Purchased Card - inspiration! |
Creativity in machine embroidery does not require digitizing however, editing is a great skill that will expand your current inventory of designs.
Having software that will give you maximum editing power is a great solution.
Purchasing well digitized designs is the second part of insured success. Editing features that rank at the top of the wish list:
re-sizing, changing color, changing stitch order, splitting designs, mirror
imaging vertically and horizontally, lettering, monograms, changing fill types,
aligning capabilities are needs and worth every penny.
Pay close attention to
the lettering package of the program for variety of font styles, ability to
move the letters within a word, circular lettering, changing one color or all
colors within a word, altering size of the individual letters, changing the shape
of the word as a whole, are micro sizes included? Lettering is the most used
feature so pick a software that offers beautiful fonts which targets women, men and
children from casual to business. Having a built in monogramming tool built in
is icing on the cake and will be invaluable. And monogram built in
embellishments is the cherry on top.
Luxury editing features corner repeat (4 way mirroring) with
options, design repeat, circular designing, scattered designing, color wheel
aka color play, a smart color sort, removing overlaps, hole sewing, auto applique.
Total up the features you want and compare the pricing of
the editing software packages versus full digitizing packages. Does it include
free updates? A dongle (security device)? Can you keep it on your desk top and
lap top? There are some brands of software that offer free upgrades and do not
have physical security devices instead they are activated be registering the
serial number. There are many choices available and before eliminating any
software, look at all the tools that is included, the support offered, cost of
future upgrades and the current needs and where you might want to go in the
future.
