Padded Satin Stitch

Padded Satin Stitch gives a more raised appearance than Satin Stitch. First, fill the area with stitching such as Chain Stitch, Seed Stitch, Straight Stitch or Running Stitch. Next, work Satin Stitch over the area to cover the padding stitches in the usual way. For an even more raised look, add another layer of Satin Stitch on top.
