Stitches
Knockdown stitch, explained
Knockdown is often a sparse fill or grid in a thread close to the fabric color, sewn a little larger than the design so its edges blend in. It does a similar job to a water-soluble topping, and on deep pile many embroiderers use both. Embrizo doesn't add a separate knockdown layer; its fleece preset uses heavy underlay instead, and the towel guide covers topping and backing.
