PhotoStitch Techniques
Throughout history, embroidered tapestry has depicted treasured memories, commemorated special people or places, and enriched our lives.
In today's world of high-speed embroidery machines, we have a fabulous option for turning any style of artwork into stitches. The PhotoStitch wizard/assistant in the PREMIER+™ 2 ULTRA System transforms images into stitches with multiple style options.
From the PREMIER+™ 2 Embroidery module/application in the PREMIER+™ 2 EXTRA or ULTRA system, the PhotoStitch feature offers designs sized to the current hoop, or to a rectangular box you specify within the current design area.
Once you've selected the targeted design area, the fun begins.
TIP: Embroidery Types pictured below are from the PREMIER+™ 2 ULTRA system.
Choose from five types of PhotoStitch in PREMIER+™ 2 ULTRA. Each creates a unique look for the embroidery.
 |
Color PhotoStitch renders a photo to stitches in full color, in your choice of threads. |
 |
For vintage or heirloom appeal, try the Sepia PhotoStitch. Images are rendered into soft sepia tones of browns, creams, and ivory tones. |
 |
For a dramatic appeal, use Monochrome PhotoStitch to design in thread colors of black, white and greys. |
 |
For a special, tapestry texture, try out Color Tile PhotoStitch Embroidery. |
 |
Use Linear PhotoStitch Embroidery to design very special and striking primitive looks with simple line and zig-zag stitching. |
Handy editing tools help you erase background areas, adjust the image by cropping, set a targeted size, and more.
Check out Inspiration for some creative ideas for using different types of pictures to produce some unique looks with PhotoStitch!
TIP: The PREMIER+™ 2 EXTRA package contains the Linear PhotoStitch feature. Packages below PREMIER+™ 2 EXTRA do not contain the PhotoStitch feature.
