Digitizing - Creating Unique Designs For Embroidery
Although not all designs can be digitized for embroidery
, most of them can be edited and sized to suit the pattern. Once the modifications are finished, the digitizer will decide on the pattern of stitches, or how the stitching will be incorporated into the design. This is extremely important if the finished piece is to be even, smooth, and without 'gaps' or any flaws. The Digitizing software used ensures that the finished product will look as close to the original design as possible.
Stitches will then be assigned to each separate section of the work by the digitizer. Particular stitches will be used to bring out the uniqueness of the design. A layer of underlying stitches will be used first so that the top surface will be smooth when the rest of the design is stitched. This also helps to add density to the design and to prevent the finished stitches from 'sinking' into the fabric. If not done correctly, the fabric itself may show through the design. The Digitizing process will prevent this from happening.
There are three basic stitches involved in the Digitizing of any pattern design. These would be run, satin, and fill. With just these three basic stitches many variations can be formed. The kind of fabric being used is taken into consideration. Stitches that work well on one type may not be appropriate for another. Some designs may be 'ruined' by using the wrong fabric. Heavier fabrics may take to Digitizing much better than lighter ones. Often, even with the underlying stitches being applied first, a lightweight fabric may still have the 'sinking' effect, and lose the quality of the design, especially if the design is intricate and involves many stitches to complete.
Digitizing takes an old world craft that was once time consuming and tedious, and brings it into the modern world. Designs that once took months to finish by hand can now be completed in just a few hours by using the proper software programs. Whether you want a design embroidered on a particular article of clothing, an accessory, or something you can frame and hang, this is the way to do it if you don't have the time or desire to complete the project.
There really isn't any pattern that can't be rendered into an art form by Digitizing. Many people have taken photographs and had them enlarged, imprinted, and embroidered, and used them as wall hangings, pillow covers, and more. This may be something that you want to learn to do yourself, and the software programs available not only teach you how to do it, but also will enable you to turn out unique and beautiful end products. You will be able to learn step by step how the process works, experiment on different fabrics, and learn the stitches and how to get the effect you are after. You may even want to turn this into a business venture.
