SubStitch 2006 is an advanced design system for the home and small business embroidery market. It was created to fullfil all needs of our customers and includes complete digitizing and editing features. For novice users, simply get the image, open it in SubStitch and then select the generation button once for creating stitch! For professional users, Substitch has very complete editing features for users to fine-tune the computer-generated stitches to suit individual’s preferences.
SubStitch major features are:
- Automatic scanner input with image enhancement
- Multiple methods of image insertion and editing
- Dual views for image processing and stitch generation
- Automatic image analysis for stitch type, stitch region generation, and sequencing
- Convenient and powerful editing tools
- Area list for manual sequence change, view, and operation control
- Ability to automatically convert any number of clipart and fonts into embroidery stitch
- Photo realistic 3D image rendering
SubStitch is a WindowsT-based program that gives you access to the program’s tools and colors through easy-to-use menus, hot keys or toolbars. You can edit the most minute detail of an image or select the precise shade of color from the entire spectrum of colors. With the editing tools, you can straighten a line, curve a line that is straight, correct a jagged line, split an area in half, dig a hole, fill a hole and much more.
SubStitch also features an at-a-glance history pull-down menu that provides a summary of the editing you’ve done to a particular image. The unlimited Redos and Undos combined with the history pull-down menu allow you to look back at where you’ve been and can help you get to where you want to go with your design. Attention to detail is what brings embroidery designs to life. With the SubStitch tools and palettes, you can customize any image into your own personal creation.
Printing design
With SubStitch, you can easily catalog all of the designs you’ve ever created. In addition to a color print of the design, there’s also an information about it, including: design title, number of the stitches, color changes and even more. Also, you can add any additional comment to your design and it will be printed in the bottom of the page.
AI Helper
What is AI Helper? AI Helper customizes the SubStitch software to the user. It remembers patterns in the way you edit images and it automatically makes these changes to align new images with your established preferences. SubStitch actually starts to follow your steps – saving you the time of repeating the same editing techniques to every new image you digitize. Although SubStitch offers an infinite number of stitches and fills, the AI Helper learns your preferences and automatically applies these to your images. But you can always override the AI Helper for more control when you want to create something that is different than in the past, allowing you the freedom to be as creative as you want to be.
Photo Stitch
With SubStitch’s photo stitch feature, you can create designs using not only clip art or simple line art images. Now it’s possible to create different mode colour renditions of your favourite photo. Simply pressing an “Insert Image” button, you’ll get a dialog box wizard, which will help you to insert the new photo to your design.

True 3D View
SubStitch provides the user with Quick View, which enables the user to preview the design quickly. The effect, that you view in the Quick View window is absolutely the same, that you’ll get after embroidery.
Briefly, you’ll get a What You See Is What You Get effect on your screen!
Lettering
Unlike many other programs that come with a set number of fixed fonts, SubStitch works with the TrueTypeT fonts, already installed on your computer. This feature allows you to create embroidery designs using Non-Latin letters (lyke Cyrillic, Arabic or any other) and symbols. You have a freedom to change the characteristics of any font, like size, space or font layout. Also, it’s possibly to use an arc, circly, ellipse or any shape as a path for the letters. You can continue to edit the lettering even after stitches are set to it. And just like the artwork window that lets you preview images, SubStitch offers the added convenience of being able to preview all fonts as well.
