Why Would You Need Pre-Design?
Simply said because you don't want to spend hours on cleaning bitmaps...
When you start creating your own embroidery designs you will discover that not every type of image will work in your digitizing program and you probably have spent hours already cleaning up bitmaps before you can start with the actual embroidery digitizing work! Well, that is where Pre-Design comes in: you can open a background image of any quality (good, bad, ugly), then use the Line and Curve tools to draw the lines you want in your embroidery. Edit the drawing and export. The result: nice smooth clean lines of even width, with solid colors, which will work like a charm in your embroidery digitizing program.
Pre-Design is a great time saver, to prepare your own artwork for any brand of embroidery digitizing program.
You Can't Draw! With Pre-Design you Can.
You will be surprised how easy it is to draw with the few drawing tools in Pre-Design! It really is a matter of clicking from point to point to draw the object and double-click to finish. Edit the lines by selecting and moving points. Then save, and export to turn the drawing into a perfect quality bitmap (solid colors, smooth line art, vector emf-file, PEM-file or jpeg file).
The program is easy to use. It doesn't have all the brush-strokes, blur, drop shadow, anti-alias and other fancy effects that only complicate a program and make it so hard to use for us embroiderers, who in fact only need to draw clean lines, with even thickness everywhere.
