Digitizing
Essentials
In EasyDesign, designs are composed of basic shapes or ‘embroidery
objects’. These are like ordinary vector graphics in that they have certain
defining properties or ‘details’ such as color, size, position, and so on. They
also have properties unique to embroidery such as stitch type and density.
Manual digitizing
This section describes how to digitize shapes with the main digitizing
methods. It also explains how to adjust digitizing settings to obtain the best
results. See Manual Digitizing for details.
Fill stitches
This section explains how to select a stitch type for an object, as well as
change stitch settings to obtain the best results. Fill stitch types described
here include Satin, Weave, and Embossed Fill. See Outline & Fill Stitches for
details.
Embroidery stamps and motifs
This section describes how to insert stamps into your design, and how to
adjust them to get the results you want. It also explains how to create motif
runs and fills with the built-in motif library. See Embroidery Stamps and
Motifs for details.
Thread colors
This section describes how to select colors from the Color Chart and how to
change background colors inside and/or outside the hoop. See Thread
