Manually Creating Professional-Level
Embroidery Patterns (Manual Punching)

When fill stitches or satin stitches have been specified for region sewing, the angle of the stitching over the
region is either all in the same direction or in a direction depending on the shape. However, if the Manual
Punch tools are used, the sewing angle can be adjusted as desired to create patterns that appear more like
manual embroidery.

For example, if fill stitches or satin stitches have been specified for a region with the following shape, the
stitching will appear as shown below.

If a manual punching pattern is created using the above image as a guide, the stitching will appear as shown
below.

In addition, feathered edge settings can be specified for manual punch patterns. By reducing the stitch density
or specifying the length of the stitching, a feathered outline can be applied to the pattern.

Refer to “Featherd edge” in “Manual punch” on page 108.

Fill stitch

The lines drawn in the pattern
show the direction of the stitching.
The stitching is created so that it
turns around the center of the
radial stitching.

A three-dimensional appearance, like the flower petals, can be
created for the flat design of this shape.

Example: Fill stitch

Different variations can be applied to the flower petals.
