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.

Thanks Sue. I am crazy busy right now and trying to
get my first quilt done too. I saved your tip so when I can do Mops Tutorial and get into Embird.
Very preety.

They are lovely!!!!! Well done! Thanks for sharing this tip. Hugs, Lidia
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).

I'm using Embird.
The flower would, indeed, make a beautiful biscornu.
Congratulations on your progress.

I'll admit to my ignorance--what is a biscornu?

I didn't know either so I searched it. Its a multisided pincusion. http://own-two-hands.livejournal.com/4186.html
Correct! I have made the design into one and will post a picture later today.
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.
