No more mistakes!
The product image is saved with the embroidery file, so next time the design is opened, your production staff will see exactly where to stitch it.

Productivity features
​
Styles
Styles are a huge time saver. Store favourite stitch settings as a style and instantly apply them to other objects.
​
Make properties current / Apply current properties
Once you’ve used this feature, you’ll be lost without it!
Click on an object to record its stitch properties, such as underlay, connector settings, stitch type, spacing, pull compensation etc. Now you can apply those properties to another object with a single click.
Once recorded those settings can be used for all concurrent objects saving you a ton of time retyping their values.
​
Smooth Nodes
Auto-Converting graphics to embroidery objects often results in hundreds of unwanted nodes. This feature automatically cleans up the outlines and reduces the file size.
​
Branching
Select a group of touching embroidery objects and apply Branching to resequence them without any trims.
​
Backtrack and Repeat
Save time punching an outline twice by using backtrack and repeat. It duplicates the outline and stitches it either clockwise or reverse.
Shaping Tools
​Previously a £343 option and now standard in e4 Designing. The Shaping Tools feature is a necessity for production digitising.
Automatically generate appliqué files
​
Appliqué typically consists of five steps
-
Run stitch outline to use as a guide for positioning the fabric
-
Frame out so the fabric can be stuck in position
-
Tack down outline to secure the fabric
-
Underlay
-
Satin border
The five steps have been automated into one function called Auto Appliqué. Simply draw the applique outline and the software will do the rest. It will even generate a preview so your customer can see exactly how their design is going to look.
​
Partial Appliqué
Appliqué satin borders look bulky where they overlap. Partial Appliqué will automatically remove the borders so they won’t be stitched.
Easy colour proofing
​
The Colour Wheel
If you’ve ever had to proof designs in different colourways then you know how long it takes. We’ve made this quick in EmbroideryStudio Digital Edition Designing with the Colour Wheel function.
​
How it works
Open a design and rotate the arms on the colour wheel. The design changes colour in real time.
​
Once you’re happy with the result, click the “Match All Threads” button and the software will map the colours to your favourite thread chart.
​
Want to show variations based on the current colour palette?
You can do that with the “cycle used colours” feature. Each click rotates the colour order one at a time..
