Embrilliance Essentials Tutorials How To Do ThisThis is so easy to do in StitchArtist that I created a 60 second video showing you how to do this, apply a motif fill AND add a satin border around both the outer and inner edges. Although I am in Level 2 in the video this can be done in Level 1 for those that are just getting into digitizing. I wonder if we can get to 400 votes Is that too much to ask We have until Wednesday Jan 28th at 11:59PM MST so we shall see what happens in the next two days. There are a couple of different things about this design the finishing stitches are not the traditional machine embroidery satin stitch. You will also note when you watch the design stitch out that there are no jumps between the purple legs. When you have run stitches that travel instead jumps that trim, the machine will just keep on the speed its going. So when ever possible I like to incorporating travel stitches into the designs I create hiding them under stitches that will stitchcover later. After creating the shape and choosing applique, I set the finishing stitch to None. If I am using a fabric cutter, I only select the Position stitch. However, I know me I like to change my mind and setting it to be an applique stitch type gives me to flexibility to quickly add the material option in the future by checking the box. If I set it to a run and later decided I wanted the second run, I would have to copy and paste and make sure it was in the right order or change it from a run to an applique, set it to none and check both boxes. So I saved myself some extra work today by setting the shapes to applique none in the beginning. Because it was an open path, The decorative stitch of the turtle shell was going to cover the spots where the head and legs connected anyway. Since these runs are connecting to the stitches before and after, you will want to turn off the ties if you have them set on your running stitch. There is no reason to lock these little runs as we want them to be a planned part of the design.
