Tatami Fill
What is Tatami Fill?
Tatami fill, also called fill stitch, is an embroidery technique that covers large areas with rows of repeating stitches. It adds texture and stability to broad sections of a design.
It is used where a satin stitch would be too wide to hold securely, keeping large filled areas flat and durable.
