When it comes to embroidery, there are a lot of different stitches you can use. One of the most common questions is which stitch should I use for what application? Here we’ll take a look at two of the most common stitches used on an embroidery machine: The single stitch and double stitch. Both have their pros and cons depending on what type of project you’re working on. Let’s take a closer look at each option from Eagle digitizing to see which one is right for you.
What
is a single needle?
A single stitch is a stitch made with a single thread. Single needles are great for outlining Outlines, monograms, and other decorative elements. They work well on lighter fabrics and are less likely to tear holes in the fabric than double stitches. Single needles are great for pillowcases, tablecloths, and other items that need to be cleaned regularly. They are great for decorative applications such as monogram, outline, and adding pop colors.
What
is a double needle?
Double
stitch is two parallel stitches made with two threads. They are great for
adding strength to items such as tablecloths and pillowcases, as well as
decorations such as monograms. Double stitches work best on heavier fabrics,
making them perfect for items such as tablecloths, pillowcases, and blankets.
