Introducing Embroidery i2 for Adobe® Illustrator® Editing power Slice satin stitches without slicing the original outline with the virtual slice tool. This fantastic feature allows you to properly direction the satin stitches without altering the shape. Edit beads easily- whether you're working with start stop beads, direction beads or the beads that control the slice lines – you have complete control over stitch placement. Tell the angle lines where you want them to go- simply drag the lines to the new location, and the stitches will obey your command. I2 gives you all the editing power you need to make beautiful designs run perfectly on the embroidery machine. Merge embroidery designs with lettering Adding text to existing designs is a great way to personalize your embroidery projects. With over 125 specially digitized embroidery fonts included in Embroidery i2 , plus hundreds of TTFs that can be converted quickly into any stitch type, including satin stitches, you are limited only by your imagination. Go forth and create... Draw your shapes and apply any stitch you like Fills and more fi lls Fill stitches cover large areas with textured patterns, keeping the overall stitch count (and cost) low. Often chosen for their textures- they can mimic animal fur, snake skin, paved roads, brickwork, even the 3D texture of a pineapple, fi lls are very important to embroidery. We give you over 22 standard fi lls, 135 carved fi lls and over 150 programmed fi lls so you can create unique textures with thread. Draw in Illustrator® like you normally would, and turn the drawing into shiny satin stitches that catch the light, or apply a textured fi ll so rich you can't wait to run your hand over it. Or, open an existing vector fi le and assign stitches to quickly create a beautiful embroidery design. Converting a non-vector fi le to embroidery is also possible: create vectors by tracing manually or automatically over the shape. Then, apply stitches: Steil, Satin, Complex Fill, Cross Stitch, Runs, Programmed Runs and fi lls, Carved fi lls and more.. to create amazing embroidery. Change your mind as often as you'd like, experimenting with the diff erent stitch types till you have just what you want.
