Chapters in this manual fit into three categories:
Concepts explain how things work in Embird Studio, the principles of digitizing and building an embroidery design.
Controls describe the tools based on above concepts and where to find them.
Guides provide detailed step-by-step procedures to create and/or edit various embroidery designs or their parts, according to above concepts and with use of above controls.
Order of chapters is chosen so that you can create your first simple embroidery design as soon as possible and then add other pieces of knowledge to master everything else that Studio provides to the user. Chapters are organized into 3 levels with increasing detail and complexity degree.
Studio NEXT is an optional module for Embird embroidery software. It allows user to digitize her/his own designs for machine embroidery.
Studio contains two parts: Digitizing Tools and Sfumato Stitch . Both Sfumato and Digitizing Tools parts are optional, which means that it is not necessary to purchase both of them.
Digitizing Tools serve to digitize a fancy embroidery designs, lettering and company logos. Design is digitized so that user creates outline (vector) objects either on a blank background or on an image used as a template. Vector objects are then filled with stitches. Vector objects are created manually node-by-node , with free-hand or trace tool , or imported from vector graphic files (SVG format). All these approaches can be combined one with another.
Digitizing Tools are suitable for digitizing of company logos, fancy designs and lettering.
Sfumato Stitch allows user to create photo-realistic designs from digital images. It can be combined with Digitizing Tools to add lettering, borders, etc. Sfumato uses similar vector objects like the Digitizing Tools, but they are filled with other type of stitches. Sfumato stitches form meanders with various density to mimic the underlying picture while allowing the fabric to show through stitches.
Use Sfumato Stitch to digitize photo-realistic designs from photos
