall apart.
Satin stitches, which are typically used for borders and appliqué embroidery, also come in different styles like gradient or jagged, but you’ll have to watch the episode to find out more about that!
Lastly, fill stitches are used to cover large areas of designs that you wouldn’t be able to fill with a satin stitch. The most common type is a Tatami fill, but there are others such as smooth, brick and zig zag.
To learn more about these stitches, as well as their more artistic counterparts like embossed or motif stitches, you’ll just have to watch the video.
Not only will Willy go over each of these in detail, he’ll also demonstrate them using Chroma Luxe digitizing software. You’ll even get to see how each of these styles stitch out as Willy takes his digitized design over to the MT-1501. Watch as he embroiders the design on the back of a denim jacket and be as amazed as we were with the result!

Fabulous video, Willy. I learned so much. There are features in Chroma Luxe that I never new existed. Thank you for showing them! I could go back 3 or 4 times, to make sure they stuck in my brain.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This helps sooo much! I have been digitizing but haven’t understood this so that I can fine tune the stitches to develop my own designs
SO happy to help!
Thanks for this informative video. The design is 🔥
Glad you like it!
Good video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
My jaw dropped at how many stitch types there were. I had no idea embroidery included this many options. I'll have to delve more into the Chroma trial software to play around with each to see how creative I can get with my designs like Willy.
We're excited to see all your future projects!
Hi. Can you make a video talking about how to digitize ombre colours butterflies and flowers? Thank you so much.
Great suggestion!
Hey, thanks for the video, how do i put a boarderline on my design?
HI there, thanks so much for watching! Check out this video! > ruclips.net/video/O23zNEiexBw/видео.html&t
this helped me improve my design a bit im making for a client. but still having 2 small issues. My sharp edges of the letter M feel too bulky, an same with the T due to the style of letter needed in design. Could you look at it and help me with it?
Hi Jonathan, this is a great question to ask in our Facebook support group, Embroidery and Custom Apparel Mastery. This group is meant for all lovers of embroidery with lots of resources and more members discussing topics and helping each other out and learning about Ricoma machines and other brands! We recommend you join this group as we'd love to have you! facebook.com/groups/embroiderymastery
How do I know what shapes, letters, or designs in general need my start and stop circles to be left to right, up or down, down or up, or right to left?
Hi there! For questions about your machine, please send a service request through our online ticketing system and someone will be happy to help! > ricoma.com/US/support
Please do a video on lace design
Thanks for the feedback! I will pass it down to the team.
Can you make this design available please!!! I would like to give it a try on my machine! 😱😱
We're working on adding this to hoopmade.com!
When digitizing, sometime not all options are available when right clicking on an object. For example, when I am trying to add an angle line, that option doesn't always show up.
Angle line is for Satin stitch. Complex fill is probably what you're in which has only a single angle line (with a few default angles you can pick from or move the angle points to your liking).
Hi there, thanks so much for watching. For additional information on Chroma features, please send an email to service@ricoma.com. You can also sign up for free Chroma webinars on your customer portal. Hope this helps!
Which stitch patterns are available for the Chroma that comes with the machine? How much more to upgrade?
Hi there, if you were looking to upgrade we recommend submitting a request so the team can help ---> ricoma.com/US/contact-us
I appreciate all the tutorials but when Ricoma updates their software is there a way to send the customers out an update? At 4:31 you right click, view, filter. There is no filter now in doing that. The only way I figured out how to do it was to go to the right panel under sequence and individually hide each item. There is probably a much simple way but I have not found it.
Hi there! That is a great question, can you send it in to our customer service team so they are able to help? service@ricoma.com
I live in Canada and have bought a second hand machine. Can I organize virtual sessions from US?

Absolutely! Check out the RUclips channel ---> www.youtube.com/@ChromaDigitizingSoftware
