.PE-Design 5 CD-Book

by Loes van der Heijden

Video tutorial - step-by-step Workbook - Projects CDfor version 5 of

PE-Design® / Paletté®


Upgrade for owners of previous CD Books ?

If you have the PE-Design/Palette version 4 embroidery software, you should buy my PE-Design4 CD-Book. If you have PE-Design/Palette version 5, then this PE-Design 5 CD-Book is for you and if youhave version 6 or 7, there’s a special CD-Book for version 6 (compatible with Version 7) as well.

Is it for newbies or advanced digitizers?

Again: both! If you're a beginner digitizer and new to PE-Design/Palette you will love the clear step-by-step instructions in the printable Workbook and the movies showing and explaining how to use PE-Design/Palette version 5.And, if you're an experienced digitizer and already have my previous PE-Design 4 CD-Book you will lovethe new techniques described in the printable book and shown in the movies. Many of the old tech-niques shown in the previous version 4 CD-Book will still work in the software, so with the new tech-niques in the new Version 5 CD- Book you will sort of "double" your skills.

It will be great to grow along with the software: PE-Design/Palette started back in 1996 already as agreat digitizing program and has over the years grown into the current fully professional digitizing suitethat version 5 is. The CD- Book is the tutorial that marches along with the software, and by combiningsome techniques resulting in surprising effects, the tutorial sometimes steps ahead of the software too:-) So let the new CD-Book "walk you through" the digitizing techniques.

Good news: it is both! Again a multimedia tutorial with a printableworkbook where you will find the step-by-step instructions of all tech-niques shown and explained in the movies. But this time on the CDyou will also find some ready-to-make projects, with digitizing tips,sewing instructions, and printable patterns included! So an instantway to apply your new digitizing skills in fun projects that will makegreat gifts and will inspire and dare you to digitize

Is it a Tutorial or a Projects CD ?

No, the new PE-Design 5 CD-Book is not an upgrade: it's a standalone tutorial and projects CD for ver-sion 5 of PE-Design/Palette. You don't need a previous CD-Book to be able to use this new PE-Design 5CD-Book. Suitable for beginners as well as advanced digitizers. If you already own the previous CD-Book, the new CD-Book will double your skills and the new techniques, designs and projects will let yougrow along with the software and get everything out of it.
