Brother PE-Design Next
Experience the luxury of professional digitizing capabilities with Brother's PE-Design Next a step up again from the previous version 8, With great additions to Print and Stitch design technology, PE Design Next brings even more editing capabilities to your computer. Merge patterns without overlapped stitches, adjust underlay density and much more. It automatically converts any image into a embroidery design. The pattern is saved using the included USB card reader/writer into an included memory card. Brother's computer memory cards fit all its embroidery machines to produce the finished design.
Simple machine embroidery, loading images for conversion into the Stitch Wizard is straightforward, either via the clipboard or browsing to find the image file and then importing it. One click opens the Image to Stitch Wizard function. This takes you through several steps, the most important of which is selecting colours to create your image. The program assumes 10 colours and selects them automatically. This may be too many, say if your image is black and white so you will need to edit the colours to include just black and white. When the image has a lot of colours, you can increase the number of colours, or edit the selection so you have the right mix. The software then takes about five seconds to convert the image into a stitch pattern, most likely of tens of thousands of stitches.
The Brother PE Designs Next embroidery software can convert any image, even photos! in colour and monochrome capability.
Auto Punching - automatically sets the colour regions in order to create the embroidery stitches from a photo or clip art.
Cross Stitch Selected designs can automatically convert to cross stitch with up to 15 colours.
My Custom Thread Palette. Improved thread colour chart including manual colour selection.
Built-in Fonts - Including capability to automatically digitize True Type fonts.
Stitch Edit - Use the point edit mode to insert, move or delete stitch points.
Stitch Patterns - Use the built-in patterns to create your own.
Stitch Simulator - Displays a simulation of the machine stitching.
The program gives you a preview of what the finished embroidery will look like so you are saved the hassle of producing designs that don't work well once sewn. The Stitch Wizard gives an embroidery style that is more abstract and closer to a tactile, knitted finish than the neat look of traditional embroidery stitching.
PE-Design Next includes functions similar to a graphics package to create your own designs from scratch, rather than working from an image. There are 100 embroidery typefaces for lettering and the software loads all the typefaces on your computer as well. When it comes to stitching, the file saved via the USB card reader/writer includes instructions for sewing order, loading colours and stitch counts.
PE-Design Next takes digitizing and embroidery to the next level of creativity with exceptional new features. A user-friendly graphical interface, similar to many software programs on the market today, makes it easy to locate and select the dynamic functions of this software. In addition, the quick access toolbar allows you to customize your favorite operations so they are only a quick click away. Several "Start Your Own Business" functions have been added such as the new PE design Next version. Link Function that allows up to four PR-1000 and upgraded PR-650 machines to be linked from a single computer with queue functionality.
