Step 4: Learn the Digitizing Theory by John

After the intro, move on to Digitizing Theory.

Here, you’ll learn the “why” behind digitizing—how things work and how to make designs stitch out properly.

These lessons help you understand how to solve problems, create better designs, and feel more in control of your results. Most users come back to this section again and again—so feel free to revisit it whenever you need to.

Be sure to download the files associated with each lesson if there is one.

Step 5: Follow the Beginner Tutorials and Practice

Now it’s time to start digitizing!

Practice is how you get better. These lessons are designed to get you creating right away, even if you’re brand new.

Note: Some lessons were made using older versions of the software. If something looks a little different, don’t worry—it’s because we’ve improved it. If you’re stuck, ask in our friendly Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/elembroiderysoftwareinnercircle
