SewArt is an inexpensive program that allows you to create embroidery designs from both pixel-based and vector-based graphics. Before you get too far with this process, you may want to duplicate the image you plan to work with. This is because SewArt saves an image as well as an embroidery design. Sewart offers a number of tools that allow you to reduce the number of colors in your image.

I moved over to the stitch mode and starting defining the different stitch areas based on the colors I defined.
