What Are the Differences Between the Redwork and Branching Tools in Hatch Embroidery?

Both the Redwork and Branching tools in Hatch Embroidery help streamline your stitching process by automatically sequencing and grouping embroidery objects. However, they serve different purposes based on the type of objects in your design.

Redwork Tool:

  • Best for designs using run stitch embroidery objects.
  • Automatically sequences and groups selected objects, ensuring the entry and exit points are at the same position.
  • Redwork will stitch over the objects twice.
  • Do not use Redwork if your design contains filled objects.
  • Learn more about using Redwork in the Hatch Embroidery Online Help.

Branching Tool:

  • Ideal for designs that include filled objects.
  • Automatically sequences and groups selected objects, even if they have separate entry and exit points.
  • Branching may stitch over the objects one or more times, depending on the design.
  • Use Branching for more complex designs with a mix of run and fill objects.
