Transform Image to "Zebra Pattern"

This tutorial outlines the steps to transform a clipart-style image into a Zebra Pattern embroidery design using Embird software. Starting in the Editor window, a user opens a simple image either from a file or using built-in clipart tools. The image is then processed through the "Image > Colors > Zebra" menu, allowing customization of the zebra pattern effect. Once the desired pattern is achieved, the image is converted into stitch data by clicking the "Convert to Stitches" button. The result is a new embroidery-ready design featuring the zebra pattern effect.

1 - Run Embird and click the "Editor" menu to switch to the Editor window.

2 - Open a simple clipart-style image using the "Image > Open" menu. In this example, the "phone" image was created using the Font Engine plug-in, as shown in the Create Clipart-Style Design tutorial. Another way is to insert a random image using the menu "Image > Surprise Me! > Clipart".

1. Open clipart-style image
