PED11 Tutorial - bird of peace
« on: January 18, 2021, 00:13:52 AM »
On page 53 of the manual is a chapter -applying gradation to a vector image.

The image they use is of two doves within a heart.

After spending ages looking for this image in the files, it dawned on me that maybe I am expected to create my own design, so the reason I can’t find it is because it doesn’t exist yet.

I’m wondering if anyone can confirm this for me - or is it really there, just hiding from me?

Thanks

No idea Im afraid hon ... you have the swanky full fat version of PE Design ... you need @Ohsewsimple  or @Acorn  or someone else more versed than I in such things.

Not me, she doesn't!  I looked at the embroidery design software, translated the cost into fabric and thread, and decided I could manage happily with other people's designs and a bigger stash!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Don’t have that software.   But does it tell you to open the design or vector image from anywhere?

Thanks for responses.  I came back to it today and made up an Inkscape picture and saved it as an . svg file, then imported it to the embroidery program. It seems to have worked that way.

I haven’t sewn it out yet though. I’m not that brave.

I use PED10, i am assuming you are in Design Centre. In PED10 you click on open file which brings a new box up.
I then go to c drive - program files (x86) - Brother - PE. 10 - Clip art - Vector images.
Hope this helps

I’ve done it and stitched it out, but I think I need to go back and do it again. I don’t think the ‘frilly’ bits should be around the bird outlines.

Once again, thank you.

That is quite stunning!

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Well done, look forward to seeing more of your work.
Did you get the full instruction book (400 pages) with your softwear or just the very abridged version.
If you want the full book you can download it from here

I got this book, which although chunky, only has 72 pages in English. The rest is the same stuff in other languages.

I’ll have a look at your link.
