Yes – I know – we all know what an image is. Then I will go into the details of how exactly you can do this type of conversion using some pretty inexpensive (and even free) embroidery digitizing software. Therefore, before I can explain why the whole process of converting an image (like a JPG) into an embroidery file (like a PES, DST, JEF, etc….) is a bit more complex than simply hitting a “convert” button, I need to clarify how images are different from embroidery files. There is a little bit to it and some images will be easier to convert into an embroidery file than others. But fair warning: converting an image (like to JPG) is not exactly like pressing an easy button.
So – get out your iPhones and snap some pics, because I’m going to show you exactly how to do it. Using inexpensive and even free software, it is indeed possible to convert an image to an embroidery file. Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to stitch out a picture of a loved one using an embroidery machine? Guess what? You actually can. Syndicated by One Source Media, Long Island City, New York
