Plotting the Stitches for Digital Embroidery Machine Designs

Video Transcript

" Hi! I’m Anne Beckett with Anne’s Embroidery in Austin, Texas. Now I’m going to the center of the design because you want to start at the center, by starting in the center I’m going to run through it just a running stitch so that when I go to embroidery it’ll tack down the fabric or the garment to what we call backing or under lay. To it to a point where you have plenty of stitches to hold it down because he has a little thin line here, need to pay a little more attention at this point and come out to the edge of this color. Now the yellow on this area of yellow doesn’t really have any texture as far as crayon or pencil or any type of drawing so I’m going to use what we call a fill or tagamey stitch it’s a flat stitch or a flat group of stitching and you’ll see the major difference when it comes time to actually sew it out. Okay so this is what they call a fill, I’ll show you what I can do with it, anytime you turn the corner to you have to go with the straight line and even the little that looks like mistakes I think you need to put them in cause it’s important, so okay this the shape of what I’m going to fill in there where I’m going to start is here…I’m going to end up here….and I’m just going to plot my stitches this way, stitches are plotted."
