Do you know what's lurking under that embroidery design you just downloaded? Why should you care? Because just like a book, you can't judge the quality by the cover.

The real secret to getting consistently great embroidery every time is knowing how designs affect the results. And you can't tell that by looking at a printed version of the design. To really find out what makes a design tick, you need to look under the hood.

What are you looking for? Stitches that are appropriate for the design and the fabric on which you are sewing. That includes:

  • Underlay that properly supports the design just as your skeleton supports your body
  • Density that provides adequate coverage without excess bulk
  • Stitches that are neither too long nor too short
  • Pathing that is thoughtful and maximizes registration
  • Intelligent use of colors to minimize unnecessary repeats while still maximizing registration

How do you learn that? From an experienced digitizer. Do you have to learn to digitize first? Absolutely not!

Using simple tools in software, you can discover a lot more information about the design than just the stitch count, color sequence, and dimensions. With just a little experience, you'll soon be able to tell whether a design is a keeper, a fixer upper, or should take a permanent trip to the digital trash. Embroidery designs are not like fine wine; they will not get better with age!

If you're ready to take your embroidery to the next level, then let Anatomy of a Design: How to Think Like a Digitizer & Become a Better Embroiderer be your guide.

In this fully illustrated e-book, Lindee Goodall takes you step by step through how a design is constructed and why what you see on the screen can be radically different from the sewn version. Three embedded videos show you "virtual sewing" to demonstrated what to look for in a design before you sew. You've been watching designs sew on the machine since you got it, why not watch on screen and become aware of any potential issues? You'll learn common trouble spots, how to gauge if a design can be scaled (tip: it's not about the software!) and why you shouldn't color-sort professionally digitized designs.

You've invested a lot in your machine and design library. Why not make the most of it?
