Product Information

Throughout the entire creation process, the Plus level’s incremental enhancements to the Studio software – which come for a merely incremental price difference – provide the digitizer with a big jump in productivity, with more efficient tools and better control. Make sure you're holding the shorter bit of thread close to the needle while sewing - otherwise, it will slip through the eye and you'll have to keep rethreading it! To practice slip stitch you'll want to cut out a small square of fabric. Fold it in half and press. Open, and then fold each side into the center line. Press. Fold down center line. You'll have something that looks just like the piece of fabric I'm using.

Sewn items might be articles of clothing, curtains, coverings for pieces of furniture, bedding, the "convertible" roof of a car, or a dozen other things. You'll want to trim the end of the thread that will be put through the eye with very sharp scissors. This will give it a clean edge and help you ease it through the eye of the needle. As with any kind of sewing, practice makes perfect. Work on making even stitches and soon you'll be stitching with finesse. Use the Normal Fill, Column, Satin line, Manual Stitches etc. digitizing tools to create controlled, detailed designs. Editing

Fabric - Might I recommend going to your local sewing store and buying some remnants to start off with? Remnants are small bits of fabric from the end of a fabric roll. They're quite cheap, I love them! Use the Normal Fill, Column, Satin line etc. digitizing tools to create controlled, detailed designs. Everything digitized can be easily edited and changed. Sewing" is the activity involved in making items out of fabric or similar materials, using techniques resembling stitching. (What a "technique resembling stitching" means is subject to individual interpretation, but might include gluing, fastening together with rivets, fusing with heat, etc.) "Sew" is a verb (where "stitch" is both a noun and a verb), though "sewing" can be used as an uncountable noun.

Digitizers will appreciate the time saved with the fast manual stitch transition mode for fine detail and pathing, as well as the ability to work at the machine code level for better control of the sewout. Whether you are moving up and need more features or just starting out, the Embroidery Studio Plus level has all the Tools, Quality & Power you need to achieve impressive results. Sequin Learning to slip stitch is a little complicated, but it's a wonderful stitch to learn to finish your projects. Invisible stitches are the best! Slip stitching is a great way to finish small projects or project that really need to look finished and flawless. :D There are other ways, of course, but this is the main one I use. :) And once you learn to slip stitch you'll want to do it all the time!Double threaded: pull the thread through the eye and double it up. The end that's threaded through the eye will meet up with the thread from the spool. This way you'll have two tail ends. You'll knot these together and then sew with the doubled up thread.

Old English siwian "to stitch, sew, mend, patch, knit together," earlier siowian, from Proto-Germanic *siwjanan (cognates: Old Norse syja, Swedish sy, Danish sye, Old Frisian sia, Old High German siuwan, Gothic siujan "to sew"), from PIE [Proto-Indo-European] root *syu- "to bind, sew" (cognates: . . . Single threaded: pull the thread through the eye so that the needle is a few inches from the end. You can then cut the length of thread that you like. You will knot the longer single thread however you like and begin sewing. I've made things over the years for friends and family, but never thought I would be able to sell my products, until a few friends told me "you could sell them at a craft market!" and "how much would you want to make one of those for me?". In modern English, "to sew" and "to stitch" are roughly interchangeable. There is a slight difference in meaning, but the most important factor that will dictate your usage is the context: what word does your audience expect to hear?

Using the pictures for reference will probably help a lot. And remember that these stitches should look the same on both sides. :) You may also want to invest in an iron, self-healing cutting mat, rotary cutter, and rulers. But they're not entirely necessary! I find it is easiest to wind the end of the thread around one of my fingers so that it forms a loop. You can then slip that loop off your finger and pull the end through. I usually do this twice so I know the knot will stay! Stitch & Sew 2’s Studio Plus level – an exclusive through TEXMAC – was designed for the serious digitizer in mind. Encompassing all of the tools of the other 2 levels, Studio Plus provides greater depth in the program’s digitizing, editing, and lettering suites.
