Digitizing Tips:
Create a digitizing plan:
Decide which shapes to trace first – look at the image and think of it as layers. Trace the layers in back first. Trace the shapes that should stitch first and leave the details for last.
Here are some suggestions for this image:
- trace the tan circle first
- trace the green leaves (behind)
- trace the brown stem
- trace the orange pumpkin in sections
- trace the green vine
- trace the green leaves
Determine the stitch tools for each shape:
Consider what stitch to use for tracing each shape. Here are some suggestions for this image:
- leaves – fill stitch tool
- pumpkin – fill stitch for each section
- stem- satin or fill stitch
- vine – narrow satin or bean stitch
Digitizing Steps:
Follow these 5 digitizing steps for each shape, as a guide, to get you started.
If you need help with digitizing the design, join the Embroidery Gatherings Facebook group and ask your questions, anytime.
