How do you digitize a picture into a embroidery design? Do you need any special software for this?

You have to have the designs in your computer, then you plug a USB stick into the computer, transfer them on and plug it into the sewing machine. But first you plug the new (blank) USB stick into the sewing machine, turn the machine on & the machine will format the stick properly for the tranfer. I don't do it that way, however, I have my machine plugged right into my computer using the cable that came with it.

no, you cannot scan images for this software. You need a digitalizing software and from what I have found out, several thousand dollars for it :(

You can design in Illustrator, etc. and save as a .svg file. Then import the .svg to the included software for cutting. Super easy.

I have the answer now. I purchased the machine. There is a USB port and cable, to connect from computer to embroidery machine. No special software is needed; just be sure to download images in PES format. Easy and fun!

You would either import your drawing from another program or draw it in the cameo software the machine comes with. From there the machine would cut where you tell it to.

You should be able to do that with the Sizzix Eclips plus the additional software you have to buy separately (unless you get a package that comes with it). I would suggest that you look into the Sillhouette Cameo though as I think that machine is geared even more toward what you want--it doesn't have the capabilty to use cartridges like the Eclips does, but it doesn't sound like you would use cartridges anyway--they have commercial artwork on them. It might depend on what file type your artwork is in; you'll want to check with the manufacturer to make sure the machine can do what you want it to do.

As this machine is completely computerized, it must be connected to a computer to use the Embroidery Function. I have also discovered the Computer must be connected to the machine to run the Auto-Punch program. However it can use a Stand Alone ( Non-Singer ) auto-punch program with saving the file in any of the embroidery file extensions.

If you have this program check on page 81 of the manual. It discusses outputting to a different format. That should help you and also if you want to convert embroidery designs to other formats check on page 223. The other option would be to look what Amazon has in embroidery design book by Carol _______. She gives very detailed instructions. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful but because of copyright laws, I'm afraid to copy down any/all instructions.

They have a Designio in the series that does embroidery, however, this one is not capable of embroidery except for a very basic monogram font. If you were wanting embroidery, I would select another machine. Hope this helps :)

Yes. You can create designs or edit designs that you purchase on your computer and save as a file type compatible with your embroidery machine. I use DST. I have a Brother Machine that I connect to my computer and upload the file to the machine using the cord that came with the machine.

You have to use a computer a with monitor. I purchased digital art software at around $40 also, but it _might_ work with pre-installed apps on a computer like Windows Paint.

The program converts pixels to stitches, as best as I can figure. It does not does not import as if a sketch, only as blocks. Backstitch lines can be added later.

I have tried to do this with the program. Let me be very clear this program only operates within another program already installed on your computer. I have found the Paint program to work the best. However you can find clip art from the internet and save it to your computer only if it is a PES file then open it in paint( which is what I do) . If there is a lot of detail the program will just kind of jumble it up when you try to embroider it , so if you try that I suggest very simple art without a lot of detail. Hope this helps you.

If your talking about software the machine has nothing to do with the operating system . I have a Mac so I really cannot answer the question but I cannot see why not. The machine does not come with software nor does it need any. You download clip art and other designs from the net and also Avery. Avery has tech support but as I said their not that supportive

If I'm understanding your question correctly......you would have to first copy the stitch files from the disc to your computer...then transfer the files to a compact flash card and you need a compactflash adapter to put into your machine if you shoot me an e-mail to rkellybilla@gmail.com I can send you some photos
