Description

Level 2 includes Level 1 and is designed for production and skills training for those who would like to create more sophisticated designs, as well as a more complete set of tools. It will allow the user to learn a wide cross-section of stitch types and properties, and have enough freedom to create virtually any design.

Most users will begin by importing a background image – some artwork that they want to embroider. Then you create ‘objects,’ which are shapes that will be stitched, over the artwork. You decide the shapes, their order and their stitch properties. Those who are familiar with any modern drawing tool will feel comfortable with StitchArtist as it uses a Bezier model of shaping.

When assigning stitches to shapes, you have freedom to change your mind at any time; any shape can be made into any type of stitch as easily as clicking a button.

Editing outlines is a frequent task when creating designs. StitchArtist is very helpful in this task:

1. Stitch generation is instant and automatic.
2. There are no mode changes for selection, editing, coloring, moving, sizing, rotating or adjusting properties.
3. You can work in any number of display options. No need for a specific one to be used during any process.
4. Users unfamiliar with Bezier can use a simulated spline system which is easier to teach, and can be helpful in the early instruction process.

If you have missed it, we do have an FAQ on StitchArtist:
