What is registration in embroidery?

How accurately the parts of a design line up when sewn: outlines on fills, colors against each other, and sections across re-hoopings.

Registration, explained

Poor registration shows as gaps of fabric between colors or outlines that miss the shape they frame. Common causes are fabric shifting from loose hooping or a light backing, missing pull compensation, and a sewing order that jumps back and forth. Embrizo extends lower colors 0.3 mm under the shapes above them and adds pull compensation, which hides small shifts.
