Glossary
This glossary contains both
terms that are specific to
BuzzSize
®
and others that are
general embroidery terms.
Density
Density refers to how tightly
packed are the alternating lines
of stitches in a fill. In BuzzEdit
®
,
you specify density by entering
the distance in millimeters
between adjacent lines.
Design Area
The design area is a rectangle
within which you can place
stitches. For single-hoop
designs, the design area is the
same as the hoop rectangle. For
multiple-hoop designs, the
design area covers the area of
several hoops. The design area is
normally the intersection of all
of the hoop rectangles. In some
cases, the design area may
exclude a portion of a hoop
rectangle. This usually occurs if
the hoop frame does not allow
the sewing machine to cover the
entire area of the hoop rectangle.
You will see this, for example,
in the Pfaff multi-hoop and the
HUS Giant Hoop-it-All
®
.
Fill Stitch
Fill stitches are series of running
stitches formed closely together
to form different patterns and
stitch directions. Fill stitches are
used to cover large design areas.
Ghost Color
Ghost Color is the screen color
used to display the stitches of a
design that are not part of the
current selection. The deselected
stitches are only displayed in the
ghost color when other stitches
of the design are selected.
Selected stitches are displayed
in their correct colors.
