How to Add Mylar to Existing Embroidery Designs - Digitizing Tutorial

Mylar is an incredible embroidery effect and is one of my favorites! It creates a real sparkle within embroidery designs while simultaneously reducing stitch counts, all without the need for metallic threads. Considering mylar designs do need to be digitized specifically for the "Mylar effect" we often get the question, can an existing design be edited for Mylar?

The answer is yes, but is the amount of time editing worthwhile? The first thing that needs to be clear is that having both embroidery and digitizing experience will help with this assessment. Second, having the native file format for the software you own will define how easily the task can be done.

Join John in this video as he takes a design that he digitized 15 years ago and using the native EMB file will show how the make the necessary changes to make the design shine.
