Embroidery Machine Photo Download

I've been looking in to seeing if photo embroidery is doable on industrial embroidery machines. I have a few ideas for photo graphics as embroidery designs on a hoodie. Particularly when it comes to PNG's with a transparent background so you can digitize certain parts of a photo to be embroidered. I have found that some software on industrial machines allows for you to embroider jpegs as a 4 colour CMYK process, but of course that means you'd need to stitch out the whole photo. You can see what I mean here. As an example, what I'd be looking for is just Audrey Hepburn without the black background.

I'm aware the amount of thread colours could be an issue for a full colour photo. But If I could achieve this even for a black and white PNG that would be great. Another method was to digitize the photo as a cross stitch design. I can't recall which video I saw that being demonstrated but it was also another manufacturer from China showing it on an industrial embroidery machine. It looked pretty accurate. It might have been the same process as the video above.

I also came across the Floriani Total Control Software which allows for tracing certain parts of a photo that you would like to digitize. I'm guessing that could then be saved as a working DST file which I could give to my manufacturer. Most tutorials I've found online just go through vectorizing a photo which pretty much just turns it in to an illustration. If anyone has any insight in how to digitize a transparent PNG of photo realistic objects, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have stacks of old photos in my basement from before the digital age. A couple of years ago our basement flooded and some of the pictures got wet. Luckily there are other copies floating around in the family but I just couldn't bring myself to throw these out. I scanned them into my computer and printed them on photo matte paper. I love experimenting with mixed media and embroidery so I decided to have a little fun. Maybe this will inspire a little creative mixed media project of your own. It is a great way to bring new life to an old keepsake. This would also make a fantastic and meaningful gift idea for the upcoming holidays.

I started out with several old 8 x 10 photos. Some were torn and damaged but I just scanned them into my computer and printed them out on high quality photo matte paper. It makes a nice print and the paper is the ideal consistency for embroidery. If you have color photos, you may want to consider printing them in black and white. It really makes the embroidery stand out.

I have a huge stash of ribbon bits so I searched through there to see what might look pleasing paired with my photos. You can search around for bits of ribbon or twine you may have in your stash of present wrapping supplies. There are bins and bins of these at the craft store if you don't have anything at home you are satisfied with.

I really enjoy playing with the different patterns and colors of ribbons and seeing how they pair with the photos. I find myself trying to imagine the real fabrics in the photo or what it felt like in the moment that the photo was snapped.

I got out some of my books for embroidery shape inspiration. Luckily, with the internet, there is so much visual inspiration. I take a quick browse, close the book, then start sketching with pencil on my photo.

Once I felt satisfied with the embroidered part, I sewed a pattern down the right side of the photo for some more interest. I put it in the frame to see if it felt done. It did! Someone once said to stop when you feel 85 percent finished. That little mantra really works for me since I tend towards overdoing it.

The first thing an artist has to find is the medium that feels the most meaningful to their particular hand and mind. Painting and drawing were certainly points along my path. But weaving played an even bigger role. The continuous flow of line and color appealed to me. This was even better when a sewing machine was added. Then with the addition of photography I could bring back those earlier fleeting non-judgmental moments. The camera catches a single instant when form and light converge. Stitching adds time, physicality and personal interpretation.

My process now begins with photography. I alter these images on the computer, and transfer them to fabric. Then the piece is stitched with a basic sewing machine. None of the stitching process is computerized. The stitches, which completely cover my canvas, are like pencil hatching. I lower the feed dogs so that I can move the fabric freely as I sew to achieve the length and density of stitch wanted. Different colours of thread are layered throughout each piece to enrich the colours. The stitching is so dense that none of the original image or fabric shows. The fine scale of thread is an extraordinary tool for describing detail. This has become increasingly apparent the more I work with thread, and my work has evolved accordingly.

I have taught many workshops across the United States and Canada and have taught at Arizona State University and Mesa Community College, Mesa, Arizona. My work has been in numerous books and magazines and is in numerous public and private collections including the Museum of Art and Design, NY, NY and the Denver Art Museum, Denver, CO.

If you upload a digital photograph to a compatible embroidery software, all you have to do is select the photo to embroidery design feature, adjust parameters, if desired, and watch the software digitize the photo for you.

I own a top-of-the-line Brother Luminaire, which allows you to scan in or upload a picture and create an embroidery design using Design Center. This type of digitizing has many limitations, and I prefer software.

I love your tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to educate me. My machine is older but an upgrade will wait as I process and plan, ultimately leading to digitizing my photos into embroidery designs. ?

The online digitizing tool that makes photo stitch embroidery sew files for your embroidery machine. Produces smooth blending using fewer colors by picking and mixing thread colors based on the perceived colors. Make full-color photo-realistic blended designs while reproducing small details. You can sew your photos on jackets, canvas for framing, bags, purses, and more. Create an account, upload your image, and see your free simulations.

Other systems work with photos contrast, and you pick thread colors after the system produces designs; this system is different. Thread colors get selected from a thread palette. These are compared to the photo and layered based on their perceived color, producing smoothly blended designs while achieving exceptional detail.

I used Sulky Original Metallic 143-7007 Gold for this project. I used a king size spool because I made over 15 of them, but you could use the smaller 142-7007 spool for just a few. This project was digitized for metallic thread, so it stitched flawlessly and I never broke a thread until my needle got dull (remember, I made 15 of just this version alone). But even though it was digitized for metallic thread, I slowed my machine down some.

The embroidery machine needle broke and chewed up my shirt. Did you ever have a needle break in the middle of your embroidery and have it chew up your garment? This can happen when your turn around to start hooping another garment and do not monitor the machine. While Betty, the embroidery machine operator, an excellent operator, was on the other end of the 15 head machine the needle broke on head no. 1 and it chewed up the center of 2 letters. It was sewing a narrow silver line in the center part of the letter and that section was totally chewed up! Here is a picture of the garment.

I found out where the start and stop section was in the center of the design and I put in a command so that the new section that I was creating would also start and stop in that same spot. I deleted all of the rest of the design, made sure my fixed design was also going to start and stop in the same place as the original design and then saved it as the design name fix. Here is a picture of that finished design fix from my software. You can see where it was starting and stopping from the cross hairs are and the star in the design. Betty put the hooped shirt back into the machine and taped a new piece of topping on the top. 006ab0faaa
