Digitize Smarter with DG17’s Cascade Fill

Intricate embroidery usually means a lot of manual digitizing, building internal lines one by one, and managing stitch order by hand. Tajima DG17’s Cascade Fill tool removes that extra work. Instead of creating patterns manually, Cascade Fill generates a continuous, evenly spaced, machine-optimized stitch path inside your shape. 

How Cascade Fill Works 

1. Draw a closed outline. 

2. Apply Cascade Fill. 

3. Adjust spacing or density. 

   
   

That’s it. 

Tajima DG17's Cascade Fill tool automatically creates a flowing stitch path that follows the shape’s geometry, just like the outline of the spider web in the video below. No manual line building. No complicated sequencing. 

Because the stitch path is continuous, designs need only one trim per color, significantly reducing stops, jumps, and machine interruptions. 

Why Cascade Fill is Better Than Manual Digitizing 

Manually creating this effect requires multiple objects, careful sequencing, and constant adjustments. Cascade Fill does it with a single object and a few settings. 

The result: 

• Faster digitizing 

• Fewer trims 

• More efficient production 

Where Cascade Fill Works Best 

Cascade Fill is perfect for everyday production. Lettering and monograms gain texture and visual interest without extra trims. Floral and paisley shapes stitch beautifully with smooth, contour-following lines. Any design where you’d normally build repeated internal lines by hand can be done faster and cleaner with Cascade Fill.
