In this complimenting video for the blog post, Lisa took simple SVG graphics similar to those you’ll find in many craft art packages and imported them into StitchArtist Level 2 to create these cute designs. These “cute fruits” were easily transformed into freestanding emblems using the lovely faux-overlock-edged border and thread-built patch base that our PatchArtist software lets you create in a couple of clicks!
Although importing SVG makes line objects to which we can assign stitches, the shapes in most SVG files are drawn for paper or vinyl cutting rather than embroidery. Though importing SVG or other vector objects provides a starting point, you may need to alter the shapes as Lisa did for them to stitch well. As a digitizer, you’ll determine whether you can use these objects as they are, adjust them, or simply use them as a guide to create new objects that make sense and create interesting textures in embroidery.
The program referred to as Merrowly Patches in this video has been relaunched as Embrilliance PatchArtist. Any tools and assets from Merrowly Patches referenced in this video can be found in the updated Embrilliance PatchArtist software.
