Files for chenille machines
Chenille uses loop (moss) and chain stitches, which follow very different rules from standard embroidery. We digitize for chenille heads with the right fill spirals, borders and tack-down outlines for varsity letters, mascots and patches.
What a chenille file includes
- Chain-stitch outlines and tack-down runs
- Moss (loop) fills with spiral or contour paths
- Height settings for the loop
- Separate standard-embroidery sections for combination machines
Common chenille work
- Varsity letters and numbers
- School mascots for letterman jackets
- Large chenille patches with felt backing
- Combination designs with chenille fill and standard embroidery detail
Questions about chenille
Do you need to know my machine?
Yes. Chenille formats and settings vary by machine, so tell us the brand and model.
Can you combine chenille and regular embroidery in one file?
Yes, for combination machines. We split the file so each head runs its part.
