In fact, Larry Pike of You Can Digitize, explained it quite well in a previous post.) He said, “computers are smart – but not that smart!” You will never get great results if you let the computer do the digitizing for you. Because, (just as I had suspected), there are simply too many variables you need to consider and understand when digitizing. Shortly thereafter, I started hearing through my machine embroidery and digitizing forums that you never want to use the auto digitizing feature in your digitizing software. Back then, even with my limited experience digitizing with my Bernina software, I knew these settings were important. While he made it look super easy, he neglected to discuss setting stitch angles, density, pull compensation, adding an outline… anything above and beyond what the computer did by default. In a three minute video, he demonstrated you how to auto-digitize a (very, very simple) logo. I first heard about SewArt from a video where a guy claimed you could instantly convert a JPG to an embroidery design in SewArt. It automatically reduces the number of colors in an image and then provides you with tools to further simplify the image to make it “stitchable.” The problem with auto digitizing Preparing an image to become the basis for a machine embroidery design is exactly what SewArt is designed to do.

Therefore – what we are actually going to be doing here is creating an embroidery file based on a JPG image. It would not be possible to replicate every color with different colors of embroidery thread. Each one of these is comprised of millions of colors. Think of the pictures you have on your phone. To reproduce a JPG using an embroidery machine would actually be impossible. What I am about to show you is really not a conversion process. Want to remember this?
