Studio allows user to import
EMF, WMF and CMX vector graphic from Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator,
Zoner Draw, Paint Shop Pro, Pre-Design
and other graphics programs and convert in into embroidery design
without redrawing it. This function is available only to
owners of Font Engine plug-in.

Unlike the other Studio tools,
which are based on the precise manual placement of the nodes, curves and
lines, Freehand tool allows to draw most of Studio objects with a free hand.

Object
Parameters |
|
|
Each object has
adjustable creative and technical parameters such as stitch density,
random broadening, fill pattern, color, type of underlay,
etc., to allow user create special effects and adjust design for sewing
on a particular fabric.

Scalable
Designs |
|
|
Studio allows user to save designs in compact
vector EOF format that was developed for sending scalable designs
via Internet. Receiver can open EOF file in basic Embird program, (even
in the free, unregistered version) and resize it without loss of quality.

Studio is an optional plug-in program for Embird. It must be downloaded as a separate file and
installed (not just copied) into Embird. Embird 2008 is required for
Studio trial and/or purchase. Upgrade from previous versions of Studio to version 5.0 is free
of charge.
Sfumato Stitch
allows easy and fast creation of
multicolored portraits and other designs from photos.
User imports photo into
the background of the working area and then draws Sfumato objects on top of the photo. Just like other objects in the
Studio, Sfumato objects have vector boundaries that are
automatically filled with stitches. Each Sfumato object can have
1-5 shades of its 'basic color'. Sfumato objects can have openings
and carvings, just like the fill objects in the Studio. Objects are filled with stitches so that thread
forms looser or heavier meanders to create shading effects while
fabric shows through stitches.
New Sfumato is integrated into Studio
(no separate download needed).
Because of its vector-based approach, it is supposed to enable
user to create Sfumato portraits and designs several times faster
than with the previous version.
Sfumato Stitch
registration fee is
US
$ 90.
This price does NOT include Digitizing Tools registration
fee. Upgrade from previous versions of Sfumato is free of charge.
Both versions of Sfumato can be used on the same computer. It is not necessary to purchase Digitizing Tools.

Digitizing
Tools
allow user to
digitize scalable embroidery designs up to 60 x 60 centimeters (23.6 x 23.6") large.Design is digitized so that user creates outline (vector)
objects either on a blank background or on an image (template). When
finished, design is compiled into stitches and put into Embird Editor for final adjustment
and save in desired embroidery format.
Digitizing Tools
registration fee is
US $ 150
This fee does NOT include Sfumato
Stitch plug-in.

Designs are created in a vector form using lines and curves. Picture can be
imported as a template into background of working area.
To store designs,
Studio uses its own file format with all objects, parameters, stitches and background image stored in a single file
(*.eof). |
 |
Objects
such as
Fill, Sfumato*, Carving, Column, Column with pattern, Outline, Connection,
Appliqué and Manual Stitches are available. Fill and
Sfumato objects
can have openings. Carving objects can be used to add unique
texture to fills and columns. Objects can be moved, rotated, skewed and
scaled without loss of quality.
* Sfumato 4.0 is an optional part of Studio.
It must be purchased separately. |

New!
Trace tool allows
to convert bitmap image (raster image) to vector design without
redrawing the image manualy. Trace tool works in a several steps: 1.
selection of consistently coloured area (pixels of raster image) with
magic wand, 2. turnig of selected raster areas into vector objects, 3.
filling vector objects with stitches. It is possible to create outline,
column, fill, sfumato and carving objects. Selection
options allow to change the way of how the Trace tool behaves by
each selection. It is possible to define whether to make new
selection and discard any existing selection or add objects of
different color to selection, select non-contiguous areas of the same
color at once, subtract object from selection or intersect
the object from selection.More

Interactive
lettering
allows to insert and edit text directly in the work area of Studio. Text
can be created with Font Engine (True Type and
Open Type fonts) or with pre-digitized Alphabets. Lettering supports multiline
text and adjustable text baselines. Predefined baselines include circle, lines
and spirals. All baselines can be transformed (moved, scaled, rotated and
slanted) and/or as edited node-by-node. Whole text or individual characters can
be moved, scaled, rotated and slanted as well. Additional controls allow to
adjust spacing of characters, words and lines and overall size of the text.

Envelope Tool
allows to deform selected
object(s) in the work area of Studio with use of adjustable boundary. Options like predefined shape, type of horizontal and vertical
edges and symmetry options are available from panel at the right side of
the screen.

 |
New!
Fills with multiple motifs. Studio
allows to use several motifs within a single fill. Setting of desired
number of rows and columns defines a grid of motifs that will be used to
fill the object. Multiple motifs can be combined with all options
available for single motif like scale, shift, fill angle, wave and gradient.
|
 |
New!
Integrated Sew Simulator in Studio
allows to simulate sewing of whole design or just selection in a normal, 3D or flat view mode.
Color bar at top of the screen helps to
'rewind' simulation forward and backward. It is possible to set negative
speed for simulation, which means that stitches gradually disapear.
|
 |
| Freehand
tool allows to create realistic fur or
shading effects as well as sketch drawings with mouse or digitizing tablet
within a few minutes. It works like a painting tool. Result, however, is an
embroidery design that can include various embroidery styles like fills,
columns, sfumato objects, carvings and outlines as well as some new stitch
styles like pressure-sensitive columns. |
 |
| Object Inspector window
is available for fast and easy management of objects. User
can change the color of object or its order by simple
drag-and-drop operation. Objects can be grouped to
make manipulations easier. Icons in Object Inspector indicate
color changes, trims, object type and visibility. |
 |
| To
make digitized objects and stitches more visible on the background, user can adjust brightness, contrast, gamma correction, colors
balance and saturation of the background image. There are also tools for
rotation, cropping and resizing of the background image. |
 |
| Digitizing
Tools create not only cover stitches for each object, but also
various types of underlay: center walk, edge walk, and
zig-zag underlay to stabilize
embroidered objects. |
 |
| Digitizing
Tools perform many editing operations automatically. Connection paths
are rearranged when user moves objects, sharp corners of columns are
automatically split or folded when
converted to stitches, fill overlays are adjusted according
to size of object. |
