I ran test sewouts on scrap material of designs which had been digitized by others for months before I ever got to do any digitizing, and that experience helped a lot! In fact, if you came to me with an experienced embroidery machine operator and an experienced digital artist I would always pick the machine operator to train in digitizing learning software is a lot easier than learning what makes good embroidery good and what makes bad embroidery bad. If you have no experience with how thread interacts with different fabrics during the embroidery process, digitizing for it is going to be a lot more difficult. Also, Wilcom has an add-on module with vector drawing and manipulation tools, for those without Illustrator.Ī word of caution for anyone looking to get into digitizing: thread is not ink, which is good but it is also bad. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve copied an object from Illustrator/pasted it directly into a Wilcom file. Just as one simple example it took pulse until maybe version 12 or even version 14 to finally include a “CTRL+P” shortcut for printing, which is something even MS Paint has! Anyway, if plug-in is that expensive just get Wilcom- is fully capable of working with vectors from Illustrator. Once I heard this, I immediately lost all my excitement have worked with pulse and found it to be poorly designed and inferior to Wilcom in all important categories, most significantly in poor stitch generation(essential part of vector-based digitizing software) and terrible efficiency. ai embroidery plug-in was based on the Pulse digitizing software made by Tajima. When I first heard of that plug-in, I was very excited! I have been using Illustrator and then digitizing for years, using a variety of software but mostly Wilcom. *Not associated with /r/MachineEmbroidery This may be updated at any time, so please stay familiar with the sidebar :) Please report any posts that you feel are inappropriate or break these "rules."
