Though we’ve enjoyed walking you through the history of how Embrilliance changed the way embroidery fonts are used and sold, we think that you need to s ee the super powers of native-object based fonts for yourself to know just how much their stitch types and textures can do to elevate your next embroidery project. Will be incorporating some of these patterns in my future projects for sure.” Seeing may be Believing, but Stitching is Understanding Nice to see them in a straight line and a curve too. posted to Facebook “It was fun watching the patterns appear before my eyes as I watched the stitch out. Thanks to all that sent photos of their stitch outs!Īnd even photos of stitch outs can’t fully show the effect of these patterns! As Christene T. We think you’ll agree that they make a stunning display of what we can create even with the simplest block font and native stitch controls. Our users returned quite a few photos that do these amazing textures justice. We created this sample filled with holiday ‘Ho Ho Ho’ and posted it to the Brilliant Embrilliance Group on Facebook. If your machine will support long satin stitches, you can even choose to over ride the auto fill option by unchecking it and choosing None from the fill type pull-down menu.Īs any seasoned embroiderer will know, the digital preview version of stitch patterns can’t fully capture the fullness of the textures you see when they are stitched out. Uncheck Auto Fill and your selected pattern will appear on your lettering even if none of the stitches exceed the satin length limit.

If you like to play with textures, the Fill pull-down menu has 18 different patterns plus the Length Limit option to choose from. There are a host of options you can control, available under the Stitch tab, seen in the lower right of the program window whenever you select a lettering object featuring a native font. Technical changes like this are just the beginning of what native fonts can do! When you enlarge a native font, you’ll notice that once the satin stitches exceed a certain width, the stitch pattern automatically changes to a tatami fill, making sure you don’t end up with a loose, loopy finish. You may have already seen the difference using our basic block font in any platform program.
Whether you are using the native fonts from Essentials, Font Collection1, Font Collection 2, the satin-stitch fonts in our themed Christmas and Romance collections, the fun fonts and functional small fonts made for Merrowly Patches, or native fonts created by StitchArtist level 3 digitizers, their stitches will be dynamically generated from the settings you choose. What does this mean for Embrilliance’s satin stitch native fonts? It means that creating with them just got more useful and a lot more interesting. This ability is also what lets us alter the ‘formula’ in native designs and native fonts! With native objects, however, the platform can change parameters and repopulate the StitchArtist objects with stitches that follow the ‘formula’ of settings embedded in the original digitizing. The processor also can’t change the type of underlay for an element or change its fill pattern. For straight-stitch detail lines or specialty patterns like motifs, the processor can’t add more motif patterns or lines to the fill out the enlarged design area.
The stitch processor easily adds stitches to retain the density of satin or fill stitches, but doesn’t change the style or format of these stitches. Looking at resized designs like those below helps to explain the difference. Native font processing doesn’t have to guess all stitches are completely regenerated according to your specified settings. Though this works very well, it remains a “best guess” based on patterns in the stitch file.
Resizing stitch-based fonts relies on the unique Embrilliance stitch processor analyzing letter designs and creating or removing stitches in a way that fits the present pattern. Stitch-based fonts are machine-format stitch files mapped to the keyboard, while native, object-based fonts contain the shapes and settings created by the original digitizer! Our native font shapes created in StitchArtist Level 3 let the Embrilliance platform alter their original parameters like fill type, density and underlay, regenerating stitches to fit the new size and settings selected. As powerful as our stitch-based fonts are, native fonts are notable for giving embroiderers even more control and customization than our processor adds to their stitch-based cousins.
