This is just FYI, about some advance Graphic art software.
A few weeks ago I got my upgrade for CorelDraw to version X3 (since version 13 is a marketing NO-No, it is version X3.)
Included was an advertisement for an embroidery machine software module upgrade. I looked into what they were talking about. Here goes:
Take a digital photo of something, and import it into CorelDraw.
Make the main subject (remove the rest) into a Vector Graphic image.
Modify the design as needed as a Vector Graphic image / drawing.
The CorelDraw image is ready now for sending to Printing Company for Company letterhead paper, business cards, accounting forms, and so on.
Print out image and make a large Intarsia project to hang on wall as company logo
Adjust design for smaller segmentation design for adding 1.5 inch clock for desk-set or even coffee trivets.
Send design to new embroidery CorelDraw module, and convert to embroidery machine code to drive advanced sewing machine.
Transfer embroidery file to USB memory stick (AKA Thumb Drive)
Insert memory stick into embroider machine
for example:http://www.babylock.com/sewing-embro...roduct_ID=BMP6
The fabric is held by some sort of mechanical hoops which are placed on machine and the machine moves the fabric as needed under the correct sewing needle.
Automatically sew Logo onto shirts, hats, whatever.
Seems to be many embroidery machines will take the computer memory file, some with only one needle (change thread manually) and some more expensive models have up to 8 threads.
This whole process just caught me off guard with a Gee-Whiz factor of what computer software is getting to. This is way too expensive for me, but I hope someone finds this interesting.
