Sharing my latest digitising discoveries.

Thanks to some help from Martine, I have learned that if you draw a shape (rather than a line) and click on "motif" in the window on the right of the screen, you can choose lacy filling stitches in a similar way to the fancy outlines. These look so much like Elizabethan Blackwork that I was inspired to try lots of designs. I hope to be able to test stich these two later today. I thought the flower could be a nice biscornu.

Nice work. I don't think I have this feature on my DigiPro2. I'll have to take a look. I don't use my software much for digitizing with so many good freebies. I mostly use it for editing, splitting or combining designs. But these look easy and fun. Thanks for sharing.

The flower would, indeed, make a beautiful biscornu.
Congratulations on your progress.

Fun to make samplers of the motif stitches, isn't it. This looks very pretty.

May I suggest to everyone that you copy the outlines and fills you make as well as eof's you put in the Library section of EDstudio to a file OUTSIDE Embird.

Whenever you install an update you loose the added files - so I keep a 'useful bits' file somewhere else where I keep the copies.
This morning I reinstalled Embird as Clipimage gave an error message and was I glad I had those copies! (Still get the error message).
