How to digitize an image using PE Design 10 Software ( Quick Tutorial )

[Music] youtube it's your boy dion with quality custom designs back with another banger video and in this video as you can see we will be doing a digitized picture um i know everyone requested it i just found out that with my video editing software that i can screen record so sorry guys um i'm not too familiar with the software i just actually just googled it and it said it like a screen record so let's go ahead and start with that so this is like i said the software that i do use which is the pe design 10 software so as you can see all the stuff up here as far as the images and different stuff that you could choose from the stitch types and stuff like that um so we're going to do something simple so i'm going to go ahead and open my images from the file you can see and just try to pick something like this i'm gonna go with this perfect so let's go ahead and start to digitize this i'm gonna keep it at this size um let me see yeah i'm gonna just keep it at this size so it'll be i guess more reasonable so depending on what you want to start with first and if you are making this a patch so basically you'll start with how do i want to put it you'll start with your inside first so of course you see it's all white so with me go ahead and find the circle turn this off i'm not going to use a border for that and make this white so let's get a close-up on that so i'll just let me see i might want to zoom in just a little bit more so i'm gonna start here and what i'm gonna do is back out try to pick a good point and just drag it um okay i didn't want to do that sorry i'm gonna bag it out some more so that you can see everything okay so just to get this full circle go ahead go back to shapes so i'm gonna go ahead and go to shapes as you can see the shapes and it's already a circle image so instead of me having to digitize it piece by piece i can just go ahead and grab this rectangle circle and rectangular circle sorry grab that and just start from whatever point you want to start from and also hold shift once you hold shift it will change as far as the size or if you just do a regular like this then you can stretch it how you want it but preferably i'll rather just hold the shift button when doing it so let's re do that again you got the size so that should be the perfect size let's move it over and see stretch it a little okay come on perfect okay perfect so that's going to be white so what i am going to do is go ahead and just change the color to white real quick and let's see and i'm going to hide this and that's what the eye is for the show the stitch object so once i click it it will hide the image perfect so now we're going to start with the stars so let's go back up to home screen go to shapes and they do let's see if they have that star up here this kind of looks like it but not really so what i'm what i'm going to do is go ahead and just draw the my own star um and digitize that without having to use one of the shapes so let's grab an outline um it is a point so i'm going to start with the point i'll change that color to yellow and let's start with this image um usually some people um i haven't really been in tune with doing it unless it's really really needed some people usually before it even come on the screen they usually go and like vectorize the image to make it like really clear just so they can see as far as the um the picture um so that'll actually help out way better instead of like seeing all of these blurry lines but personally it's just a tutorial small tutorial so it's nothing major so let's go ahead and you know what you can use either x or z that's to change the shape so x would be the curve as you can see and z is a straight stitch if you didn't know that so so i'm going to go ahead and use the curve for now and probably zoom in a little bit more just to try to get the whole object go ahead and click that and then i will turn into a straight because of the point just a little bit then turn it back to a curve if you guys just caught that and girls whoever's watching yep so like i said once again sorry for the inconvenience um like i said i didn't even know i can screen share um so hopefully i didn't upset too many people so okay so get the curve there and then i mean straight there and then go back to a curve like i said curve is x and z is for the straight stitch and this is a fill stitch i don't like how that looks okay so hit it with the straight there and it's a little off straight curve so this takes practice and some getting used to um this isn't something you just learned once again um i know someone asked about it again uh you know how did i learn to do this but this isn't something you learn in just a day or two it takes time so and i will hold on let me see if i can get close enough perfect and try to cap it off with a straight stitch not the best but it'll do for now so with that being said what i would do is with that image itself for me it looks like these are all the same so instead of trying to do the same step that i did before what i'll do is this click it right click and then go to duplicate so now just line it up with one of these and just change the color it saves you time so and do the same for the next one right click it duplicate go down line it up and just change the color um i don't know i guess that's close enough alright so now that's together so from there what i would do is i will go back and i will make this visible again now from there it all depends on how you really want to do it but just from there just to see is everything fitting in place zoom in has everything lined up to your liking also too i know someone asked about uh about the color i want to say was the color uh the color order and like i said with the color order the thing about that is you just have to have or know which color you want to go first and last second third and fourth and so on so on so with that it's nothing you know fancy or nothing like that it just depends on which color you want to go usually if you have them all the same color i know it's going to be difficult it's going to look out of wet so you definitely want to make sure that whatever you do want to go in that second position or third position you have to make sure that everything is lined up proportionally basically and lined up in the correct order because if not then yes it will come out disfigured it will come out not stitched out right or you have some overlapping stitches so definitely everything has to be in order in the correct order at that so how i got it now i think it's cool um i think it's good so from there now let's see so what i'm gonna do is select all of these and then hide them real quick so now either real quick so now either i can go ahead and just do the same process with this outline or give you something even better watch this so go to shapes go to circle go to it's like a grayish color so from there go back up back up all right so i will start from the top and then go down about right there hold shift and then drag sideways sorry if let's see if i line that up right let's try it again i had to take it off i don't think i lined it up right because i moved it okay all right so grab that just try to line it up a little bit just see if it's about the same height it's a little bit i'm just bump it down a little yeah not too bad so now what i am going to do is take the first one no i'm gonna take the um sorry i'm gonna take the last one and put it on top of the first one so that that will come first then the white will come second now from there like i said either you could have traced the whole image the circle or they have something called sorry it is called modify overlap so the modified overlap is able to let you basically remove anything that's in the area of the place you want to insert like another picture or another design or shape so what you would do is how i have it highlighted you have to have the image you want modified first then hold ctrl key click the background image that you want to be modified on then once you click the modify overlap it'll show you either you can merge them and connect them together or you can remove the overlap so now once you click remove overlap you'll see over here that it's a hole in the middle now so now what i would do is this click it and move it out the way and look what happened you created your border outline that you would have created if you would have just did it manually with the stitch how i made the the stars but now you just created this image without even having to do the other work now some may say that looked at harder some may say easier to me it's easier so that's how i usually do my images with the hose in the middle so what i am going to do is go back so that looks good for the most part so let's see let's click right click everything and you can go to select all and then just just show it and see how everything looks so far not bad doesn't look too bad looks good all right now from there now distillers personally all right let's well real quick let's select everything and then hide it all so the last thing we got to do is stealers now me personally it's gonna be so hard to try to trace all of this and get this perfect and all that so with that being said this is why you got the text tool so now with the text tool click that um it's kind of debatable on whether to use these are the small text this is just the regular text and these are monograms so just go to the small text we'll just use the text that they have here yeah that looks okay i guess so let's go ahead and put that in stillers all right so from there of course it gotta be shrunk a little and i'm gonna hold shift and drag move it over some and hold shift and drag again just to try to line it up as best as i can no it's not going to be perfect i know it's not the same font but hey you got to try right so just trying to just you know just get a let me see trying to line some things up man and okay not looking bad oops sorry just trying to line some stuff up um let's see that's probably the closest i can get it because this is not the same font i really just use whatever i saw was the first font i just went ahead and went with that so um let's see um i could have actually just went through this x no that's not it but like i said i could actually just went through all of the different fonts but it's so many um that'll take a while to actually try to line it up unless the person that i was making this for really wanted it to be exactly like that then yes i would look for it but this is just a tutorial video so well it's probably the best i'm gonna get it right there so nonetheless um so so now we have that so what i'll do is just go back like i said right click select all and then click the i just to show everything just to see how it look and hey i don't think it's too bad it looks okay to me um and out even let's see just try i'ma try to make it a little bit bigger just because all right and just move it a little bit it's not going to be perfect of course but hey it looks good for the most part and that actually looks good and also if i wanted to just uh actually just put another border on the other side of it i would just click the outer border the one that has the whole go up to shapes and then yo not sewing line you will just either click the you will click the zigzag not either um this is the run stitch just in case you might want to use um something like a felt or anything so you would hit a run stitch and um and that would just be the outline you'll see the line as you can see right there you'll see just the line and that'll be for your border stitch if you want to cut anything i mean that would be for your cut stitch sorry about that so now for the border you would use a zigzag stitch you could probably see how thin it is so you'll go over here to your sewing attributes and bump it up um depending on what you want to use i like between 14 and 15 so that's about where i like it at that's a good border stretch especially for a patch so yep you will do all of that and you will take the under sewing out because if not i'll show you guys um go over here and select the object and that's a right click you click it then right click and select object it's going to pick the whole thing um but as you can see right here i'm going to turn the under stitch under sewing back on real quick so as you can see it this is just a border that's sewing out sorry it kind of went fast but let me reset that okay sorry i'm trying to okay i forgot what i was doing sorry all right so now i just want to make it bigger for you to see it so now when doing this you can honestly see where it's stitching out this this is the undersell the under stitch or the under sewing right here and with that that's good for a field stitch so it can close up some gaps so you won't see a lot of gaps in between the stitches and stuff like that that's a perfect setting to have it on which is the under sewn but with a satin stitch it's already overlapping so it's going to cover mostly everything that you need to be covered so that's why you really do not want to have that under sewing and it's already a thicker border too so you can see it without it it's just more cleaner and better so take that off the under sewing off and just play it again i'll speed it up real quick so this is how it looks without the under so like i said it looks way better and more clean because sometimes what will happen that's dependent on your settings as far as density as far as also pool compensation what happened is when you do do that border let me just try to skip to the end if i can let me pause it and just try to skip it so when you do that border and it has that undersewing stitch what tends to happen is that it might shift so when it shift you'll be left with a line sorry you'll be left with a black line and you don't want that black line of course okay so everything is still there so like i said for the most part um just doing this it all depends on your um it all just depends on how you digitize your image so like this isn't too bad so we can just real quick uh back out and just see how it looks as far as the final result and real quick what i am going to do is i'm going to delete the image because everything is stitched out now so go ahead over to the screen like i said i'm gonna go ahead and right click it modify image and it's just gonna select the background image and then i'm gonna delete it great so now that's deleted um okay all right so go ahead and press play just to play out the whole image just to see how everything looks it's not bad it didn't come out bad it looks good actually so so this would be a nice patch to do um as i said before um this it's it's all about digitizing how do you digitize it to make your patches come out the best or you know the best you want it to come out you know what i mean so it's a lot to do with the program i know a lot of people ask me why isn't my coming out like that or mines don't look like how yours look but it's all about the program and how you digitize so i know a lot of people wanted me to make a video and hey hopefully i help people out um with the video hopefully i satisfied some people and you learn something from it so and also if you want to save your image also just you either control s or just press save and it'll save all of your images there you just name the file and you'll be able to save it there so real quick though i do want to say something about your entry and exit points now i don't know if you guys just saw how the whites dished out so what i am going to do is click the white background go back and press play so do you guys just see how it's started stitching here then it stopped moved back to the top and started backstitching that all has to do with your exit and entry um so what i like to do is put everything on one side now it may not work for everybody but how i like to do is put everything on one side so what i am going to do is hide everything oops didn't mean to do that so go back um so i'm just select all and then hold control and not select that and then click the i all right like i said what i like to do as you can see that stopping point so i want to make sure everything is shifted to one side let me see so and it also depends on your stitch directions as well um so i'll probably change it to zero so now all the stitches are going sideways so if i start from here this would be a perfect point to start at because now everything will start at the top and then make its way back to the bottom so it's going to start at the top go to sorry about that it's going to start at the bottom then it's going to rotate to go to the top to start the stitching then it's going to finish at the bottom so it's going to start at the bottom go to the top to do the stitches and then it's going to feel and then start and finish right back at the bottom so that's how i usually like to set up my stitches as well i mean certain images and stuff is different where you have no choice to leave it at certain points but for the most part if it's something simple as a circle a triangle square you know what i mean you just start from that point and end at that point so but like i said guys once again i hope that you enjoyed this video i hope that everything you know i mean uh made sense that i said i pray and hope that everything made sense because you didn't you watched it for no reason right so hopefully everything made sense hopefully um you learn something from the video um i didn't go in full full depth but that was just the most that i could give or as far as the example of the picture so like i said hopefully you learned something hopefully you got something out of video so for the most part i thank you guys for watching once again thank you guys for the support and you know we're going to close the video off here so once again it's your boy dion with quality custom designs and as always stay blessed and continue to strive for greatness and i'm out guys [Music]
