HELP! Is anyone familiar with this stitching type?

Is anyone familiar with this type of stitching? It's seen on a lot of the American Eagle and Hollister type of stuff. The stitching looks almost like each thread penetrates the material in one spot and then fans out to 3 other nodes. This is heavy thread and not very dense but we just can't seem to reproduce this effect very well. We use Tajima Pulse DG/ML Maestro X2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seems like it is applique,

Check with Stahls.com or Twillusa.com, they can cut the applique for u and create a sew disk .

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of the applique and we have in house laser beds. I noticed after I posted this I didn't specify what in the photo I was talking about. If you see the stitching on the inside edge of the material (center of the photo) there is a group of silver thread. That is what we are trying to accomplish. The applique and dark been stitching is a large part of what we do. But we just seem to have trouble with this puffy, messy stitching style and Pulse does not seem to have any fill patterns that duplicate this.

Thanks,
Charles

The group of "column" stitches is called a satin stitch. THe others would be called a run stitch, or "bean" stitch.

usman,

It took me a minute to find it in Pulse DG/ML but I did find the settings under Satin Repeats. Thank you so much for the advice. I'm not at all familiar with digitizing and was trying to reproduce this effect with my digitizers. You have saved me from massive head injuries!!! Thanks again!
