December Echidna P.I.E – Holly & Poinsettia

MONTH 6 – HOLLY & POINSETTIA: 3D FLOWERS
In this lesson I’ll use customizing software to repurpose embroidery designs to create a 3D effect. My instructions include the use of tools within the Embrilliance Essentials and Embrilliance Enthusiast programs, however, the process is quite simple and if you have other software, you should be able to follow along quite easily.
