Editing

Editing—Changing aspects of a design via a computerized editing program. Most programs allow the user to scale designs up or down, edit stitch by stitch or block by block, merge lettering with the design, move aspects of the design around, combine designs and insert or edit machine commands.

Editing is a powerful skill to have under your belt and I would highly recommend learning it before (or instead of!) learning digitizing. Learning to digitize is more than just learning your software; digitizing requires understanding theory—and that is typically not included in your software manual. You can learn a lot about theory in Anatomy of a Design: How to Think Like a Digitizer & Become a Better Embroiderer.

Embroidery Tip

  • Metallic threads are not recommended for very small letters (under 6mm) or for complex letters with tiny ornaments (Old English,for example) or with very thin strokes (smaller scripts and serifs).
