With the ES Chenille option added to your EmbroideryStudio system, you use a single design window for both chenille and standard lockstitch embroidery. In addition, however, there is a specialChenille toolbar which contains chenille-specific stitch types and machine functions as shown here.
Basic chenille stitch types The two basic stitch types created by all chenille embroidery machines are moss and chain stitch.Moss stitch ES Chenille Moss produces a looped stitch which gives a dense cover. This stitch produces the typical raised stitching associated with chenille work. It works best with simple shapes. Moss stitch is used to fill in areas and create depth. It can be stitched using different needle heights – lower for outlines and higher for fill.
Chain stitch ES Chenille Chain produces a decorative style of stitching ressembling the links of a chain. It is used for outlining and bordering designs as well as in monograms. It can be used to produce a more delicate look. Tip In conjunction with chain stitching, a design typically builds in height from the edges to the middle.
