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 "Editor" menu to switch to Editor window.

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