How do digitalize lace template?
Hi, dear cutefamily! I trying 2 days to do
lace template, like here are free lace
alphabet, stitch out 12 different template
and all break down.
What kind of stitch I must use? I have 4D
professional programm.
2151 Elegia, I have Digitizer Pro, but I got
this tip from an Embird tutorial. The
principal is the same with all
digitizers.Do 4 layers of your normal weave
fill, without underlay. Do the stitches 3mm
apart and in layers of 0,45,90 and 135
degrees.This gives it a nice solid base for
any other stitches you want to put on top,
or you can leave it just like that.When you
do the outline, use the satin stitch just
inside the fill stitch about .08 mm wide
with edge run stitch and 2 rows of zig zag
underlay.
When you have mastered that,you can play
with different ideas, but you must remember
that all the stitches need to overlap.
Another tip when you do the outline,
overlap the beginning and end a bit.This
gives it a neat continuous look.

8500 I have 3D Pro and don't know how to do it other than design a lines pattern or use a filling stitch at very low density, and repeat that 2 or 3 times at different angles, say 0, 45, 90 and 135 degrees, or 0, 120 and 240. In Embird you can change filling stitches so that they overlap slightly and thus prevent them falling apart after washing. I haven't a clue how to do that in 3D.
42449 Elegia,
I know how to digitize lace with embird. I
dont know about 4D. You have to create
layers, like Mops wrote, in different
angles so the piece wont fall apart.
The lace alphabet I loaded in 'design
by cuties' was made with embird, and
used +45 degrees for the first layer, -45
degress for the second layer and 0 for the
3rd layer. I used normal fill in all
layers, but low density.
I hope this helps.
Hugs,
Yoriko
