PE DESIGN 11 / EMBROIDERY

PE-Design 11

PE-Design 11 is an embroidery software developed by Bernina, designed for both hobbyists and professional embroiderers. It is part of a series of software tools offered by Bernina for creating, customizing, and digitizing embroidery designs. PE-Design 11 is particularly popular among users of Brother embroidery machines, as it is optimized for seamless integration with these devices.

1. Advanced Embroidery Design Creation:

   • Design Editing: PE-Design 11 offers comprehensive design editing tools, allowing users to modify existing designs or create new ones from scratch. You can adjust the size, shape, and stitch density of the design.
   • Auto-Digitizing: The software includes automatic digitizing tools that convert images (such as photos or logos) into embroidery-ready designs, making it easier to transform artwork into stitch files.
   • Manual Digitizing: If you prefer more control, PE-Design 11 also allows for manual digitizing. This is perfect for creating custom designs with precise stitching paths.

2. Text and Monogramming Tools:

   • Text Editing: PE-Design 11 comes with advanced text tools that let you create custom monograms and text designs. You can adjust fonts, spacing, alignment, and even add artistic effects to your text.
   • Character Styles: The software offers a variety of fonts, and users can customize them to suit specific embroidery needs. You can also import custom fonts for even more flexibility.

3. Advanced Stitch Control:

   • Stitch Type Selection: Users can choose from a variety of stitch types, including satin, running, and fill stitches. This feature ensures that the designs are not only visually appealing but also functional and durable when stitched.
   • Stitch Density Adjustment: You can adjust stitch density for optimal fabric compatibility. This is essential to ensure the design looks perfect on different fabrics and prevents thread breaks or fabric puckering.

4. Color Management:

   • Thread Color Palette: PE-Design 11 includes an extensive thread color library, allowing users to choose from a wide variety of color options to match their designs. It also supports thread brands and color matching for consistent results.
   • Color Sorting: This feature allows you to organize thread colors in your design to minimize the number of color changes during the embroidery process, which helps speed up the stitching.
