Walleye Express Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Here's the wife's first attempt at Digitizing (that is programing) an embroidery design into her sewing machine computer. She has a million designs and has sewn all my Charter Boat designs and text on my shirts and jackets, but has never tried digitizing anything. I offered one of my T-shirts as the guinea pig. There is 4 mistakes according to her in this unigue custom design that I want to incorporate into another charter logo. I could only spot one myself, but she wasn't happy with the results. So the design goes back under the knife for more modifications tonight. This Hot-N-Tot is 11 inches long and 3 inches wide. :eek:
Priority1 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 An 11 inch Tot is just the right size for those Hawgs you catch. It's a nice Logo for your shirts.
1mainiac Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Pretty cool Dan what method is she using to digitize ? I helped a couple customers set these systems up years ago when I had my computer repair business. If I remember correctly the one lady was using Coral Draw and Auto Cad as she could import easier into Coral and then export it to Auto Cad to transfer it to the machine. That was a over 10 years ago.
Walleye Express Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Jim. You might as well be talking in a foreign language to me about digitizing or how it's done. It's kinda like fly fishing for carp to me. I haven't got even the slightest ambition to learn how to do it, but I know if I ever do, somebody out there can teach me. :D According to her, each higher priced machine now comes with a program of it's own to turn designs into stitching programs. At the prices she paid for her machines, they should give foot massages while you wait.
1mainiac Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Yep Dan and the software I mentioned ain't cheap either I paid 800 for the Coral Draw program years ago and my son paid close to 3000 for his AutoCad program.
Walleye Express Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 Heres the finished product Maniac. She didn't do to bad eh?
1mainiac Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Pretty darn nice I would say should be proud to wear that one. I would get my wife one but then she would rather fish then sew so will just have to invest more in the boat.
fishsniffer Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 fyi i just bought autocad 2009 mech..and its a shade over 4000:angry2:
