3D Digitizing 1 DVD
T
The 3D Digitizing 1 DVD is ideal for those that are just getting into 3D (or even 4D) digitizing. The icon images in the tools have changed in the 4D software, so for someone just starting out with the 4D it may be confusing but for someone who has upgraded from the 3D it should be okay.
You will learn how to:
You will learn how to:

3D Digitizing 2
This DVD has three sections:
Design 1
I show how I took photos of the pieced sections of the quilt and then used Freehand Satin Stitch and Freehand Curved Satin Stitch tools in 3D Digitizing to create a design that could then be used as an element in Encore to create a Grand hoop design for the centre of the quilt.
This section includes information on the editing that had to be done to get this design symmetrical but still true to the background image. Carolyn used the grid to hlp with this and also altered the shape of the point in the satin stitch to ensure it stitched out correctly.
Design 2
This design uses Freehand Curved Satin Fill, Freehand Motif Fill and Double Trace to create the design. The Motif Fill often assumes that it will have a satin border over it and can be quite irregular.
In this section you are shown how to edit and tidy the motif fill to give a good quality edge for the Double Trace stitching.
Design 3
The third design uses the Freehand Triple Stitch tool to work over a photo of another section of the quilt to create a line design unit that is made into a composite design using Encore.
This design is to be used as a quilting design but this freehand technique could also be used for redwork designs.
