Most people don’t realize that they have options when it comes to embroidery, but you do! You can choose to go with the standard, more traditional type of embroidery or use a different technique called applique. Both methods have benefits – what works best for you just depends on your project.

Standard embroidery is what most people think of when they think of embroidery. It involves a machine making small stitches of thread onto a piece of fabric to create a design. This method is better for projects involving a small design or logo or for very detailed designs. Even though “standard embroidery” sounds relatively boring and normal, Krillan offers over 700 colors and types of thread to ensure that your project will look awesome!

“Applique” is French for application, which is the perfect way to describe applique embroidery techniques. Embroidery using applique techniques involves stitching a piece of fabric onto another piece of fabric to create a design. Utilizing applique techniques provides many more creative opportunities than standard embroidery since a wide variety of fabrics can be used to create texture and enhance designs. Applique is also great for large jobs, as it decreases the amount of thread needed. Applique techniques do require more manual labor, however, to cut and place the pieces of fabric to be stitched, so turn-around time tends to remain the same for both embroidery methods.

Both techniques have advantages, and may be the perfect choice for you depending on your needs. Regardless of which technique you decide to use for your project, you can expect nothing less than an amazing design and high-quality work from the experts at Krillan.
