Quilting In-the-Hoop: Stippling Built Into All Our Designs!
At Anita, the quilt stitching is included in the backgrounds. So, If you want to add stippling or a geometric pattern, simply choose that block. The quilt stitching will wind up being embroidered behind the whole design, so no matter the design you merge on top of the background, it will look perfect every time. You don't have to worry about the stitches being too heavy behind your design either.
