Custom embroidery has two main sewing techniques used for lettering and numbers: satin and step satin stitches. These two techniques create their own unique appearance and texture. Step satin is a weave of smaller stitches that fill an area and create a flat, tight design. Satin stitch embroidery is a row of single stitches that creates a sheen and clean finish.
