Tutorial
6. Print and Stitch
In this example, we will create a design that combines embroidery and an image.
We will import an image into Layout & Editing, and then create an embroidery design that combines it with the
image. Next, we will print the image on an iron-on transfer sheet or printable fabric, and then use the
embroidery machine to sew the embroidery on top of printed fabric.
Step 1
Creating a design combined
with a background image
These designs can be created by importing an
image, then creating an embroidery pattern or
importing an existing embroidery pattern. For this
example, we will use the gift box image
(Bear_Background.jpg) and the embroidery pattern
of the bear (Bear.pes) provided with this software.
Start up Layout & Editing.
Specify a Design Page size of 130 x 180 mm.
c

Color” on page 68.

Import the file Bear_Background.jpg.
Select the file Bear_Background.jpg by
clicking the Documents (My Documents)
folder, then PE-DESIGN 8, then Tutorial, then
Tutorial_6.
