What’s new in Bernina Embroidery Software v6
08.20.09
The real subject of this post is all about the new Morphing Effect tool. But you have to start out with something to morph, so in preparation for morphing, let’s check out the new Art Canvas and create a star.
Picture View is no more! It has been replaced by the Art Canvas. Art Canvas is no longer “just” a place to import a picture. It is a fully functioned vector editing tool – using CorelDraw Essentials 4.
Creating a star is easy! Click on the Star tool. Click and drag to create a star. Holding down the Ctrl key while clicking and dragging will create a symmetrical star. Holding down the Shift key while clicking and dragging will create a star that expands from the center. Holding down both Ctrl + Shift while clicking and dragging will create a symmetrical star that expands from the center.
Select the star and you can change the number of points. You can also change the sharpness of the points – to make them short and fat or long and slim.
.
Having created some shapes, you can now select one or all of them and “Convert to Embroidery” at the touch of a button! A simple outlined shape will create the same shape as an embroidery object, with a single running stitch outline.
A shape with a thicker outline and a fill will create an embroidery object with a thicker outline and a fill!
And now we are ready for Morphing Effect!
