Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply fundamental digitising techniques to artwork for computerised embroidery production.
The unit of competency applies to a range of digitising techniques using industry standard software to convert artwork from images to production of embroideries to industry standard. It includes use of manual and automatic digitising techniques, documenting and storing images, and producing samples to confirm result meets artwork specifications.
Work involves liaison with specialist embroiderers and digitisers. Work may be conducted in a variety of environments, such as operational workplace activities, or home-based activities.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
