Combining actual and virtual embroidery offers interesting possibilities. This technique can be used artistically or to add texture and depth to a printed design. It may also be used to lower costs for large production runs while maintaining the appearance of actual embroidery.

Typically, you will create a virtual embroidery print of an entire design and then overlay real embroidery on some parts of it. Alternatively, you may add embroidery elements such as lettering or team names over a printed design. It is even possible to embroider the whole design in white thread and print virtual embroidery over the top. To produce a design as real embroidery plus virtual embroidery, you have two options – via Wilcom Workspace or via CorelDRAW Graphics.
