Let’s discuss how to use Embrilliance essentials for applique embroidery.

Applique Designs

These designs are essential in embroidery as they provide more detail and depth to embroidery projects. Due to more incorporated stitches, these designs allow more customization. Simple embroidery thread cannot introduce patterns and colours into your designs. Although Embrilliance essentials is not a digitizing software its cool and unique features allow it to work with applique efficiently.

Working With Applique In Embrilliance Essentials

Let’s Learn together how you can use Essentials to label your applique design, remove bulky stitches, assign a fabric colour, and save cut files.

Procedure

The next step is to tell the software that you are working with an applique file after you have imported it. You can see the three layers attached to the file in the object pane, which is usually three different colours representing position, material and finishing stitch.

Step 01- Stitch Order

To let the software know that you are working with applique, you have to assign the proper stitch border. The second tab at the top labelled applique allows you to select the position you want to work in.

Step 02- Remove Hidden Stitches 

If you have a lot of images in one hoop, you need to overlap them. Once you have labelled each applique you can remove the hidden stitches from the objects. To remove the hidden stitches, you will need to label each layer as a position and material stitch. There is a button that you can use to remove hidden stitches, but you have to label your layers correctly and save your design.

Step 03-Fabric Simulation

You can introduce so much variety through colours and prints of fabric while working with appliques. Embrilliance Essentials makes it easy to match up your applique fabric and your thread colour and it can be done by adding a fabric simulation. If you want to use a themed fabric, you will not be able to upload the pattern, but you can choose a similar colour. You can add a fabric simulation by labelling the applique position layer.

Step 04- Save Applique Files

The feature to save an applique file as an SVG cut file can be used in other design software. These features can be used to create the same design on multiple surfaces. For this purpose, click the thread colour to open the toolbox and select the applique tab once you have the design. You can save the file as you want.
