New Aproach

 

We suggest a new approach to the process of digitizing.

A complete set of modern drawing tools is at the user's disposal, so that you can easily create most accurate designs.

You can work either on scanned images or on vectorial images exported from the most common graphics programs. There is, of course, the possibility of choosing the traditional way: drawing and digitizing on a digitizer board.

Easy to use

 

To ease our users' work, we have inserted an on-line manual. Function parameters are easily understandable and clearly visualized. With the help of the smiley you know at any time whether the parameters you are using are correct.

There is also some information available on fill density, suggested stitch type, etc..

The program automatically saves the design you are working on at any modification so that you don't run the risk of losing your work.

Precision

 

Stilista 2000 can manage up to 30,000 meters wide designs; embroidery coordinates are stored in microns (the thousandth part of a millimeter). If you aren't sure the program can support all your needs, consider that you can produce designs containing as many stitches as you like (we mean some millions). Besides, you can insert up to 64,000 orientation lines in one single fill area, to make the stitches go exactly where you want them to.

Fantasy

 

For those who have a bent for technology

For those who think fantasy is more important than techinque, in 1990 GMI has created the special coloured stitches, which are GMI's exclusive up till now.

You can give free to yor immagiation in many ways; through our complex fills, 3D effects, PhotoStitch and much more.

3D Special Effects

 

You can apply 3D special effects to all objects, blocks or the whole design, modifying either the stitches or the source lines; in the last case the stitches can be completely recalculated. After transforming an object you can add a cutout line to shape the filled area (17).

 

 
   
3D effects like wave (18), slant, sphere, perspective, etc. can be applied also to letterings.

By using "Insert stitch boundary" tool, you can apply a tridimensional effect to any contour.

 
 
Main Features  
Optional automatic point ricalculation on the source and/or elaborated embroidery, to obtain an embroidery without defect.
You can add more effects to obtain a complete personalization.
Easy to use: each function has a corresponding graphic icon.
You can apply all the effects to any part of the embroidery (letter - any embroidery function - block).

Advanced Digitizing

 

Why do we describe working with Stilista 2000 as "Advanced Digitizing"?
 
Because you can create your embroidery by means of the graphic tools used in the most common vectorial graphics programs.



Because the program automatically recognizes the objects in vectorial images.  
 
 

  Because the program automatically recognizes the contours of the areas to be filled even when the image is dithered.

Moreover, you can easily recognize the contours of a photographic image having many shades
 
 
  Because the program can hide shortened stitches in filled areas and adjust the shortening rate of stitches to obtain a perfect filling even on sharp curves.  
 
  Because the program uses up to 10 different types of underlay stitches and up to 20 combinations of them. Three of them are expansion underlay stitches, which means that they start from the center of the area and make their way to the border. As a consequence you can easily fix even the most "nervous" materials, such as wool, lycra, sponge, etc., without wrinkling them.  
 
Because fill density can be automatically varied when the stitches become too short or when you want to obtain a shading effect (1).
 
Because also the quality of "standard" fills has been improved in Stilista 2000
 

Several effects can be applied to each fill area: jagged and E-stitch (3); needle penetration lines to obtain the effect of leaf veins (4); border-to-border subdivision into any number of stitches (2); bundle effect (5).
     
     
Because in this version of the program we have created new types of fills: 380 carved satin fills with multiple orientation lines (6); fills in which stitch orientation follows a curve (7); linear fills (8); combined fills (9); concentric fills, also with special stitches, suitable for Cornely machines (10); fills with multiple effects (11);  
 
 
  Because we have implemented contour cloning, which enables you to modify and recalculate several objects in a single action. For example, in an appliqu¨¦ you can change the edging stitches and the running stitch at the same time.


 
'line special stitch' fills with more than one orientation lines and hidden areas (12); 'line special stitch' fills with different orientations (13); expansion 'special stitch' fills with empty and hidden areas (15) and with multiple aligned colors (16, 17); standard fills with empty and hidden areas and multiple orientation lines.

Personalization

 

If you aren't completely satisfied with the program because, after all, it's not designed around you, cheer up: Stilista 2000 not only enables you to create your own special stitches and your own fills but can also be personalized to fit your needs by automating the functions you often use.

If you happen to need the exact density, stitch length etc. for a filled area or for a small writing, you will find these parameters already set and ready to use. You can choose them automatically according to the type of material you are working on, the type of stitching or the writing size.

Running Sitches

 

 
The drawing tools we have implemented make it easy to create most complex running stitches, without worrying about the digitizing sequence.
 
  You will also be able to repeat and branch any running stitch perfectly over the existing outline.

Online Editing

 

Easy and Fast Editing System

You can modify the design outlines and parameters whenever you want: move, enlarge, reduce, cut, copy, and paste any object, block, or the whole design. The stitch recalculation is always perfect even when you enlarge the design by 300% or reduce it by 90%.
 
   
Object-oriented editing
By a simple DRAG-AND-DROP action you can copy the parameters of an object to another or change its sequential position.
 
   
Source lines
Vectorial source lines in your design can use up to 5 different types of nodes. You can insert source lines in nine different ways, which can be completely automatic, semi-automatic or manual. The manual insertion of an outline can use eight different tools. Of course, you can use a combination of them.

Utilities

 

Stilista 2000 is supplied with many different utilities which allow you to directly interface embroidery machines, create punched tapes, write disks in any machine format and print detailed embroidery worksheets reporting operative sequences, thread consumption values, etc..
 
   
Different versions for different needs

With a view to satisfying every user's needs, we have conceived different versions of the program, each with a different price (ten levels and several options are available). In this way we are sure we can meet any requirement.
 
   
Technical assistance agreement

Thanks to the technical assistance agreement we propose, our customers are guaranteed:

steady updating of the program to its latest revision.
prompt technical support on embroidery techniques, PC use, computer graphics, Internet, etc..

Design Archieves

 

By using the archiving system of Stilista 2000 you can save your designs on the hard disk and later retrieve them through icons or customizable search criteria (embroidery type, client name, collection type, date of production, etc.).  
   
Clip Art
  We have inserted some tutorial designs together with the images used to digitize them. Since these designs have optimum fill and running stitch parameters you can use them as a reference. You can also insert them in your own designs, freely.
   
True View
 
Besides showing the exact thread dimension, the simulation of the finished embroidery in Stilista 2000 visualizes and prints sequins in their different shapes and colors. The function is available at any stage of the embroidery creation.

Laser

 

Laser cutting tool
Stilista 2000 can pilot the laser-cutting tool of any existing embroidery machine or plotter. Through this tool, it's also easy to have the fabric cut at any distance from the embroidery border.

Lettering

 

Through the built-in lettering system you can insert writings in your design. Lettering in Stilista 2000 is easy to use and writings can be manipulated just like any other object, as if you had punched them yourself.

It is also possible to modify any writing character, apply 3D effects, change any fill of a character, and even create new fonts. The program can therefore manage fonts of any dimension.
