The award-winning embroiderer David Morrish published his first book, Digital Embroidery at the beginning of the year. In this piece, he runs through a range of stitch

“The accordion effect in Wilcom varies the stitch density of the fill within a shape to create a sense of form.

“Wilcom’s program splits provide a variety of textural fills, with Wave being one of David’s go-to choices, excellent for leaves and flowers.

“The Wilcom database offers a variety of motifs to create lace-like fill effects, with candlewicking being one of David’s favourites.

The satin raised effect enhances the tactile and visual depth of satin fills, creating a 3D appearance – ideal for raised borders or highlighting shapes and details in artwork.”
