NOTES HOW TO GET DESIGNS TO STITCH FASTER There are always ways to edit your designs to stitch faster. For the first 5 years that I digitized, I would create a design so that it looked perfect. Then I would edit it until it looked just as good, but ran faster. I did that every time and actually timed the designs with a stopwatch. On average, I was able to get designs to run 10 percent faster after some editing. If you are running multiple pieces, this will save time and add profits. If you are only creating 1 piece, these steps may not be necessary. HERE’S HOW TO SPEED THINGS UP: 1. Add appliqué instead of using large fill areas. 2. Eliminate color changes. 3. Eliminate trims. 4. Increase stitch length on fills. 5. Use the proper amount of underlay. 6. Avoid long stitches.
