Adding Accent Colors for Digital Embroidery Machine Designs

Video Transcript

" Hi! I’m Anne Beckett from Anne’s Embroidery in Austin, Texas. We’re still working on the bird, we’re working on the color green and I have just outlined where I want my stitches to end up. I also just made a color change so from blue to green, my blue ended up right here, you can see where the little cross is and essentially I want to start there because I don’t want my machine jumping all over the place and it slows the entire design down. So I’m going to start here…and I am because I have a little bit of green right there that hasn’t been done I want to end up all the way over here. These lines mainly go in this direction so I’m going to make that decision and there we have our green, it doesn’t look too green on there but it will when I sew it because like you can digitize in any color or any set of colors but what I like to do is come close to it but then once I actually sew something then I’ll take the persons design and match the thread colors but we’ll do that later on. So here I am just kind of drunkenly walking across my design that’s what I do and I need to get that green in there cause that green’s important or you wouldn’t have put it there."
