You Already Know This Course Works… Continue Learning How to Create Your Own Custom Embroidery Designs Today
Important: Like most people, you’re likely here because you’ve already completed Level 1 of the Digitizer’s Dream Course & seen first hand why our superior education has helped over 10,000 students learn how to digitize. If you haven’t done level 1 yet, I highly recommend that you begin there as the theory covered in that level is extremely important.
Level 2 continues where level 1 left off & focuses on the 2nd primary stitch type used in machine embroidery: the satin stitch.
Whether you want to be able to truthfully tell your family & friends “I made it from scratch”, make some extra money with embroidery, or simply better your embroidery self, the ‘Digitizer’s Dream Course’ is perfect for you! The name of our site says it all: ‘Digitizing Made Easy’.
What Exactly Does Level 2 Cover?
- You’ll learn how to digitize corners with very sharp angles: learning the theory of how to section and path an object that your software would not correctly generate.
- Unlock the mystery of why results change from screen to machine: Your embroidered designs can look so perfect on your computer screen and then end up sewing out terribly on your embroidery machine. Digitizers quickly learn the rule… “What you see on screen isn’t always what sews out” when it comes to embroidery. The key is understanding push and compensation. It will ensure you get positive results, minimize editing, and remove the need to run multiple test samples.
- You’ll learn how using proper underlay with push and pull compensation will assist in visually making your designs look perfect when they stitch out.
- You’ll learn how to create clean, crisp lettering. The mark of a good Digitizer is clean text. In this level, you’ll apply the theory you’ve learned and manually digitize lettering. You’ll understand how to map/path lettering based on the direction of the text and to join closest point between letters. Manually digitizing text will build a foundation that applies to all the aspects of manually digitizing satin stitch objects.
- Finally, you’ll apply the theory you’ve learned by digitizing three different font types. It is vitally important that we put these principles into practical exercises. This will help you not only with creating clean, crisp fonts but with all objects using a satin stitch. Logically pathing objects is one of the most critical attributes in becoming a skilled digitizer.

Digitizing Dream Course Level 2 Overview
Focusing on the satin stitch, this level will cover topics such as stitch length, densities, understanding short stitches in relation to stitch length and assessing shape angles based on the width of the stitch. Starting with basic satin stitch shapes and progressing to the most difficult ones, we’ll learn how to digitize each of them using specific tools within your software. Level 2 of the digitizing dream course includes:
- 1.5 hours of interactive video which is split into 4 bite sized video lessons taught directly in the software brand you own. These videos can be streamed from any computer or mobile device
- Digitize 11 Designs Yourself using artwork we supply. Moving from simple to more complex, you’ll digitize 12 designs with help from John so you can better understand & retain the theory taught.
- 1 Certification Lesson. This is a final ‘test’ after you’ve completed level 2. Here you’ll digitize a design completely by yourself using the theory you’ve learnt & send in your finished design to be evaluated by John personally. You’ll receive an official ‘Satin-Stitch Certificate” for completing the certification lesson.

The digitizing course from Digitizing Made Easy is the best around, without question. Start at the beginning & work your way through. It will be money well spent. I quickly grasped the software & learnt so much more, to the extent that I was able to start up my own small business.“

“Great lessons!
I am brand new to digitizing and recently purchased the interactive lessons. One of the first lessons was teaching digitizing of a floral heart – I was able to bring in the artwork, digitize the design and stitch it out on a kitchen towel! It stitched flawlessly! I am so impressed that within the first few lessons I was able to get something stitched!“
– Janet Bergeron
“Thanks to John Deer I now like digitizing more than actual embroidery
I bought the course from John & everything is explained so clearly. I learned so much. I’m starting to make my first few designs for paying customers while saving up for a bigger embroidery machine.Just start it people, you don’t know how fun it is until you give digitizing a try! You can do it!“
– Eline Ghesquiere
“John breaks it down into small sections that are easy to follow
The lessons are very informative, I would highly recommend John’s digitizing course to anyone who wants to learn to digitize. My designs have improved considerably… finally everything has come together. John teaches you the way he was taught many years ago before the age of computers & brings it into the computer age. So why wouldn’t you want to learn from the Master?“
