Course Outline
MODULE 1: Fundamentals of Computerized Embroidery Design
- what embroidery pattern design (digitizing) is
- the difference between graphic design and embroidery
- why embroidery is not an automatic conversion process
-
stages of creating a design:
1. laying stitches on the graphic
2. assigning technical parameters
3. optimizing the design
MODULE 2: Preparing Graphics for Embroidery
- which graphics are suitable for embroidery
- simplifying and analyzing the design
- dividing the design into embroidery elements
- selecting details according to technological capabilities
- preparing the file for digitization
MODULE 3: The Physics of Embroidery and Material Behavior
- how materials affect embroidery
- phenomena: shrinking, pushing out, stitch sinking
- the role of stabilizers
- the impact of thread and needle tension
- how to predict the final result already at the design stage
MODULE 4: Principles of Embroidery Pattern Design
- working with layers
- the sequence of embroidering elements
- stitch directions and their significance
- building pattern readability
- avoiding common beginner mistakes
MODULE 5: Types of Embroidery Stitches
- satin stitch
- fill stitch (tatami)
- decorative and special stitches
- applying stitches depending on the design element
- selecting the appropriate stitch based on size and shape
MODULE 6: Methods of Laying Stitches
- embroidery directions
- dividing objects into smaller sections
- working with outlines and fills
- building embroidery aesthetics
- conscious design instead of automation
MODULE 7: Stitch Parameters and Material Adaptation
- stitch density
- stitch length
- material compensation
- underlay
- settings for different materials (e.g., knitwear, fleece, cotton)
MODULE 8: Optimizing the Embroidery Design
- reducing embroidery time
- minimizing trims and thread jumps
- proper element sequence
- minimizing errors during embroidery
- preparing the design for mass production

What I liked most about the training was the technical color and video performance theory session. It helped me clearly understand the reasoning behind key production decisions, such as why specific frame rates are chosen for different types of videos and how particular color spaces impact visual quality and performance. Having this theoretical foundation made the technical concepts more meaningful and easier to apply in practical scenarios.
