Design in FrameShop then bring into Trace |
|---|
Jerseys come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, and depending upon how they're folded, the jersey design can become even more varied. You can easily create a custom opening for a jersey with the minimum amount of effort. Start by laying out the openings that will make up the segments of the design. We want them to overlap a little so that we can merge them. We're going to design half of the jersey then mirror it in Trace to create the other half of the jersey. By going through these steps, you can customize the design for the particular jersey you are working on. These steps can be used to make other shapes as well, so it is not limited to just making jerseys. |
Jersey Neckline | |
|---|---|
Place a 17x17 17 x 17 one layer #402: Classic template on the mat FrameShop Design Editor. Click on the Parameters tab and change the Radius to 6. This controls the arc of the neckline. Enter 45 in the Rotation field. We now have the neckline. Move it to the top of the mat. |  |
Jersey Shoulder/Upper Arm | |
|---|---|
Bring over a 5x11 5 x 11 #101: Rectangle template. In the Rotation field, enter 28 degrees. Move it to align with the left corner of the shoulder point. |  |
Jersey Arm | |
|---|---|
Bring over a 5x8 5 x 8 one layer #101: Rectangle template. In the Rotation field, enter -42 degrees. Move the opening to align it with the lower corner of the left upper arm. |  |
Jersey Body | |
|---|---|
Bring over a 16x14 16 x 14 one layer #101: Rectangle template. Align it so that it makes the body portion of the jersey. |  |

Trace, Save, Cut | |
|---|---|
Trace the CutArt. Remember to Add a layer in the Layers section for each layer of matboard you want to trace. Click on the desired layer, select the object to trace, then select the bevel/cartridge to trace the item for that layer. Save the CutArt. You may get a message stating that this design contains objects that do not have an assigned bevel type. This refers to any leftover lines that we didn't trace. Click Yes that you wish to continue. Optionally, you can also bring the CutArt straight to the Cut Preview from Trace. The alternative jersey design is completed. |  |
