Carolyn's new tutorial has been created for the ExpressDesign Wizard found in both the 4D Embroidery Extra and in the 4D Design Creator module.
It is suitable for both Pfaff and Husqvarna Versions of 4D Embroidery Extra.
This is a DVD version of the
ExpressDesign Wizard downloadable tutorial. It overlaps some of the same information as in the tutorial but with different designs. In this DVD the emphasis is on editing the initial image using Microsoft Paint to ensure the image will digitize easily in the ExpressDesign Wizard.
Several examples are used where the original image needs to be considerably reworked so that the image will digitize successfully.
A simple shape is digitized using the different fabric settings so that you can see the effects that each setting will create.
If you already have the downloadable text tutorial on the ExpressDesign Wizard this DVD will complement it and extend your knowledge of this module of 4D Embroidery Extra or 4D Design Creator.
