Special conversion tools in BERNINA V9 automatically convert vector objects and text to embroidery or lettering objects. In fact, entire vector drawings can be quickly and easily converted to embroidery designs. When creating embroidery objects, the software determines optimum object and stitch type for given shapes. These can be modified as required. You can also convert embroidery designs or objects to vector objects.
Caution Included artwork (clipart) and embroidery designs can only be used for personal use – i.e. they cannot be commercially sold in any form. Changing the medium – i.e. clipart to embroidery or embroidery to clipart – does not remove copyright protection.
There are limitations when converting some CorelDRAW® vectors to embroidery. Special effects, such as drop shadow, contour, and transparency, do not convert well as there is no equivalent embroidery effect. Enveloped text and Fountain or Mesh fills do not always give the expected result either.
If there is no embroidery equivalent, the object is converted with solid colors only. Enveloped text is converted to embroidery objects rather than embroidery lettering.
