Creating Beautiful Photo Embroidery
■
For Photo Stitch
• Select a photograph that shows a large
image. (A photograph with an intricate
image, for example, one that contains many
objects, is not suitable.)
• Increase the contrast.
• An image with a width and height between
300 and 500 dots is suitable.
• For best results with human portraits, the
main focus of the image should be the area
between the chest and the top of the head
and the image should be framed in an area
of 130 × 180 mm (5 × 7 inches) or more.
• For best results when using a dark original image, we recommend setting
Brightness
in the
Photo Stitch
Parameters
dialog box to a higher setting.
• If the created embroidery pattern contains colors that you do not wish to emphasize (for example, grays in
the face), change the sewing order in the
Sewing Order/Color
dialog box so that the undesirable color is
sewn before all other colors.

• To create sepia photo embroidery, first create a sepia user thread chart in the
Edit User Thread Chart
dialog box, and then select the created sepia user thread chart under
Color Option
in the
Photo Stitch
Parameters
dialog box.
