Just starting to Digitize?

This is a very generic example of digitizing using the basic satin and runstitch styles. If you just started at digitizing, lesson #1 is:

Learn to visualize

This clip is mostly for anyone that wants to learn to 'visualize' so it will break your thought patterns into 9 different considerations of a single optical view. The human mind can be trained to view such scenarios in around 7 conditions at a minimum. If you are just learning to digitize and wish to grow, then pay attention for 15-16 minutes.

A common problem for many is trying to do everything at once. Before trying to cover yourself in many philosophies and technical intricacies, you have to teach your mind to look at things differently. Embroidery is any many ways a kind of quantum mathematics with many variables and invisibilities that only materialize in 'thread'.

To become fluent in embroidery digitizing, you have to teach your mind to cycle though multiple outcomes in a short space of time. If you do this exercise sincerely, it is actually a life lesson that can help guide everything you do. No theories can teach you this, and no classes are long enough...but you have this clip at your disposal everyday.


Take the challenge. 30 minutes a day. 30 days.
Look at this clip once every 3 days, and see whether you notice things you missed. At first view, you may see the clip seems to be 15 minutes long. It is actually around 3600 seconds in 'observation' time.

Pull Compensation is another big topic. You cannot absorb everything in a day so that will have more focus in another topic because that also has multiple facets. This clip doesn't really focus on that. First, learn to change the way you look at shapes. If you take the challenge, in 30 days you will begin to see every object you look at in simultaneous different paths.
