Ink/Stitch
Topic illustrationWhy we picked it
A starting reference for covering larger areas with fill stitching.
Put it into practice
Fill a simple leaf or badge shape. Compare two stitch directions while keeping the shape and size fixed, and note how direction changes the visual texture.
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.
