Hello

Designs with the complexity of police badges are not exactly what you want to be trying in a program like Deco, or if you have no real knowledge of digitizing. Its possible if youre digitizing mostly manually..but you'll find extreme difficulty if youre trying to get some kind of 'output in a click'

Police badges usually require strategic changes to the art,and in many cases need to be redrawn with full modifications to be easily digitized...or a skilled digitizer is able to adjust the art onscreen.

If youre creating the actual 'art' then trying for some simplicity can help..

Quite a hot potato to have in your lap..lol. In your situation, I might suggest using an external skilled digitizer,and youre more assured of good results.

bye

Hi Jseaggart,

You can check my new website Soon for some training videos on the DecoStudio @ ES.  I am currently working on it and I'm try to add a new page once a week so I hope to have it done by no later than the end July.

My new web site will have some Tutorial Videos by July the link is www.AdvancedWilcom.com Check it out and let me know what you think and you can always email me if you have any Request.  As for the more complex designs in DecoStudio do the trouble areas with you fusion fill tool (if you don't want turning stitches just hit the space bar on your keyboard) and you may want to try and digitize in sections on an object.
