Getting Started The
help that accompanies SewArt contains a mini-tutorial that describes the steps necessary to load input image
files and convert them to embroidery files. After opening SewArt by double-clicking the desktop icon, click
the Help/Help Topics menu item. This will open the Getting Started main help page which presents a
step-by-step tutorial for using the various features of SewArt. Several image-processing
tools are available in SewArt. In many cases, these will be necessary to use in order to reduce
the color content and smooth the image file before it can be sewn. Usually, clipart images are already smooth enough to be
sewn immediately, so these constitute a good set of images for starting to use the digitizing features of SewArt. Once
a suitable image has been obtained the auto-digitizing Sewing mode is entered by clicking the Convert toolbar
button (the sewing-machine icon). This presents a stitching toolbar from which choices for pattern fills,
stitch angles, etc., can be made. Options for auto-digitizing the entire image or just a single color, or
manually sewing each color in the image, are available on this toolbar.
Below is a clipart image that was sewn with SewArt using the default pattern fill. The textured fill
appears after the image has been converted (sewn) to stitches. In this case, the conversion process took less than 5 minutes
to complete. More complicated images will take longer and require use of the image conversion tools prior to producing the
embroidery file.
