Course
Digitize a Rose: The Basics
Hatch Academy / Wilcom
Topic illustrationWhy we picked it
Use a rose project to study the planning of outlines and filled shapes.
Put it into practice
Break the flower into a small set of overlapping parts and predict the order of work.
Keep a useful record
Save an editable working copy and label your experiment with its intended size and material. Compare the preview with a sample before repeating the setup on a finished item. Note what changed and what remained constant so the next attempt answers a specific question. A screen preview helps with planning, while the sewn result shows how the material behaves.
