But here is one more step that I like to do to make it easier for me on the stitchout on something like this. Now, at this point you could save the design and stitch it out. One more thing I like to do to make sure it's all centered is hold CTRL and press "A" (this will select all) then click the "Center" icon again, this will center your entire design: Then do the same for the last letter, so that your monogram is now a circle. I like to, after I've eyeballed it, click on the icon "Center Vertically" and Embird will do that for you. Now click, hold and drag one of the side letters and 'eyeball' it to where it needs to be. There, now your middle letter is centered. Find the icon (you can 'hoover' over them and see the description) called "Center" and click on it.
On the left side of the screen there are several icons that go horizontally down the page. Next you will center that letter by having Embird center it for you. Now, click on your middle letter and you will see a 'box' around it. Now do the same for the next two - drag them off the center also, making all three of them separated from each other. Start by clicking on the top letter, hold your mouse on it and drag it out of the way. Now you are getting there! All that is left is to arrange the letters in a circle and make sure your design is centered. Quite a timesaver! Now with all three letters your screen should look something like this, depending on which letters you merged: Just click on the first letter, hold down the CTRL key and click on the second letter, then while still holding the CTRL key select the third letter and double click on that third letter and poof! Now you've added all three in one step. If you are feeling confident in your Embird skills you can combine all three in one step. Click File, Merge, and select the middle letter, and repeat for the right letter. Now repeat the same steps to add in the middle and right letters of the monogram. The letter will default to the center, but just leave it there for now and we'll move it later. Now your Embird screen will look like this: (Letters are named with either l, m or r in front of the letter). So go to your format subfolder, then select your desired left letter and double click on it. First we will bring in the Left letter in the monogram.
Each folder of the Circle Alpha contains Satin and Zig Zag, then then subfolders for all formats, then all letters of the alphabet in Left, Center and Right.
Find the folder on your hard drive with the Circle Alpha, and open the folder of the size that you wish to use.
It will look like this.Ĭlick the Merge shortcut icon on the top, or click File Merge.Ī window will appear so that you can choose your file to merge.
Digitizing with embird software#
First of all open the Embird software and you want to be in Editor. By the way I am not associated with the makers of Embird in any way and do not earn a commission! The keyboard fonts are as low as $12 each (depending on what site you purchase from) but the great thing about them is you don't have to bring in one letter at a time, you can type your name or phrase or whatever, and it generates all the letters at once, and you can squeeze and manipulate the letters without distorting the stitches. Also one nice thing about Embird is you can add elements after, like keyboard fonts, Font Engine, Digitizing and more. I love Embird and couldn't live without it! Having said that, it is the only embroidery software I have used, so there may be others that are just as good but I just haven't tried them. Please don't let the length of this scare you.it is super simple and really just a few steps.įirst of all, some thoughts about Embird. I will attempt to walk you through doing this with Embird, and you may find it helpful even if you use a different software for combining your designs.
