How do I find an embroidery machine that will do custom logos?
I’m looking for an embroidery machine that will do custom logos. I need to upload images (gif/jps whatever) from my PC. All it really needs to handle is one color, but the more the merrier. Would also like it to be able to do at least a couple of fonts so I can write names. Thanks!
Any embroidery machine will do what you want, but the design has to be in the embroidery format of the machine (pes, sew, hus are examples).
The machine will not recognize gif/jpg/jpg and whatever.
You will need to purchase digitizing software and then you need a way of getting the design to the embroidery machine.
The less expensive machines use a memory card for machine embroidery, which requires the purchase of a reader/writer unit and rewritable memory card. These have to be compatible with the brand/model and format of the embroidery machine. These are usually less expensive online. http://www.allbrands.com
The more expensive embroidery machines either have USB Port B (direct connect) where you have to have the PC next to the embroidery machine or both, USB Port B and USB Port A (removable flash drive/stick), which is self describing.
You can download trials and demos of the software before you purchase – the easier to use the better. However, even auto-digitizing can need tweaking. Here is one that is free during the trial stages http://www.sophiesew.com/
Visit sewing machine dealers and tell them what you want to do and they will show you what they have. Expect to pay out at least $2,000 for the entire kit and caboodle.
Or, you can buy the Brother at Walmart and the reader and card at Allbrands for a total of around $700. This how I got started – it may appear confusing, but it is not rocket science.
I think what you’re looking for is embroidery design software. All machines will embroider whatever design you feed them, as long as it’s in the correct format. But you need embroidery design software to create and save the design.
You can also find people online who will create the design for you. For example, if you put something together in PhotoShop, someone out there can turn that file into an embroidery file.
Make sense? Hope so. Good luck.
