Embrilliance Stitch Artist Level 2 Software

WHO SHOULD USE STITCHARTIST LEVEL 2?

StitchArtist Level 2 is for hobbyists and professionals who want to create more sophisticated designs like logos, mascots, custom text treatments, and detailed designs of all styles.

Level 2 is great for those who want to jump directly into fully custom, graphical design work, users of Level 1 who are looking for more control over their stitches, and those with existing design and digitizing skills. With the addition of Bezier drawing, left-right, and sided column input, users of vector drawing software and classic embroidery digitizing software alike will find familiar methods for creating design elements.

StitchArtist Level 2 is designed for production and skills training, including a wide cross-section of embroidery stitch types and properties with enough freedom and control to create virtually any design. If you are looking to use satin stitches to their fullest extent, StitchArtist 2 is for you.

Typical Level 2 projects include: traditional embroidery designs, commercial logos, team sports mascots, custom text / logotypes, patches, stock designs meant for resale design collections, in-the-hoop designs like custom-shaped keyfobs, and simple puffy foam objects using our automated 3D foam underlay.

Level 2 gives you complete control in drawing objects and setting stitch angles.

This Product is a ‘Full Version’

HOW DO I USE IT?

StitchArtist is a program to create machine embroidery designs from scratch.

Draw, use the built-in shapes, import vector/cutting files and edit the shapes for embroidery, or bring in a picture (such as .jpg), then ‘draw with stitches’ over the artwork, using it as a guide.

You control the shapes, sizes, set the stitching properties, assign stitch angles by adding inclination lines, and StitchArtist generates the actual stitches.

Those familiar with vector drawing will feel very comfortable with StitchArtist, but the easy ‘draw with points’ spline tool makes creating shapes easy to learn for everyone.

When assigning stitches to shapes, you have freedom to change your mind at any time. You can assign any shape a new stitch type easily.

EASIER EDITING AND CREATION

Creating designs often requires the ability to edit shapes. StitchArtist has features that make object creation and editing easy:

• Stitch generation is instant and automatic.
• No mode changes for selection, editing, coloring, moving, sizing, rotating or adjusting properties.
• You can work in any number of display modes such as 3D. You aren’t locked to a specific mode during any process.
• Hundreds of editable vector shapes are included. Several geometric shapes are easily created and altered with the automated shape tool.
• Perfect curves are 3 clicks away with the 3 point arc tool.
• Users unfamiliar with Bezier curves can use a simulated spline (draw with points) system that’s easier to learn and teach.

YOU CAN DO THIS!

All you need is a project to get started on and a willingness to try. Even master digitizers start by creating simple shapes, and learning about stitches and settings by reaching a little further with every piece they make. If you want to reach further and make something special, StitchArtist level 2 has both the simple tools to get you started and the professional power to help you grow.

It’s one reason that StitchArtist has the largest online community of any design creation or digitizing tool. People love to help each other figure out new ways to use stitches, work out the best way to draw objects, discuss the best ways to digitize for a specific garment or object, and simply delight in how the community members grow in their craft!

Level 2 has all the ease of Level 1, but with increased control over the way stitches are generated and a host of tools that professional digitizers know and love. With Level 2, you can build your experience and have all the tools you need for professional, production-worthy designs.

Upgrade on your Schedule

Ready for the top of the line? StitchArtist level 3 is available complete or as an upgrade, and it never costs more to take the upgrade route than it does to buy level 3 at the outset. Level 2 users who master the its tools and those familiar with vector drawing and design like level 3’s additional drawing and shaping tools, while stock design sellers who want quick, all-format stitch-file savings, and those who want to create their own custom motifs, patterns, and object-based fonts upgrade to get professional custom tools to help them quickly serve customers and publish professional assets for the Embrilliance community.

Welcome to StitchArtist!

StitchArtist is embroidery design-creation software. It is easy-to-use and designed for everyone: New embroiderers, artists, graphics professionals, and seasoned apparel decorators. This is accomplished with product levels. As the level goes up, additional tools and control are added. Created with education in mind, StitchArtist’s level upgrades allow you to grow the software as you learn to take more control over your embroidery.

The process of design creation, commonly called ‘digitizing’, generally requires a skilled person using a specialized tool. StitchArtist is that tool, but created specifically to take the traditional difficulty out of the process so users can concentrate on design and creativity.

In a radical departure from the typical digitizing interface, StitchArtist uses a single mode to draw, set stitches, size, edit, rotate, sequence, and set properties of design objects. It is easy and intuitive. There is built-in help that replicates the printable .PDF manuals (download at any time), very active social communities, and of course, the award-winning Embrilliance support system.

Embrilliance creates tools that people love to use. We put you in control, and use automation only where appropriate. This is how the best designs are made.

Given the easy-to-use genius of StitchArtist, it’s easy to think it is an automated digitzing tool. It is not. StitchArtist is not a photo-to-stitch tool or an auto-digitizing program. Such things are sold but do not create nice embroidery. There is no such thing as ‘conversion’ from an image to an embroidery design. It takes a human being with an eye for stitch types, but no real artistic skill is required. Can you trace? Can you click your mouse or tap your pen? You have all the skill you need to start.

StitchArtist is part of the Embrilliance Platform, sharing one program with our other titles like Essentials and Enthusiast. This means that as you add titles, your features grow without having to switch between programs! Embrilliance products are modular: You do not “Need another program first.” You can use only StitchArtist. If you have other titles, they work together seamlessly to offer incredible ability in a single interface.

StitchArtist is a design creation tool, which means it does not manipulate existing designs. Our other products, like Essentials, handle those tasks. Whether you want to create or embellish designs for hobby, friends, sale or full professional use, StitchArtist is for you.

Remember, as part of the Embrilliance Platform, one purchase gets you both Windows and Mac versions, no activations, no dongles, and the ability to use it on as many computers as you own!
