SewArt is a simple to use image editing tool that allows you to transform a raster or vector image into an embroidery file.

What the application does is actually add a series of effects to a source image, altering its original look so that you can easily sew over it. The application supports a wide range of image formats such as PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, SVG, EMF and WMF. You can load these images from within the application or by simply dragging them onto the workspace.

Interface-wise, SewArt doesn’t confuse even the most novice of users. It displays a comprehensive arrangement of the menus and buttons that facilitate the use of all its features. If by any chance you can’t figure out how exactly the application is supposed to work, you can find instructions in the attached user’s manual or by opening the Wizard.

With the Wizard activated, it’s very easy to obtain the desired stitch-out. It guides you through a four step process that reduces the number of distinct colors,merges them, remove speckling and finally, merge any remaining small percentage color areas that still exist in the image.

Prior or post Wizard, you can apply a wide range of other adjustments to the image before you print or export it. You are able to resize the image, rotate and flip it, as well as add a posterize effect to it. If you feel that the source image is missing something, then you can easily add or remove details using the Pencil, Paintbrush, Fill Region and Eraser tools.

Once you are pleased with the end result of the processed image, you can manually start stitching it to create the sewing pattern or have the application perform it automatically. The second option is the most efficient since a large scale image with a decent amount of details and colors takes a good couple of minutes to finish.

If your hobby is sewing and want to create original, customized templates, then SewArt is a digital tool to help you do just that.

Getting Started

The help that accompanies SewArt contains a mini-tutorial that describes the steps necessary to load input image files and convert them to embroidery files. After opening SewArt by double-clicking the desktop icon, click the Help/Help Topics menu item. This will open the Getting Started main help page which presents a step-by-step tutorial for using the various features of SewArt.

Sewart Supply

Several image-processing tools are available in SewArt. In many cases, these will be necessary to use in order to reduce the color content and smooth the image file before it can be sewn. Usually, clipart images are already smooth enough to be sewn immediately, so these constitute a good set of images for starting to use the digitizing features of SewArt.

Once a suitable image has been obtained the auto-digitizing Sewing mode is entered by clicking the Convert toolbar button (the sewing-machine icon). This presents a stitching toolbar from which choices for pattern fills, stitch angles, etc., can be made. Options for auto-digitizing the entire image or just a single color, or manually sewing each color in the image, are available on this toolbar.

Below is a clipart image that was sewn with SewArt using the default pattern fill. The textured fill appears after the image has been converted (sewn) to stitches. In this case, the conversion process took less than 5 minutes to complete. More complicated images will take longer and require use of the image conversion tools prior to producing the embroidery file.
