Illustrator Thread Brushes for a Hand-Embroidered Illustration Effect

Adobe Illustrator CC Brush Libraries: The 4 unique embroidery stitch / thread styles include 122 pre-colored thread brushes EACH to cover all of your needs. Not only that, I've included a color overlay stitch that you can use in Illustrator (along with a tutorial on how to do so) to re-color any stitch if you need a slightly different color. 

Metallic Brush Collection: 7 different styles of metallic stitches, in various shades of gold, silver and rose gold, for a total of 39 different metallic stitches!

Copy and Paste Brush Charts / Art-boards: I have set up and organized copy and paste brush charts with all of the pre-colored brushes already applied to a sample stroke, as well as one for the fabric background styles for Illustrator!

READY-MADE Backgrounds for Adobe Illustrator: 20 neutral fabric and hoop backgrounds all ready to go, so that you can dive into your digital embroidery journey without having to set anything up! 

Thread styles for Adobe Illustrator: I've created subtle drop shadow styles for illustrator so that you can have EXTRA realism as you work. It's really a game changer!

Editable Digital Hoop: I've included 2 Photoshop files, which include an editable digital hoop where you can change the fabric color and style, as well as the fabric and color of the background to create your perfect 'digital' embroidery background!

Photoshop Bonus Styles: For the times when you might want to finish off a design in Photoshop, or combine it with other artwork for a mixed media piece, I've created special layer styles for the thread and stitches to give you an extra boost of realism via a subtle bevel and emboss and drop shadow! I've also created the fabric backgrounds as a layer style, which you can apply to any color to create a fabric in that color!

What version of Adobe Illustrator do I need to use the embroidery thread brushes?

You MUST have Illustrator CC to use these brushes, as they use the image brush technology.

Don't have Illustrator CC? You can download a FREE TRIAL HERE!

If you have an iPad, you can stream/connect your iPad screen to your computer via Astropad app (universal) and Sidecar (mac).
