Digitize Your Own Designs

Like the famous saying goes, "Build it and they will come," this new book from master digitizer John Deer takes a similar approach, "Understand it and it will work."

Digitizing Made Easy defeats frustration and opens the door to machine-embroidered creativity. You'll learn everything from the three basic stitch types to more advanced techniques for digitizing with multi-needle machines.

This personal lesson with John Deer teaches you:

• Elements of great design: stitch angles, corners, registration, mapping and color changes
• Understanding distortion and underlay
• Tips and hints, including density, locking stitches and making stitches disappear

Complete with an embroidery reference chart, glossary and a bonus CD ROM with 25 embroidery designs and additional tutorials, with Digitizing Made Easy you'll gain the confidence you need to use your software to its fullest potential and will be on your way to digitizing your own unique designs.
