Itinerary of the Art and Stitch Retreat

During this 2 day event you will follow these classes: 

A Jump Start into Advanced Digitizing

In this hands-on digitizing class you will learn how to draw. We will do some serious reshaping "Reshape to perfection". You will learn how to create beautiful patterns and use the various fill options in Art and Stitch.

Learn how to draw from scratch or to trace any image.

What's new in the latest version of Art and Stitch

A quick overview to get you started with the wonderful new functions.

Playtime! Power Copy EE

In this class you will see the wealth of possibilities with the new Power Copy EE function: EE stands for "Entry Exit" point. This Power Copy function makes it a breeze to create borders, P2P patterns, and to play with half square triangle designs.

Doodle away!

In this hands-on computer class we will show you how to make beautiful patterns with Art and Stitch, on the basis of doodles. We won't settle for the simple doodles: we want beautiful patterns. Start collecting photos as inspiration! Look into "zentangle-style" doodles. Many of those will be great to use as background fillers.

With Flying Feathers 

In this hands-on computer class you will learn how to digitize traditional feather designs in Art and Stitch.

You will learn how to draw feathers with the semi-automatic 3pt arc tool, how to create feather designs with the Magic Circle and playing with Transform Artwork > Unite. We will explore many different feather styles.

String of Pearls

In this class you will learn how to create a string of pearls in Art and Stitch. This type of pattern is just beautiful as a spine in feather designs, as a "sashing" between larger patterns or simply as part of a design. The possibilities are endless.

Advanced editing 

At the end of the Retreat you are ready for some advanced stuff: editing in detail, perfecting designs, backtracking, using the shortcuts, getting the perfect design quality that you expect from Art and Stitch.

This Retreat is for Intermediate / Advanced users of Art and Stitch
