continues to do the satin stitch. Please help how to go about digitizing the design. I would be grateful if some cuties could Please explain in steps how to digitize the design. Thank you and God bless. Bernadette de Souza

I too change the colour at each step, only my Designer stops when you use the same colour twice in a row, the others embroider happily on.

Have you had a look at the tutorial on Clipartopolis? I gave you the link in my answer to your first question yesterday. It explains the steps clearly. And tells about the colour change too. Watch them, it's worth the time you spend on it as it takes the mystery out of the process even whenyou have different software.

As a general rule: make the outline of the area-to-cut-out, followed by a double narrow and low density zigzag. Change colour, digitise the bars across the cut-away area, followed by a satin outline of desired density and with; digitize all other elements of the design, preferably without jumps. But watch the video's, that's makes it so much easier.

I brought a picture of the design made following that tutorial to the top in Projects, so you can see my result.

Thank you for this link.

See you got the same reply as I would have given you - will just leave a *4u

I don't have the Janome Diitiser MB but I think the process is much the same for all systems. You need to digitise each step as a colour change so the machine will stop at each section. i.e. make each step a different colour. I hope this helps.
