Digitize sequin drops with fixings

Use Sequin > Manual Sequin to digitize individual sequins.

ManualSequins.pngThe Manual Sequin input method allows you individual control over sequin placement and fixing stitches. Create decorative outlines and patterns manually using sequins from the selection list. To add a sequin to the stitching sequence, simply drop it onto the design and secure it with manual stitches. Manual sequin stitching is a difficult digitizing skill to master and you need to plan the stitching sequence carefully in order to minimize unnecessary stitches. Experiment with your machine and stitch length and spacing settings to achieve the desired result.

Note: Sequin mode is supported in Schiffli, Tajima, Barudan and ZSK embroidery machine formats. Before you can use Sequin mode, you must select a machine format that supports it. Similarly, before you can use Twin-Sequin mode, you must select a suitable machine format.

Three stitches in the shape of a ‘Y’ are generally used. The needle points of each stitch must be placed precisely to ensure that sequins are not pierced by the needle when stitching.
