Outline Stitches -
Padding stitches are those which are raised from the fabric by layer(s) of either fabric or thread.
-
Powdered fillings are where isolated stitches are scattered across the design area so the ground fabric is still clearly visible between them. The stitches can be either regularly spaced or randomly distributed. The density may also vary within the design area, for instance close together in the centre and more widely spaced towards the edge. The orientation of the stitch can be consistent or varied.
