AutoDigitizing function

This tool guides the user through the steps of automatically digitizing any bitmap image. Acceptable file types include .jpg, .bmp, .tif, .gif, and .png. Crucially, the tool also works with vector files like Adobe Illustrator .ai, Scalable Vector Graphic .svc, and Windows Metafiles .emf and .wmf.

Digitizing function

We use manual digitization tools using Bezier curves or other methods: simple, freehand drawing. We create contours (outlines) filled with stitches.

"Underlay" function

Program the underlay before embroidering. This option reinforces the fabric and embroidery. In the Underlay tab, you can select different types of underlays for complex fillings and satin.

Pull compensation function

Sometimes, when embroidering, the outline of the design doesn't align with the embroidery fill. At the same time, it turns out that the embroidery looks good on some fabrics, but the problem occurs only in certain fabrics. This function allows you to extend the embroidery fill so that the border aligns perfectly with the edge of the fill.

"Complex Fill with holes" function

This is a filling function with stitch angle setting and taking into account empty spaces (holes).
