How To Create EMBROIDERED Art | Chroma Luxe DIGITIZING Software | (EMB Hub Ep132)

In this week’s episode of Embroidery Hub, Willy shows you a unique embroidery technique that allows you to transform portraits and photos into embroidered pieces of art. He did this by using an exclusive stitch snapshot feature that is available in Chroma Plus and Chroma Luxe digitizing software.

For this project, we used:

MT-1501

Sweater

75 by 11 Sharp Point needles

40 weight thread

2 sheets of cutaway stabilizer

F hoop

Snips

Let’s discuss profit potential:

We got this sweater from JiffyShirts for $9, and the thread and stabilizer cost $0.25. You can sell sweaters like these for $35 to $65 on Etsy, depending on the design. That results in a profit of $25 to $55.

For the digitizing portion, we are using the Chroma Luxe digitizing software. First, input your design and click on the snapshot tool. A page will appear with all the tools you can use to manipulate the design. After you have made any needed changes, save those changes by clicking OK.

On the panel, select your design and press OK. Then, go to Design Settings, select the F hoop, and press OK. After that, flip your design so the sewing arm is on the open side of the sweater. Make sure to select the colors you want to use in the Color Selection menu. Finally, set your speed to 1000 stitches per minute, lock the machine, and trace the design. Once you do all that, press Start.

When the machine finishes embroidering the design, take the hoop off the machine and remove the hoop from the sweater. Then grab your scissors and cut off the excess stabilizer.

And now you have an embroidered piece of art! You’ll amaze your customers with beautiful works of art made entirely out of stitches using this exclusive feature that is available in both Chroma Plus and Chroma Luxe.
