How to create a Sequin Design

1. Define size and shape of the sequin first

Before you start with your design, define shape and size of your sequins. This way you can already check on your screen that no stitch will be in the way of the sequin.

If you change it at a later stage, make sure and double check that no stitches hit the sequin.

The lower stitch will hit the sequin, when you see this on your screen.

Setup mask for the definition of sequins.

2. Where is your last stitch before the sequin?

The last stitch has to be “above” the sequin, so that it is in the back the moment the sequin is placed.

That means: Do not rotate sequin designs, if you for example prepare a sequin design for caps, already do the digitizing upside down. In the automatic programs you can set a so called “tolerance angle” at:

Decide first where you start to fill your object with sequins. Hanging sequins are placed from bottom to top. In BasePac Premium you are able to change the start point of an object with Icon aus BasePac 10 .

3. Take a look at the machine

Pay attention when you do the test stitch. Do the sequins “jump off”? If it is always the same sequin causing trouble, recheck your digitizing.

Are there “fishes” instead of round sequins? Reset your sequin device. The sequins were pushed forward too far.

4. Use automatic programs

BasePac Professional has an automatic sequin line program.

If the sequin program does not offer your preferred fixing method or if you want to fill an area with sequins, create your own macro with a sequin and use the Macro function Icon aus BasePac 10

5. Start your own sequin projects now

BasePac Premium allows you to place sequins individually and to activate twin sequin devices.

If you upgrade to the Professional package it allows you to place sequins on a line and to fill areas with the Macro function.

You can upgrade your ZSK embroidery machine with a sequin device now. It starts from one sequin device on needle 1 or the most left needle.

You can load your machine with up to 3 Twin sequin devices allowing you to make designs with 6 different sequin sizes and shapes.

Ask your local distributer for prices or contact us on the next show.
