How do you know which one does what? I eventually stumbled upon a nice graph showing exactly what each one does ( click here to check it out).
LEARNING HOW TO DIGITIZE EMBROIDERY DESIGNS SOFTWARE
At first I was a bit confused because there are a ton of different levels of their software available to buy. I went ahead and check out Floriani software when I got home. One works with vector images (things like logos or line art) and the other is free handed digitizing (to create more realistic images, like a wolf with 7 different colors of fur all gradated to look 3 dimensional). He also mentioned that you’ll need to learn two types of digitizing. Steve told me they use Floriani software to digitize. It made me realize that the two steps are very different. SOFTWARE: I loved hearing about how they have artists who draw out the designs, and then digitizers who took the designs and made them sew out in a machine. He showed it during one of his presentations and it helped me get a grasp for how things worked. I’m so grateful! I thought I’d share what he told me, since finding this info online would have been a whole lot easier than tracking down the founder of a big embroidery company :).įirst off, here’s a video that shows a brief description of their design process. He told me exactly what I needed to get started.

During one of the breaks I pulled him aside and told him I was a professional designer who wanted to start digitizing my design. He was so nice and very open to chatting with everyone there. I was lucky that this conference was big enough to bring the owner and founder of Anita Goodesign himself (On a side note, I was very surprised to find out that Anita Goodesign is actually a man named Steve. (embroidery machine salesman know a lot about the machines, but they just can’t talk graphic design details with me like the actual embroidery designers can) I’ve been wanting to get into designing my own digitized embroidery patterns (to be sewn out on those fancy embroidery machines) for a while now, but since it will require a great financial investment to get started, I wanted to talk to an expert before I made a move. I love to go and learn more about any type of sewing, but for this conference I had specific plans. As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent last weekend at the Anita Goodesign Embroidery party.
