EmbroideryStudio e4 Designing

With EmbroideryStudio Bling you’re in complete control of where each stone drops. Place each stone individually—pinpointing its shape, size and placement.

Or, run a string of stones along a digitized line, or to fill areas with complex shapes (with or without holes). You’ve got full control of overlaps too. Bling Design removes them for you, ignores them, or highlights them for you to go through individually or as groups.

You can edit each stone—or a group of stones you select —for shape, size, color, even removal.

If you use cutting templates, Bling Design creates a single cutter file or separate files for each size stone and each color.

Wilcom software can read and write .YNG file format for Yongnam GemMaster v2.9 machines. Bling files can be sent directly to the CAMS machine.

When the right choice for the customer is direct digital printing, you can still give them the option for a rich embroidered look. It starts with our industry-standard TrueView—a realistic simulation view professional designers use to preview how their design will look when embroidered. That view includes “real” thread lines, shadows and highlights.

With Virtual Decoration, a special high resolution image of the TrueView simulation is what you print onto your fabric. (It’s useful for creating a range of effects, too).

The result is an inexpensive way to print Virtual Embroidery, taking price pressure off your real embroidery.

Shaping tools

When working with overlapping vector or embroidery objects, you can merge, trim or split them using the Shaping tools. All ‘shaped’ embroidery objects convert to Complex Fill or Fusion Fill. Vector objects remain as vector objects unless combined with embroidery objects. You have the option of preserving the source objects of shaping operations. You also have the option of adding overlaps to objects resulting from Flatten or Divide operations.

Remove Overlaps

When working with overlapping vector or embroidery objects, you can merge, trim or split them using the Shaping tools. You have the option of preserving the source objects of shaping operations. You also have the option of adding overlaps to objects resulting from Flatten or Divide operations.

Fill holes

Create new objects from boundaries in Complex Fill or Fusion Fill objects using the Fill Holes feature. This lets you fill holes formed by existing boundaries, without having to re-digitize the shape. You can choose to fill the hole precisely or offset it.

Close Object

Rather than straining to see the end of the path, use the Close Object commands to automatically finish the object using straight or curved points.

Kiosk is a user-friendly product that absolutely everyone can use! Made especially for retail outlets, the custom interface allows users to personalize their text designs simply and easily before sending them straight to the machine.

The best part is that the Kiosk system can be personalized and set up the way you want, with your preferred designs, garments, fonts, thread colors and machines.

No need to first convert a bitmap to a vector file, Auto-digitize bitmaps instantly from inside the CorelDRAW window!

You can also convert convert bitmaps into quality vector images and embroidery files from with Wilcom side of the software. AutoTrace turns it into a vector image—tracing both inside and outside boundaries, and detecting the holes as well. If the original design isn’t complex in either design or stitching, use Point & Stitch to take the digital artwork straight to an embroidery file. And if you’d prefer not to make any changes to the file at all but instead go direct to an embroidery file, you can do that too with SmartDesign.

Create lines, rectangles, circles and ellipticals, and then apply stitching, fills and other effects. Resize, rotate, group objects and more.

With a standard stylus pen and drawing tablet, or a mouse, use Freehand to trace over the simplest or the most detailed line drawing or photograph to produce a hand-drawn look to your design. If you want, draw your own designs directly on the screen. The open and closed objects you’ll create with Freehand lets you add effects to your existing designs, or create entirely new ones.

Freehand tools can be used in conjunction with all stitch types (with outline objects you’ll see a stitch simulation as you draw).

EmbroideryStudio lets you create a digitized embroidery alphabet that matches your customers’ corporate font, or design entirely new embroidery alphabets. It puts all the control and versatility of a professional type designer at your fingertips. Start with a True Type font, or design a font from scratch. Manage kerning and tracking. Customize the font—letter by letter or the entire alphabet—for stitch patterns, break angles, caps, overlaps, corners and more. Edit each curve, stroke and serif of any True Type font, until it’s exactly how you need it. And you can create different versions of a character—like a larger “C” and a kerned “w”—and save them in your Wilcom .ESA alphabet.

EmbroideryStudio digitize sequin designs ready for production for compatible sequins and double sequin machines. Contours and placement as well as type, color, size and hole size. Determine the desired distance (EmbroideryStudio automatically placed in a straw at the end of the path). Check sequin placement, automatic borders and much more. You can even convert existing vector templates directly.

EmbroideryStudio Chenille lets you create a wealth of intricate Chenille designs. Select from a wide set of stitch types basic, like moss and run stitching, or decorative, like Island Coil and Perpendicular Fills.
You can scale any design: EmbroideryStudio Chenille automatically recalculates and regenerates stitching. Control needle height, corners, stitch length, and more. Add Chenille lettering too, using EmbroideryStudio’s own optimized embroidery fonts, or any True Type font.

EmbroideryStudio Schiffli creates embroidery files for standard Schiffli and multihead machines. With EmbroideryStudio Schiffli, you control the design, the production and the Schiffli machine functions. Start with any bitmap or vector art from your digitizer or from existing files. Lacework is most often about repeated patterns: EmbroideryStudio Schiffli creates perfect repeat joins. Machine settings are handled automatically, which you can then fine tune. Optimized pattern arrangements minimize digitizing time and disk space. EmbroideryStudio supports the codes for Laesser machines, all Plauen (T10) and Saurer (T15) functions, and direct reading and writing with Hiraoka DAT, Saurer SAS formats and the high-resolution Wilcom ESS format.

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.

Cross stitching

Is a great technique for filling large areas with low stitch counts—it’s perfect for outlines, borders and appliqué. Control number of stitches per inch of fabric, stitch orientation, thread counts and more from a single menu. Travel runs are automatically stitched under and along the cross stitches so they’re not visible in the finished design.

Trapunto Effect

Manages travel runs on shadings, backgrounds and other areas where the absence of travels under the fill is more important than exact spacing. EmbroideryStudio Trapunto Effect forces travel runs to the edge of an object so they can’t be seen. Trapunto creates a range of effects when used in combination with the other shading tools.

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 Effects

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.

Spiral 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.

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.

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.

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.

PhotoFlash converts any photographic file into a 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 more.

Offsets Advanced gives you more power and creative options for highlighting and adding outlines and offset borders to your customer’s designs. This tool wraps borders precisely around the shape of any closed object, group of objects, or the entire design. In one action, you can create an outline, and multiple offset borders, each with their own offset, stitch effect, size and thread color. Edit each of them individually.

Choose border object types from Run, Triple Run, Input C (satin), Backstitch, Motif Run, Stem Stitch, Vector, Fusion Fill, Complex Fill (satin), and Complex Fill (tatami). Choose between several different methods of handling overlapping shapes for special cases.

EmbroideryStudio Team Names lets you take a single design, and then personalize it with names from a list: basically the same way word processing programs handle form letters. One file contains the logo. Another file contains the list of names. Team Names puts them together, ready for stitching. Save any layout you create as a Team Layout: reusing a layout, with different logos and lettering, makes design simpler and faster. You’ll cut hours off production time and costs too—especially for badges and emblems. Team Names Matrix will lay out all your names as a matrix, eliminating multiple color changes and manual frame movements on the embroidery machine.

Use Mirror-Merge to flip an object horizontally and vertically. Or, mirror objects on an axis you draw: Mirror-Merge puts the new object on the same angle as, and distance from, that axis. Reflection tools automatically create reflecting borders, and wrap reflections around a center point to create wreath or kaleidoscope effects. Mirror-Merge is also a great tool for creating multiple copies of a repeating design—like a badge. Just specify the number or rows and columns, and EmbroideryStudio creates them instantly.
