they are very helpful
This is what I needed to hear! I am just starting out! Thank you!
This is a tremendous help. Thank you so much!
Thank you Lindee this was really informative.

Madam, as a beginner, I am confused how to use the tie in and tie off commands panel while digitizing a design. How you can demonstrate apply trims and remove trims, pls show us, how the tie in and tie off takes place. just using two objects.
I love your tutorials. I have several designs that the jump stitches are actually stitching down, not just jumping . How do I get that to stop. Is there a way to stop that from happening?
Thanks! I recommend opening the design in embroidery software to see if there are actually stitches there or if it is your machine adding the stitches. If you see needle penetrations in the design, you can remove them if you have editing capabilities. Also, depending on your software and your machine, you may be able to add a trim command. Some machines will automatically trim any stitches longer than a specific length, others may recognize trim commands. Older more basic machines will only trim at the end of a color change.
what about jumps for images?
What does "native font" mean? Is it the TT font that we import into Stitch Artist?
"Native font" generally means one that is created especially for a particular program and provide the most flexibility. For example, Hatch fonts are "native" fonts because they were created with WIlcom software and are fully editable with an appropriate level of Hatch. WIth Embrilliance, the fonts that come with the program are "semi" native fonts. They come with the program but they aren't true "objects" with outlines that can be adjusted. They still have more options than a purchased BX font which is always only just a collection of fixed stitched.
Yes, you can import TT fonts into Stitch Artist and they perform just like any other artwork you import. Hatch will auto-digitize any TrueType fonts.

can you cut these off manually?
Yes you can. Your machine may automatically trim stitches longer than a specific length. If you're controlling trims in your software, you'll want to be sure to enable tie stitches if you have trims turned off and you're planning to trim by hand.
@@lindeegoodall2426 Thank you,will cutting them of mess up the other embroidery?
@@SUPERSTROKE333, on machines with no cutters or where you will be trimming yourself, I recommend cutting jumps after each color change so they don't get sewn in. As long as you don't cut into other stitches, it shouldn't mess up the other embroidery. Be careful on some purchased designs with lettering. If the connectors are really short, they may not be intended to be trimmed and if you do trim, there may not be any lock stitches. It can be hard to hide lock stitches on tiny or skinny letters. The only way you'll know for sure is to inspect the design in your software.
My customers demand no-jumps especially, in their small font business logos. I agree. There should be no jumps between letters and there is no excuse for it when done by the "real" professional. I would not have a business if I allowed messy jumps.
It's not always possible to avoid jumps between letters depending on the spacing. If the gap is sufficient enough, you''re kind of stuck with a jump.
If you ask a long time pro digitizer, leaving connectors between very small letters is the more professional approach because it will avoid blobs from tie offs that are more noticeable than short connectors. Sometimes you have to educate your customers. Embroidery is not a thread version of print.
