eClass: Anatomy of a Design Webinar

Anatomy of a Design (Intermediate)

Why should you take this class? Because understanding how a design is created will make you a better embroiderer. In this session, we’ll become an embroidery detective by learning:

  • How to judge design quality
  • Is it technically good or does it just look pretty
  • What to look for and how to do it
  • How to judge suitability for a given sewing situation (fabric, garment, color, thread, backing)
  • What are the three main stitch types and how they affect the result

How various stitch attributes affect the results and how you can change them

While not technically a digitizing class, you will begin to look at a design through the eyes of a digitizer. Why waste time sewing a design if you can look at it on-screen and see that it is not sew-worthy for your project?

Target Audience: Experienced embroiderers
Level: Basic – Intermediate

Embroidery Tip

  • Some embroidery machines and designs force a needle drop in the center of the design as the first stitch. While this is not an issue when stitching on most fabric, it will show on paper, vinyl, leather, and other non-woven items. If that hole will not be covered by stitches, manually advance the design to begin at the second stitch.
