Best Part of Embrilliance Enthusiast? Knockdown Stitches (and a sale)!

One of the most popular features of Embrilliance among machine embroiderers is the incredibly useful knockdown stitch tool. It is included exclusively in Enthusiast and you can get 10% off until August 5.

What makes knockdown stitches so useful? When embroidering on anything with a nap, like fleece and towels, you generally use a topping stabilizer. These can be helpful, but have a limitation: They do not hold down the nap past the actual stitch, which means outlines can be lost in the surrounding fabric. 

Knockdown stitches create an underlay for the entire design. The underlay extends a few millimeters past the edge of the design, which helps the overall effect.

This product revolutionizes embroidering on towels – no more need for expensive topping stabilizers (Solvy for example) – the stitching automatically flattens the surface, allowing the design stitches to show beautifully, without nesting in the pile of the towel. This is especially effective on designs with thin elements, like text, that get lost in the loops, fuzz, and fleece.

You can alter the distance the knockdown stitch extends from the design, the density and length of the stitching, and even use the bidirectional option to create a mesh-like foundation of stitching for the most difficult knits and high-pile fabrics.

Enthusiast runs without Essentials, but when combined, a lot of easy-to-use fun can be found! They have an extended return policy of 90 days so give it a try!
