Elna's Digitizer EX software has been specially developed to complement our range of advanced embroidery machines.
As a user, you benefit from a number of exclusive advantages. Regardless of the type of motif you choose (a personal design or clip art, a scanned image or even a motif downloaded from the Internet), you can be confident of top quality results, every time.
Create your very own design originals!
Create your own embroidery motifs from scratch, using standard manual tools. Importing your design is easy using the special Digitizer EX functions designed to optimize scanned images or photos. And even if the quality of the original image isn't great, Digitizer EX allows you to correct lines and enhance image quality to be sure of obtaining the best possible result.
Automatic digitizing options
Elna's Digitizer EX software offers a range of options for automatic, semi-automatic and manual digitizing of images. Whichever you choose, you can modify your embroidery at any time, as well as changing the design parameters set by your computer.
Digitize photos using Photo Click
The Photo Click tool allows you to easily create an embroidery design directly from a photo. Simply scan or upload the desired image directly into Digitizer EX, for truly stunning results!
Fantastic textures
Digitizer EX makes it easy to add beautiful embossed effects to your embroidery. Select from a huge range of patterns - 130 in total. You can also enhance your embroideries with a range of stunning, ready-to-use motifs, decorative borders and complex textures.
Embroidered lettering
Create professional quality lettering quickly and easily. Digitizer EX offers a broad range of scalable, modifiable alphabet styles. Determining the orientation, shape and spacing between letters couldn't be easier, and the software comes with a choice of 50 different font styles.
Or, alternatively
TrueTypeTM fonts with different fills
Take full advantage of the TrueTypeTM fonts installed on your computer - choose from satin fill or weave fill, and apply different formatting to your lettering quickly and easily, exactly as you do on a word processor.
Appliqués
Appliqués are very popular for small designs. Now, creating embossed embroidery designs by stitching one piece of fabric to another is child's play, thanks to the Appliqué digitizing method. Depending on the settings you choose, the Digitizer EX allows you to generate up to four separate embroidery layers - placement lines, cutting lines, tackdown and cover stitching - for each appliqué object.
Rotate, skew, flip and copy
Every design can be precisely rotated for perfect positioning, and stitching can be emphasized for added impact. Copy a motif and flip it for a mirror effect, or copy/paste to create a continuous motif run.
Design gallery
Digitizer EX comes with its own huge range of embroidery designs. All are readily accessible and easy to integrate into your projects as standalone motifs, or in combinations.
Designs are stored in a centralized library on your hard drive, to which you can add your own personal motifs. Digitizer EX supports all major embroidery file types.
Vast choice of colours
Give your projects a natural look with a wide choice of realistic colours and tones; use shadow effects and mixed colour combinations to achieve even more naturalistic flowers and animals. Create your own personalized colours, then add them to the colour selection table for even more variety.
Personalize your Digitizer EX
Digitizer EX allows you to set the color inside the hoop to match the fabric you intend to stitch out on. You can also set a background color outside the hoop by way of contrast. Alternatively, you can add background fabrics based on samples packaged with the software.
