Remove Hidden Stitches - an Embrilliance Essentials Feature

Рет қаралды 59,254

4 жыл бұрын

Embrilliance Essentials has a powerful customizing function called Remove Hidden Stitches. Basically this function kicks in when you merge together two or more embroidery designs and they overlap each other. The stitches that are hidden by the upper layered designs are removed from the stitch file automatically when you save. Your BE working file - the native file to the Embrilliance platform -keep the original designs intact for time saving future editing.
This video talks about the function and shows why the BE working file is so powerful! Four different samples that use Remove Hidden Stitches are explained - from merged and overlapping filled designs to working with applique designs and understanding how the stitch order affects what is removed in the saved file. This video even shows how Remove Hidden Stitches can be set up when working with lettering objects created using the lettering tool. The final example walks you through what can happen when you add lettering to an in the hoop design - and how to recognize the situation and resolve it quickly and easily!

This was just what I needed to know how to do. I had a soccer ball and lettering that I wanted to overlap but could not figure out how to remove the stitches. Thank you this worked great and I've bookmarked this so if I need a refresher on how to do next time.

Wow! What an awesome feature for the remove hidden stitches, particularly with the applique. I have a question: if you have a two color twill and you "kiss cut" the design (meaning the two applique colors are placed on top of each other for one sew file). How do I create a "kiss cut" applique file, or is that something just for commercial machines? Thanks!

@Embrilliance Жыл бұрын

Remove hidden stitches doesn’t apply to patches made with thread fill as they need to be free standing. Choose a different type of patch style if you didn’t like the result.

You have to set the position and material stitch in designs like the Annie right. The first selection was Not Applique so if you wanted to just sew out without having an applique, that button would be clicked, would you still need to set position? Thanks

I have a question: I’ve tried MULTIPLE times to save the file I designed so that it removes the hidden stitches - I even checked the “Remove overlaps when saving stitch files” box in the Jumps / Overlays section of the PROGRAM PREFERENCES menu. Nothing seems to work. After watching this, it seems like all she does is scoot the merged images together to overlap, then chooses to save. So my question is this: does the RHS function not work when you design your own image from merging several other images and adding text? I’m using the palm tree & water from one image, the sun from another, the petal from a flower on another image, copied and pasted to make it look like a line of sand, and then I used separate lettering for words. That’s a big hodge podge of images thrown together, so maybe the RHS feature can’t read or something? I also tried grouping everything, and clicking the scissor icon to remove the hidden stitches that way. But it’s still not working. Any tips would be appreciated ❤️

So, does the initial two files have to be PES objects or should they be .BE objects in order to be able to be merged? I've created files myself and saved in parts so that I could later merge them if I want, but I'm missing some details.

@Embrilliance Жыл бұрын

It’s a stitch file function. It’s not designed to work on BE files as it is not a digitizing technique.

@CapricornDaze Жыл бұрын

@@Embrilliance Ok, I figured that. I was using both of my PES files, but the stitches are not being hidden like I expected. I have the preference set correctly too. I'm really not sure where I'm going wrong with this. It seems so simple.

i have the same problem. I put a monogram M and then my last name over the M and it should have removed the stitches in the M when the top layer stitched out, instead it stitches each one as if it were a separate item and it makes the design dense and bulky.

Thank you for this video! I still must be missing something because I do not understand what adding the letter has anything to do with the hidden sts of the first 2 steps as it doesn't cover any of the design. ie, I would think you would have to do this (tell the program the applique functions ) with the design as it was brought in. If I did not add the letter, wouldn't I still have to assign the applique functions in this design ?
