Create unique, flowing stitch patterns that add motion and dimension to any closed object

• Fills selected shapes with spiral running stitch which matches the outline of the shape
  • Adjustable start point for the spiral provides many variations
  • Convert to other stitch types including motif run* and sequin run** for amazing effectsSpiral fill creates a true spiral path stitching inside any closed object. Regular shapes like circle and rectangle give regular even spacing. Irregular shapes give very interesting 3 dimensional effects from varying stitch spacing.
  Shapes can be a mix of curves and straight segments.  Specify the desired stitch length and stitch spacing.
  Spiral fills automatically recalculate the stitching when you re-size or reshape the fill shape. Break Apart to a running stitch path and you can convert to other outline stitch types in a single click. Remarkable creative effects are possible.

Create and reuse patterns for runs & fills

Once you’ve created or digitized a patterned fill you like, e.g. repeated hearts, diamonds, etc, store it away as a Motif and use it
whenever you want over and over again.

• Any pattern you create can be saved as a Motif.
• Create repeating, decorative outlines using any Motif set.
• 3D Warp works with Motif Fills to create 3D effects

Simple to create and Manage
Any pattern you create or open from a file can be saved as a Motif. You can create Motif sets (for instance, diamonds or petals) and save your Motifs to any of them—one Motif can be copied from one set to another.

Motif Runs 
Create Motif repeats along a digitized line.  Create repeating, decorative outlines using any Motif from any Motif set. Control rotation angle, orientation and space. Use control points or enter precise horizontal and vertical dimensions from a selection menu to control scaling. When overlaps occur as two Motifs meet, you can remove the overlapping element from one of the Motifs.

Motif Fills
EmbroideryStudio Motif Fills automatically repeats the Motif in parallel rows to fill the shape. You’re in control of scale, spacing, stitch angle, rotation and more. Select different Motifs for forward and backward rows, or use dual Motifs: overlaying and offsetting, for instance, diamonds and stars. Dual Motifs can be stored in a set just like any other Motif.

3D Warps
3D Warp works with Motif Fills to create three-dimensional effects. Shapes can be made to look concave or convex, or can have the perspective of distance (for instance, to create the sense of the curvature of a ball). A single control point lets you adjust the shape with a simple click-and-drag. You can apply 3D Warp as you’re working on a design, or store it in a Motif Set.

Create unique, flowing stitch patterns that add motion and dimension to any closed object.

• Complex shadings and open fills add dimension, color and perspective to embroidered designs. Simple menu selections let you create a range of effects using complex combinations of stitch patterns, spacing, angles and more.
  
  Florentine Effects
  Effects lets you define a curved guideline of virtually any shape, and then automatically creates a fill stitch pattern that follows that curved line—all the while maintaining uniform density and needle penetration patterns. Apply the Florentine pattern to a single object or multiple objects with a single click. Use a subtle shallow curve to give a natural, organic feel to otherwise plain flat straight fills. Or use a bold curve for a more dramatic curved look.
  
  Liquid Effects 
  Applies two different curves to a single object, to create the effect of motion. Here, the stitches at the top of a shape follow a different curve than those at the bottom—and they meet in the middle. EmbroideryStudio automatically adjusts the stitching to ensure a beautiful and smooth transition between the two curves, preserving accurate densities and needle penetration patterns.Contour Effect
  Follows the shape of an object to create a curved, light-and-shadow effect, and a sense of movement. Select from either a contour with stitching that curves to the shape of the object, or one that runs in a spiral within a circular object. Control stitch length, variants, offsets and more.

Add depth and dimension to your embroidery with powerful shadows, shades and open fills.

• Complex shadings and open fills add dimension, color and perspective to embroidered designs.
• Complex shadings and open fills add dimension, color and perspective to embroidered designs. Simple menu selections let you create a range of effects using complex combinations of stitch patterns, spacing, angles and more.
• Accordion Spacing
  Varies stitch spacing between dense and open fill, producing the graduated shading effect that’s time-consuming to achieve manually. Select from one of eight different preset effects and then adjust the densities at both ends for the exact gradient you want. Combine it with other stitch effects to open up even more creative possibilities.

Color Blending

Is Accordion spacing times two. Instead of creating the graduated effect with one color, Color Blending does it with two (for instance, green graduating to blue). Use it to create perspective, shading and other dramatic color effects. Tell EmbroideryStudio which stitch effect, spacing and colors you want to use, and it blends the two colors with a perfect stitching pattern.

Stippling

Creates textured fills using run stitching that meanders randomly within a border. Control every aspect of the run: stitch length, spacing and angle, loop spacing, and more. Size or reshape your Stippling run any way you want. EmbroideryStudio automatically adjusts the Stippling effect even when you change the type of run stitch.

Convert black and white, grayscale and color images into multi-color artistic stitching

• Converts any photographic file into a color digitized file
• Automatically handles spacing
• Specify row and stitch angles
  Photo Flash converts any photographic file into a color digitized file, adjusting the background to match the fabric color you’ll be stitching on.  Photo Flash automatically handles spacing (even with columns of different widths), and breaks long Satin stitches into shorter ones to avoid the “line down the middle” effect. Specify row and stitch angles, optimize stitch spacing, specify skew angle, determine the distribution of needle penetrations, and mor

Add carving, embossing and other dimensional effects to your embroidery. Creates texture and details without increasing stitch count.

Split Lines: Lets you add dimension and detail by creating a line that splits the object—a fill pattern for instance is repeated on both sides of the split. Specify the length, size and shape of your split line. You can use multiple split lines to add even more dimension to the design. Split Lines are part of the object’s properties, and is preserved when you regenerate the object, change stitches or close and reopen the file. Carving Stamp:  Adds the rich appearance and dimension of woodcut or embossing. Take any image or design and quickly convert it into a Carving Stamp. Simply drag that stamp over any closed object and it will appear “carved” into the object. EmbroideryStudio Carving Stamp creates the needle penetration pattern that gives the design a “woodcut” effect. Once the stamp is applied, the object can be reshaped and edited like any other. Program Split:  Choose from a variety of patterns to add texture to your designs, or create your own.  Try using the customer’s logo as shown here, and add interest to the background
