Hi friends! I can't tell you how excited I am to finally bring this project to fruition, and I think now, more than ever, is a great time to release this collection, which I hope will bring you hours and hours of creativity, fun, and even a little relaxation! Funny story is I actually created this entire set of brushes in the beginning of 2016, basically FINISHED it, and set it aside until now! I spent MONTHS figuring out the perfect methods to sample images and create these realistic thread brushes, and painstakingly created this clever system of using a solid colored brush overlay system for re-coloring the brushes. It was... almost perfect! Re-coloring the brushes as you worked was effective, got the job done, and was quite a clever solution instead of creating a bunch of colors for each thread type! However, the actual 'process' of creation felt a bit too much like work, when the whole goal of this brush collection was to make it feel like PLAY... like 'real' hand-embroidery, but even MORE effortless and fantastic!

Cut to a couple of weeks ago when everyone's world was getting turned upside down. It occurred to me that it's time I should dig out this project and share it with the world! When things are stressful and full of anxiety, a lot of people turn to activities such as knitting and embroidery. It can tend to be a bit cathartic and anxiety reducing to create something with your hands. So I thought I should put my anxiety into action and finish this collection that had been gathering dust, and share a little joy with the world! However, I realized I wanted it to be 'more fun' and to bring an 'instant gratification' into the creative process for everyone as they digitally 'stitched' or embroidered! So again, I had to put my thinking cap on and think of a way to re-work the system so that almost anyone can pick up a brush (designer or not) and start CREATING some digital embroidery! So what this meant is LOTS of extra work for me, hours and hours in fact for each thread! I took the time to re-sample the brushes, carefully colorize them into the broadest spectrum of colors and hues, and make sure they wouldn't make the file size too large. So, I've been hard at work for the last couple of weeks to get this LAUNCHED and I'm so joyful to share this with the world! The end result is really delightful to play with!

These brushes work with the latest copy of Adobe Illustrator CC. What's great is that if you don't have this program, you can download a FREE TRIAL HERE! What's even cooler, is that if you have an iPad, you can stream/connect your iPad screen to your computer via Astropad app (universal) and Sidecar (mac). Stay tuned, I plan on doing some demos on my ipad! How cozy it will be to sit on the sofa and relax with some hand-embroidery using Illustrator!

While it's always nice to be able to create art physically, it's during these kinds of times when you can't run out and buy a bunch of supplies that we can really appreciate the beauty of digital creation! Being able to create beautiful designs and edit them without all the physical work -- it's really embroidery brush magic, and so much fun!

I've CAREFULLY created this collection so that even if you are not used to working in illustrator, you can really start creating right away! I put in all the extra work to create pre-colored brushes to bring delight and FUN to your creation process. Not only that, I've created a special YOUTUBE tutorial playlist, with easy to follow instructions for every topic on working with these brushes! Follow along and you will be surprised at what you can create! I will also post the tutorial videos at the bottom of this post below!

Embroidery machines require formats which Illustrator does not export. Some embroidery software can import paths from some formats which Illustrator can export. But just drawing the shapes doesn't really get you very far.

The embroidery machine is dependent upon a file which plots coordinates, in correct sequence, for each stitch. It's not just a simple matter of drawing an outline and then telling the machine to "fill it with stitches." Because there are many kinds of stitch patterns, all of varying density, the code driving the machine has to explicitly tell the machine where to insert the needle for each stitch.

I'm not in the embroidery business. But it's among my wife's pretty serious hobby habits. She's having good results with Embrillance StitchArtist. Better, in fact, than some results I've seen in projects jobbed out to commercial embroidery outfits.

(The ugly truth is, just as in sign-vinyl cutting and other NC output environments, a shop may have the best equipment and full expertise in operating it, but their "front end" staff may still have little or no expertise in vector graphics. I have seen, for example, commercial embroidery shops take the clean vector artwork supplied to them, rasterize it, and autotrace it in their "digitizing" workflow.)

Creating the embroidery-suitable artwork is straightforward for any intermediate-level user of most any mainstream vector drawing program, because you're not going to be using any software-specific "live effects" or the convoluted constructs they generate. You just need to be able to draw clean, tidy, accurate and efficient paths (don't autotrace), understand the fundamental constructs of drawing with Bezier paths (open versus closed; simple versus compound, path direction, fill rules, etc.), and otherwise bear a common-sense awareness of the physical limitations and requirements of the fabric and thread medium.

i use illustrator to create or convert vector art and save as *.eps. i have to use a CroelDRAW plug-in called DRAWings to import *.eps files in to for embroidery file creation. DRAWings will assign base fabric, stitch color, and has tons of options for stitch type, stitch patterns, underlay (bleed), thread color selections, stitch density, and file export types. Export as *.dst file and send to the embroidery machines.

Several embroidery programs can import Illustrator files. However, you then have to "digitize" these, which implies sometimes doing changes in the vector art, e.g. make stuff overlap a bit or kill too tiny vectors. Also, vectors that are not polygons or lines (e.g. objects with holes), may not always work. I.e. I found out that SVG files from the Noun Project - Icons for Everything are sometimes difficult to digitize despite their simple graphics.

PS: I am neither an expert nor related to Stitch Era, I am just updating some wiki pages and wanted to check if there was progress with converters, i.e. availability of a cheap Illustrator addon. The embroidery software situations is still bleak for people with low budgets. Computerized embroidery - EduTech Wiki .

If you use illustrator to create paths, you can use those paths, still as vectors, if you import them into inkscape and inkstitch. Thoe are free software tools to create stitch files for a lot of machines.

There are thousands of embroidery designs on the internet. But once in a while, you might get some inspiration to create one of your own, and that is where having an embroidery digitizing software comes in handy.

One of the easier and more readily available options you can use is Illustrator. But seeing that not all embroiders are technology savvy, you might need some assistance navigating your way to use Illustrator to create embroidery designs.

Computerized embroidery machines have revolutionized the way we approach fabric design, offering precision and consistency that was once hard to achieve. To function effectively, these machines require a digital image pattern, typically created from a vector image. Vector images are preferred due to their scalability and clarity, which ensures that the design remains crisp and clear regardless of size adjustments. This is particularly important in embroidery, where intricate details need to be accurately replicated on fabric. If a designer starts with a pattern in a non-vector format, they must first convert it to a vector image. This conversion is crucial as it allows the embroidery machine to accurately interpret the image and ensures a high-quality transfer of the design onto the fabric.

Computerized embroidery machines need a digital image pattern created from a vector image to work. If you have the pattern in any other format, you have to first convert it to a vector image for the machine to interpret the image and transfer it to the fabric.

Using Illustrator to create an embroidery pattern is not any different from using it to create any other image. You have to start by creating a new layer that acts as the canvas for your creativity. Once you finish drawing the image, you can follow the steps above to convert your creation into a vector image.

Converting your image into a vector image is not enough. While vector images are a great start, your embroidery machine cannot read the format. To make the embroidery image usable by the machine, you need to convert the vector image into an embroidery pattern after converting it into a vector image.

You can also choose other alternative software you can use to transform digital images into embroidery designs that works independently of Illustrator. However, like Illustrator, this software will only change the format of the graphic to a vector. You will need a plugin to make the vector image compatible with your embroidery machine.
