4D Embroidery Preferences Setting – Remove Overlap When Combining Embroideries

Published on February 7, 2010, there are 14 Comments

This lesson is on removing overlap when combining embroideries. There is often a need to combine and remove overlap when creating a new design. The removal of overlap is to minimize bulk and make a design surface consistent. At other times leaving the design layers in place is required or preferred. Knowing when and how to control the setting is easy with 4D Embroidery. In fact the remove over lap capability was added with the 4D software.

To review the use of not removing overlap view the Valentine lesson from February of 2008.

Thank you, Lin, for taking the time to create these 4D tutorials. They are so helpful, method clearly demonstrated, and the useful of the presented application.

I don’t even want to think about these tutorials not being available. Please continue as I cannot emphasize enough how valuable they are to us “infrequent” 4D users and how easily we can forget. I’ve referred back to various tutorials and they are just the “refresher” I need.

Hi Nancy, It can be done with 4D Extra. You will need to find the straight stitch in the machine stitch. Plan your stitch lines and create your stitch line. You can copy it into your clip board and then paste it back in and place it for multiple lines of stitching. You can adjust the length of the stitch line by removing the unneeded portion using the edit tab. Starting out with your plan and the straight stitch from the machine stitches are key. HTH LIN

Hi Elizabeth,
The feature was added with the release of 4D. Overlap removal in 3D is a manual process.
Sorry, LIN

Someone in a class referred me to your site. I have taken 3D and 4 D classes and it all
seems to make sense. Then when I go to use it(I work full time) I am lost. Your video
is perfect. Thank you for taking the time to do it. You are a great help.

Thank you so much for the videos that you have! They are clear and precise and easy to understand.
I have 4D Embroidery Extra for my D1. Can I do a crazy quilt block, and if so, HOW?? Thanks!
