Creating Stitches With Holes in Paint Shop Pro

Before beginning this tutorial you will need to review the steps in the tutorial Creating Stitches in Paint Shop Pro. You will also need to download the brushes and script included in the previous tutorial.

We will be creating a stitched looking fabric with realistic holes cut under the stitching. Your finished product will look something like this.

Step 1

Create your vector shape. Use the preset shapes and select the rounded rectangle shape. Draw out your rectangle and click okay.

Next, select your straight stitch brush and pick the color you would like for your stitching in the material palette. Run the Vector Paint script to place stitches on your rectangle.

Change your brush color to black and select the hole straight stitching brush. Reselect your rectangle in the layer palette. Run the Vector Paint script a second time.

Your image should look something like this now.

Because we would like our stitches to be on the inside of our fabric we will need to resize our original rectangle. Use the pick tool and resize your rectangle slightly larger so the stitches are now inside of instead of laying on the border of your rectangle.
