Picture This in Stitches – Auto Digitizing with BERNINA V9

Description:

Turn your favorite photos and artwork into embroidery with just a few clicks. In this BERNINA V9 software class, you’ll explore the Auto-Digitize toolbox along with the Color PhotoStitch and PhotoSnap tools to see how the software converts images into stitch-ready designs.

Learn how to choose and prepare images, control color and detail levels, and tweak results so your stitched designs look crisp rather than “blobby.” Along the way, you’ll experiment with realistic multi-colored photo effects and bold single-color line art, leaving class with custom designs you can send straight to your embroidery machine.

Supply list is below and a 20% is available for any necessary supplies after you have registered for class.

No prior embroidery experience required, though basic knowledge of machine operation is helpful. Don't forget to bring your enthusiasm!

Special Software Note:

• This class is open to students with BERNINA’s V9 Creator or DesignerPlus software.
• Remember to bring your laptop with the software fully installed.  Test ALL software functions, not just opening the program. Don't forget your mouse, mouse pad, and computer power cord.
• Action Required: You must open and fully test your software at home before arriving to class. This is critical because software support will not be available in the classroom, and there is no time in class to install or update the software.
• Any technical difficulties with software installation or functionality need to be resolved in advance.
• Taking the time now to verify everything works properly will save you frustration later and help us dive straight into the exciting curriculum we have planned.
• Bring a notepad and pen/pencil.
