๐Ÿชก Welcome to Embroidery Studio

This is how professionals turn pictures into embroidery: the picture is only a guide โ€” nothing gets stitched unless you draw it. You trace over the picture, shape by shape, and see the stitches appear as you go.

  1. ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Open a picture to trace. It shows up faintly under your work. (Optional โ€” you can draw freely too.)
  2. ๐ŸŽจ Pick a thread color on the right.
  3. Pick a tool and click dots on the picture:
    โœ๏ธ Line โ€” a thin stitched line. Great for outlines and small details.
    ๐ŸŽ€ Border โ€” a smooth, thick band of stitches (satin). Great for borders, stems and letters. You choose its width.
    ๐Ÿชฃ Fill area โ€” click around an area and it fills solid with stitches. You choose the stitch direction.
  4. Finish each shape with a double-click, or the green โœ“ Done button. Made a bad dot? Press Backspace. Changed your mind? Press Esc.
  5. Shapes stitch in the order of the list (top first). Use โฌ†๏ธโฌ‡๏ธ to reorder โ€” put big fills first, details last, and keep same colors together so there are fewer thread changes.
  6. ๐Ÿ’ผ Save project often so you can come back later. When you're happy, press ๐Ÿงต Get embroidery file and copy the .dst to the machine's USB stick.
