Digitizing for Schiffli

Digitizing Schiffli designs in EmbroideryStudio is very similar to digitizing multihead designs. The major differences are:

Handling of design repeats

Handling pattern arrangements

Handling of start and end jumps

Inserting Tension and Speed Changes in the middle of stitching sequences

Handling of borer operations

Stitching elaborate sequences for certain fills.

You should first become familiar with general EmbroideryStudio usage before studying the Schiffli-specific usage. EmbroideryStudio has a certain philosophy but once you understand the logic of the software, similarities between individual functions become obvious. For an essential introduction to EmbroideryStudio software concepts, refer to the EmbroideryStudio Reference Manual.

This section covers the key issues for Schiffli digitizers. It also covers Schiffli boring techniques as well as the creation of Schiffli split stitch effects.
