part four: how to go from photo to finished art

Photo editing software is our solution!
You can play around with different lines & colors, before you commit to actually embroidering the fabric. I use Photoshop a lot to work out different ideas for quilts or fiber art. I don’t have a tablet, so my sketches are pretty rough looking, but they’re enough to get a general idea of how the stitching should work together:
I’ve got an idea of how I want the embroidery to support the composition - it’s time to sew now!
