SVG Creation and Editing OF Line Art Embroidery Design (IMAGE TRACE NOT BEZIER)
Budget: £10 – £20 GBP
STEP 1
Create SVG file using Image Trace.
Attached black line art on a white background.
Open the PNG.
Window → Image Trace
Settings:
Preset: Black and White Logo
Threshold: 180–200
Paths: 90%
Corners: 15%
Noise: 1 px
Ignore White ✓
Click Expand.
Set the artboard to A2.
Scale the motif to:
381 mm wide
406.4 mm high
Save as SVG.
STEP 2
Edit line art svg file (leaf orientation around the side of the neck0
Correct the orientation of the leaf and vine motifs that run alongside the V-neck.
Use the original garment photograph as the reference.
Rotate and reshape the existing vector leaf groups so that the vines appear to grow naturally from the bottom point of the V-neck and flow upward toward the shoulders.
The leaf clusters should follow the neckline and sweep outward, matching the direction seen on the original garment.
Several of the current leaves are rotated too upright; these should be rotated so they point diagonally outward, following the natural direction of the vine.
Maintain smooth, continuous vine flow rather than making the leaves appear as separate attached elements.
Do not modify any other part of the artwork.
Do not change the lower embroidery motif.
Do not change the overall composition.
Do not change the motif size.
Do not add or remove leaves unless absolutely necessary to improve the flow.
Preserve the symmetry between the left and right sides.
Final artwork specifications
Final file format: SVG with editable vector paths, compatible with Adobe Illustrator.
A simple Image Trace-style SVG is sufficient. A manually redrawn Bézier-curve vector is NOT required. There is no need to optimise or reduce anchor points beyond what is reasonably produced by an Image Trace conversion.
Overall embroidery motif size: 15 inches (381 mm) wide × 16 inches (406.4 mm) high.
The 16-inch height is measured from the lowest point of the embroidery motif to the highest point of the embroidery motif.
Do not place the artwork on a single A2 artboard.
Instead, set up the artwork as two A3 artboards (or a two-page A3 PDF):
Page 1 (A3): Left half of the embroidery motif.
Page 2 (A3): Right half of the embroidery motif.
The two A3 pages must align so that, when printed at 100% (Actual Size) and taped together, they produce the complete embroidery motif at exactly 15 inches wide × 16 inches high.
Include small registration/alignment marks where the two pages meet to ensure accurate assembly.
Keep all vector paths editable and grouped logically. Do not rasterize any part of the artwork.
The objective is to make the neckline vines follow the same growth direction as the original garment while leaving the remainder of the embroidery unchanged, and to deliver a full-size print-ready pattern split across two A3 pages for easy printing and assembly.
