Productivity improvements:
Check-out our video ‘An overview of Update e4.1’ for an overview of the key new and enhanced improvements to EmbroideryStudio e4.
Flexi-Motif Column Fill lets you digitize a shape with Column A or B, and the motif pattern will adapt automatically to your varying column shape saving you hours of manual digitizing.
We’ve made an improvement to Motif Run which now lets you specify a gradient motif size and spacing option that will smoothly decrease the size and spacing of your motif pattern from one end of the object to the next.
Even Density is a new fill type for Contour Fill. When applied, Even Density will force the contour run stitches to maintain a visually even density.
Offsets have always been a great and simple way to automatically create an outline around your shapes or design. It’s now even better with Open Offset. In a simple dialog box you can specify any number of offset outline objects including Run Stitch, Backstitch, Motif Run, plus Satin Column C which now also supports custom Column C satin widths.
String Stitch is a truly remarkable stitching method that originates from India. It’s known as ‘Paghadi’ and is commonly used to hold down small mirrors in intricate fabric designs.
String Stitch creates a series of overlapping “string art” style stitches and can be used for closed objects including holes, as well as open objects to create some interesting and intricate designs.
Sequin Pattern Stamp is a new creative way to build multi-color or multi-pattern sequin designs. Simply create a stamp then apply that stamp to a sequin fill object. Specify a new sequin color or shape for your stamped area and the stamped area will instantly change with the different color or shape sequin.
With Sequin Smooth Edges you can now change your row and column spacing from the current exact grid method to ‘Expand to fit’ or ‘Contract to fit’. The result is that the line of sequins will either expand or contract to fit perfectly within your shape and create a constant and smooth sequin edge.
Building a design from stock designs and clipart just got a whole lot easier.
The new Clipart Docker lets you browse any design folder and previews the embroidery design content. Search, then select and drag your design components on-screen. You are free to make any changes and create a new design.
Design Library lets you preview and locate designs in folders you have added to your embroidery library. Simply type your search query and matching designs will instantly appear. Designs are searched by file name but also by information fields such as tags, order information, customer order number or reference number plus many more For an even more accurate search result, you can limit your searching filters to options such as design title, file name, design status, order date and more.
EmbroideryStudio e4 Update e4.1 now supports the new Barudan FDR-3 U03 machine format. The FDR-3 file supports correct color thread display in its thumbnail in both Design Library AND on the Barudan machine to help eliminate costly production errors resulting from incorrect colors.
EmbroideryConnect is a new add-on Element that, when combined with a compatible WiFi USB Stick, will revolutionize how you transfer designs to your machine.
Simply enable the Element and plug in the compatible WiFi USB Stick into any USB supported embroidery machine.
You can send designs directly to any machine connected to this WiFi USB Stick from any computer on your network. The designs are stored on the USB stick ready for your machine to load. This new improvement alone could save you hours of managing and transferring designs to your machines every single day.
