May 31, 2012 - Art and Stitch Workshop - a Jump Start into Digitizing
In this hands-on digitizing class (bring your laptop) for longarmers with a computerized system you will learn how to create beautiful, creative patterns and become a real artist in the Art and Stitch digitizing program, specially developed for longarm quilting.
Learn how to make beautiful patterns, fill shapes with motifs, cross hatching, wave fills, autostipple, creative background fillers.
Use those fills inside or around a design, or turn shapes into applique.
Learn how to draw from scratch or to trace any image. Art and Stitch will work with all major quilt and/or embroidery formats. We will show you that creating artwork for quilting is within reach, even if you think you can't draw!
So let us surprise you! For extensive details of Art & Stitch browse this website.
