I am designing a new clothing line and want to do a more "hand-embroidered look". To me that means no fill stitches, more satin stitches, and less perfect looking stitches. Does anyone out there have any other ideas or suggestions. Does any digitizer out there specialize in this look? Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
The first step may be to create your artwork like you want it sewn. Then any digitizer can recreate that in the form of stitches.
If you have Corel, they have a free plug in that will turn the vector art into stitched art. You can play around with your artwork until you get it to look like you want stitched.
Thanks, I do use Corel and will see if I can figure that out. I use ver. 12, is this feature in my version? I see you are in SA. I'm in Austin and looking for a contract embroiderer to work with. Interested?

The thread you use can help with the hand embroidered look. Robison-Anton has a cotton machine embroidery thread that gives the design a hand embroidered look. And Madeira has a new poly thread with a matte finish that might work well also to give the hand embroidered look.
