My wife has numerous tools and toys for making fabric and thread based products.
One of the toys is a ten needle embroidery machine.
I asked her to convert an angel embroidery file ( using Embird ) to see if I could use it on the SP5.
She sent me a SVG file and a PAT (Innova pattern file). The PAT format is Gcode without a header or trailer.
The design is copyrighted so I can not post it but here is a screen shot of Inkscape and NcViewer opened files
Embroidery designs will double back sometimes to create texture or they are poorly constructed.
The original file determines how “clean” a conversion could be. This one was very good.
- The SVG retained path definitions and color.
- The PAT is a single path ( no GO except for first line ) .
There are “jump” stitches in the design. This are transitions in the design which are hand cut off after the run. I will have to find and remove ( replace a G1 with a G0 ) these before engraving.
This should look good on acrylic.
