LauraYB Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I want to add stitching to my pages, both on the background and to various shapes. Will use mostly the straight stitch. I use PSE 10 and want to know what to buy: 1) Actions 2) Styles 3) Typepaths All three! Help! I'm confused! Thanks FYH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actnfunny Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 There are many ways to do it but here is my favorite, and its none of the above. Its a Dynamic Brush and you just move it along and it lays the stitches down. If you hold down the shift key it will make a straight line. If you like it a little more hand stitched looking, let it flow with your hand. Dynamic Brush Set Straight Stitch If you put "stitches" in the search on the boutique it will show you many more dynamic brushes to use as well as some png files that you can just lay on your layout. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBarnes Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 No matter how you lay down your stitches, you can enhance them with the Styles. They give them texture and shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenaLotta Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I love stitches! I do what Laura and Pat suggest: use a dynamic brush and then add a style. I bought an action on the sale but have'nt tried it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I want to enhance with styles. To a beginner I'll start with straight stitching, can you suggest a style or two? Appreciate your help.
