Stitch & Sew Home: Over 45 Cross Stitch, Embroidery and Sewing Projects

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.

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. Use the Normal Fill, Column, Satin line etc. digitizing tools to create controlled, detailed designs. Everything digitized can be easily edited and changed.You'll want to start by threading your needle in one of the two ways I've taught you. Knot the thread end(s). Be creative with digitizing. Sequin is available in standard digitizing tools such as normal fill and running stitch, but also as manually inputted sequin. Stitch Edit

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. 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! Now, thread your needle - I chose double threaded for this one because it makes it more visible! Double threading your needle will make a stronger seam, but choose single threaded if you want the stitches to be almost invisible. I'm also using purple thread, though typically you will use thread to match your fabric so it blends in. :)

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 I'm going to show three ways to knot. The way you knot might depend on what you're sewing, but most of the time it will be whatever is easiest for you. 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. At the end, take the needle and move it to the right of the last vertical line the thread forms. Bring it up through the fabric and form a loop like we've been doing. Put the needle through the loop a couple times and viola, a knot! Yay!
