New! Quick Projects for Digitizers
If you have some basic experience with Generations and just want to learn some specific techniques, then these new Quick Projects are just the thing!
These projects are designed to teach you new ways of using your digitizing software to create a specific embroidery technique or learn how to use specific tools in Generations™. You can pick and choose from a growing library to learn the types of techniques you are most interested in learning. In time, projects will be added for other digitizing programs.
They’re also a great way to give you a taste of the full Learn to Digitize series as well as to supplement what you learn in that course.
Projects include an necessary artwork (or a link to a image) plus the completed sample(s). Some projects may include short videos and other example designs.
Current projects assume a basic working knowledge of Generations™. If you are a raw newbie, it is recommended you start with Unit 1-Getting Started with Generations to get you on a solid footing with the program.
Quick projects not only teach you how to recreate a specific technique, they provide insider tips from a professional digitizer about the whys so that you can take the technique and apply it in your own designs.
You can even try a free sample Quick Project. Nearly Instant Redwork demonstrates how to auto-digitize line art to create the look of traditional hand-stitched redwork. Redwork is a frequently requested technique and you can learn how to do it by following the fully illustrated steps. This free sample includes a link to the artwork used but does not include any other files.
In addition to my projects, Leanne Church, Education and Support Coordinator for Generations with Echidna Sewing Products in Australia has also generously donated a project working with lettering in Generations.
