How to Adjust Stitch Density and Tension During Embroidery Digitizing for Better Results

It is not only enough to convert artwork into stitches in professional embroidery digitizing. It is also very important to adjust stitch density and thread, so that the final embroidery is suitable for production and balance.

What is Stitch Density ?
Stitch density basically refers that how close or far apart the stitches are in specific areas. If the density is more than enough, so the embroidery will probably be stiff or bulky. Because of this fabric puckering, can face thread breaks and unnecessary stitching time issues.

If the density is low, so you can face gaps between stitches and the below fabric will be visible. That's why we should consider and set the correct density design size, fabric type, thread and stitch. It controls the relationship of thread tension, upper thread and bobbin thread. If tension is incorrect, so bobbin thread will visible more on the surface, so stitches will go loose or you will face thread breaks. It is important to consider stitch direction in digitizing phase, underlay and stitch settings. Every machine's response of fabric combination can be different, that's why it is not ideal to depend on software preview.

Stitch density and tension directly affect each other. It creates extra stress on high density fabric, whereas incorrect tension can makes embroidery uneven. Professional digitiziers can sometimes do necessary adjustments in design's actual or similar fabric and test and sew them. Final goal is not to use only maximum stitches, but also to achieve proper coverage, fabric stability, thread control and clean appearance. Right density and tension settings can not only make a design visually better, but threads breaks in production, puckering and reduce other embroidery problems.
