ExpressDesign Wizard 

Use the ExpressDesign Wizard to create new designs automatically from pictures. There are three design types that can be created in the ExpressDesign Wizard: Express Embroidery, Express Trace and Express Border.mySewnet™ Draw & Paint

Additionally, when started with New New_icon00534.jpg, the ExpressDesign Wizard can be used to load a picture for a new design, load an existing design or start a new design without a picture.

Express Embroidery

Create a new design by converting color areas in a picture to fill and satin areas, using running stitch or satin border outlines where necessary.

Express Embroidery works best when using pictures that have well defined, flat color areas and outlines.

Express Trace

Create a new design by tracing outlines in the picture. Use light or heavy running stitch to create redwork or blackwork style designs, create quilt stencils and so on. Use satin border of constant width for designs that demand broader outlines.

Express Border

Create a new design by creating borders around shapes in a picture. The border can be created as a satin border, an outline of running, double or triple stitch, or a border of motifs; all, optionally, with appliqué.

Load or Create a Picture

Create a new design by loading a picture, and optionally rotating and cropping the picture. Select a hoop or design size, then the wizard finishes. The picture is loaded as a background into the mySewnet™ Digitizing design window.

You can also create or edit a picture in mySewnet™ Draw & Paint.
