Step-by-Step Guide to
Preparing your Design for Embroidery
One of the most important steps in creating your own design is starting with a good clean image. This 35 page booklet is a tutorial for the beginner, who wants to learn where to get the outline images, how to download them from the Internet, then how to scan the image and clean them up in readiness for digitizing.
If you are just starting out in the exciting world of creating your own designs, this tutorial will be of great help to you, no matter which embroidery program or machine you have. As in her other tutorials, Carolyn explains everything in a clear and straight-forward way, with plenty of "screen-shots" so you can follow along.
Carolyn's tutorials are all immediately downloadable, and you can be reading this one within 10 minutes. It comes in Acrobat Reader format, and includes all the picture files you'll need to work through the tutorial.
