Highlights

✦ A flattening stitch is an underlay foundation — it compresses textured, lofty fabrics like fleece and sherpa before the logo is sewn, so stitches don’t sink and fine details stay sharp.

✦ It’s the difference between buried and premium — without it, embroidery sinks into the pile and logos look fuzzy; with it, you get cleaner edges, better clarity, and a consistent, retail-ready finish.

✦ It adds stitches, not hassle — because it’s an extra process, it raises the total stitch count (a 3,000-stitch logo becomes about 4,000), but EG Threads still honors your overall volume pricing.
