“AutoDigitizing” Function

This tool guides the user through the steps of automatically digitizing any bitmap image. Acceptable file formats include: .jpg, .bmp, .tif, .gif, .png. Importantly, it also supports vector files like Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg), and Windows Metafiles (.emf and .wmf).

“Digitizing” Function

A tool for manual digitization using Bézier curves or other methods like simple drawing and freehand sketching. Create contours filled with stitches.

“Underlay” Function

Program underlays before executing the embroidery. This option strengthens both the material and the embroidery. In the Underlay tab, you can choose different types of underlays for complex fills and satin stitches.

“Pull Compensation” Function

Sometimes, when embroidering the outline of a design, it doesn’t align perfectly with the fill. This issue may appear on certain materials. This function allows you to extend the embroidery fill so that the outline sits precisely at the edge of the fill.

“Complex Fill with Holes” Function

A filling feature that allows setting the stitch angle and accounting for empty spaces (holes).
