Vector graphics are made of mathematical paths rather than pixels, which means they have crisp edges and flat colour areas. These are the ideal qualities for machine embroidery, where clean shapes translate directly into clean satin and fill stitches.
Why Vector Art Is Great for Embroidery
- •Sharp, well-defined edges become clean stitch boundaries.
- •Flat colour areas map directly to thread colours.
- •It scales to any hoop size without losing quality.
- •Fewer colours than a photo means fewer thread changes.
