Ink/Stitch Contour Fill
Ink/Stitch
Topic illustrationWhy we picked it
Study a fill treatment that emphasizes the relationship between lines and shape.
Put it into practice
Create two different outlines using the same overall dimensions. Compare the contour movement and mark areas that need closer inspection before a sew-out.
Keep a useful record
Save an editable working copy and label your experiment with its intended size and material. Compare the preview with a sample before repeating the setup on a finished item. Note what changed and what remained constant so the next attempt answers a specific question. A screen preview helps with planning, while the sewn result shows how the material behaves.
