The Straight Stitch
The straight stitch is the most basic stitch. Think of this as an outline stitch or a detail stitch, where any straight line should be. It’s made by sewing a line of stitches and repeating that process over and over again to add thickness. Straight stitches are awesome for details and ensuring your logo looks consistent every single time it’s embroidered.

The Satin Stitch
The most recognizable stitch is the Satin Stitch! It’s effective for text or borders. You can tell a Satin Stitch apart by its long, unbroken threads that look like satin. These stitches fill entire areas and give the fabric a beautiful sheen you just can’t get with any other stitch. Satin stitches are beautiful in small areas. They create a sense of quality in the logo, and can be effective for micro logos.

The Fill Stitch
This is a common stitch that you can probably liken to weaving, which is great to create volume and texture. And as the name suggests, the fill stitch is great to fill up a large area on your logo. Fill stitches are preferred for larger areas because there’s less space between threads. This gives the logo a more uniform look and creates high color with no space.
