Is there a way to scan artwork and have it made into patterns for embroidery sewing ?

I understand some machines have software programs this can be done but I am wondering which ones
or if there is other ways.

Setting up artwork for machine embroidery is one of several processes called 'digitizing'. This is what I do all day for a living; it's also my passion.
The software for embroidery setup is specific to the industry, so there's no photoshop filter or plugin to let you do this in photoshop or something like that. The art is scanned/resized/prepped and then you bring it into the embroidery software. Once there, you are basically tracing it in shapes that are 'stitch areas'; vectors similar to Illustrator.
So...
A few ways to do this:
1-take the art to your local embroidery/screenprinter (NOT an EmbroidMe franchise; they do poor work and suck for other reasons, too)
they will set it up and sew it on items you order thru them or bring in.
2-find a site online and send them your artwork; they will send you a file (request .dst format- is most versatile) which you email to your local embroidery/screenprinter, they will sew it on items you order thru them or bring in.
3-Contact me thru my profile page; I freelance and will give you a quote if you send the art/link to it
4- don't even bother with trying to find software to do it yourself; it has taken me almost a decade to get where I am skill-wise; this is harder than it looks!

Remember!
*It's the opposite of screen-printing for pricing-
screen-printing is priced based on color, but going larger is no problem
embroidery is based on stitch count of finished design. So you can have many colors but the size will be limiting factor as stitch count increases w/size
*don't skimp/cut corners; you will notice the difference in quality and NOT be happy!
*wouldn't recommend any of the cheap digitizing sites; would only recommend fastembroiderytapes.com -I don't send anything out to sites as I am fully capable of handling any setup that comes across my desk, but if I had to, it would be to them.

contact me for more details; below is link to samples of my setups...

Do you recall sitting at your school desk that had been used by countless kids before you? You can see names scratched on the surface going back 50 years or so, heart shaped ink blots, dribble stains of yesteryear. Then you feel the pain of trying to absorb the meaningless data, the blackboard filled with hieroglyphics that only professors could read or understand.

Most of you were slouched over the desk as the teacher droned on endlessly, your thoughts darting elsewhere. Looking around the classroom you see a few of your buddies with their eyes closed, some doodling on their scrapbooks, others in a deep trance. Is this all about education you ask yourself? You begin to think it is so much more fun playing football so why is learning so very boring when you see absolutely no need to learn all about the vivisection of frogs legs, you think "When will I ever use this knowledge? Besides, I can find all this in an instant on my iPod if I need it."

We all seem to lack basic knowledge, and worse, basic answers to common questions so essential to everyday life. We are caught in a stimulus-response culture with no real thought of creativity until we wake up to how stagnant and uncreative the education system we have blindly followed for decades. It is high time the education system woke up to NCLB (no child left behind) which has to be changed or scrapped before closing the so-called "under performing" schools.

Learning by rote is out, consulting the students' understanding is in if teachers desire educated kids!

All schools, public or private, have to be totally restructured and we start with teacher recruitment. How are they recruited, retained and paid? Discrimination is alive and well, not everyone has a right to teach or even to basic education which is hard to believe, so please check it out, you will be astounded.

The following is vital for future generations; more bucks for innovation, for new ideas, real accountability with proven results, diversity of curricula and to encourage passion, drive and enthusiasm - teachers must have a love of future generations.

We talk about education costs and if we cut back any further the end result will be devastating, the US becoming a third-world country? Ha! Wait and see if nothing is done very soon as we all become robotic, and more like sheep!

Have a look at the current education stats, one in every four child leaving school is illiterate. And it will get worse, a lot worse. Man's greatest disease is ignorance followed by laziness and both of these are basic attitudes like wearing a coat - you can either leave it on or take it off, the choice is always yours.

Do you want to be wearing this season's trends whilst staying stylish and not be a fashion victim?

The only way to achieve this is to be conscious of your body shape and dress accordingly. So here are a few guidelines on how to wear some of this season's trends.

COLOUR - Wearing the right colour can takes years off. So what do you do when this season's colours aren't right for you? Well no  need to worry this Spring and Summer as there is a shade in the trend for everyone:-

* All shades of green - these range from lime green to chartreuse. Lime green compliments women with colouring that is light, warm and bright (think Cameron Diaz) and chartreuse compliments deep, warm and muted colouring (think Jennifer Lopez).

*All blues worn together - these are more of a cool colour. Light shades of blues are best for light cool complexions such as Sienna Miller and deeper shades for deep cool complexions such as Oprah Winfrey.

*Neon Brights - these only look good on women with bright colouring. Hot pinks look good on women with a bright deep cool colouring (think Liz hurley and again Oprah Winfrey) whilst corals and limes look good with bright light warm colouring (think Kate Winslet and again Cameron Diaz).

*Nudes - these suite women who have a more muted look i.e. their hair, eyes and skin tone are similar (think Twiggy)

FABRICS/DESIGNS & PATTERNS - consider your body shape and proportions when choosing fabrics, designs and patterns.

* Fabric trend is sheer fabrics layered, metallics, and crumpled fabrics . If you have a curvy figure wear sheer fabrics soft layers, for a straighter boyish figure wear tauter fabrics. In metallics, a soft fabric which drapes will suit a curvy fabric, a taut fabric such as leather or gabardine (for a gold trench coat) will suit the straighter body. Remember for metallic colours, cool complexions should opt for silver whilst warm complexions should opt for gold, bronze and copper. bright metallics are for bright colouring and dull for the muted colouring. Crumpled fabrics tend to be taut so will look good on the straighter boyish figure.

*Pattern trend is florals (mixing different floral patterns together), animal prints and butterflies take over from the star pattern of 2008. The placement of the pattern depends on what you want to bring attention to. If you have large hips you will probably not want attention drawn to this area, therefore the pattern should be on the top half in order to draw the eye away from the hips.

* Design trend is heavy embroidery, beadings, large ruffles, sequins, bows and the trendiest of all - fringing. Remember these will add bulk and will draw the eye to that area.

BELTS - Wide belts are the trend especially the Japenese style Obi belt. This belt looks good on long waisted (i.e. a long torso) women but will only emphasise a short torso on a short waisted women. It is best to go against the trend and wear a thin belt or no belt at all.

JEWELLERY - The trend is big, but remember to wear only one large statement piece unless your bone structure is large. If you have angular facial features, choose jewellery with angular details e.g. squares, traingles. If you have softer contoured features, choose circles and ovals for the detail. Also consider your face shape when choosing jewellery.E.g a round face will look good in longer earrings as they will lenghten the face, round earrings will only emphasise the roundness of the face.

TROUSERS - harem pants, jump suits, high waisted and acid washed jeans. Harem pants will emphasise the hips and bottom and so can give a straighter figure the illusion of curves, Jump suits will look good on curvy figures in billowing fabrics, for straighter figures a tauter fabric is best. High waisted trousers and jeans will keep the stomach in. Acid washed jeans are probably only for the younger women.

DRESSES - asymmetrical designs, body con, fringed and metallic grecian goddess gowns. Asymmetrical (single shouldered) dresses are for the angular body with great straight shoulders to show off. Body con dresses - well you either have to have the slim figure for it or a pair of magical undies to hold everything in. Fringed dresses are the trendiest and with the right fringing can hide the stomach.

SHOES - Nude colours, metallics, animal prints and neon colours. High heels will lenghten the legs. Also the same coloured tights (e.g. nude shoes with nude tights) will make the legs appear longer.

Counted Cross Stitch is a great relaxing hobby, and has been around for a very long time.

You can purchase kits, that come complete with threads, stamped cross stitch fabric, and instructions, or you can create your own.

Cross stitch, is creating a picture using a cross stitch or counted "X"'s. It is easy to learn, and once you have it mastered, you can take it anywhere.

Traditionally, cross-stitch was used to decorate items like dishcloths, household linens, and doilies, and was taught to young girls, along with embroidery and other needlework. They would start their hope chest with these items from a very young age.

Although most cross stitchers, prefer to use it to create pictures that can be framed. The fabric consists of tiny holes that can be counted, and that is why it is called "Counted Cross Stitch" you basically stitch a "X" into each of these small square holes, with different colored threads.

You can also draw your own pictures on the cloth and get creative with color. There is no limit. There are many instructions books that teach you to cross stitch, but I found a video to be the best way to learn. It feels more hands on, than pictures in a book.

With all the great products and kits on the market now, you can create some very one of a kind art with cross stitch. Put with the right frame, this can be stunning. If you are a beginner, start with a simple cross stitch kit, and once practiced, move up to more detailed ones or create your own works of art.

Cross stitch is like painting a picture with thread.. it is beautiful.

There are a variety of Bernina sewing machines that will surely capture your fancy, not because they're very affordable but because they're loaded with all the features you're looking for your Bernina.

Nevertheless, there are a few that stand out. In order for you to know which of them are worth your every penny, make sure that they have the following features:

For your sewing or quilting machine:

Bernina Stitch Regulator
This mechanism makes quilting so much easier. The presser foot makes sure that you can create uniform length of your stitches, no matter the speed of your will be.

A good example of a presser foot is the one you can find in Artista 730. It can even create zigzag stitches for you without any hassle.

Large color display
The touchscreen display allows you to navigate through the menu with ease. You can also orient yourself with the different functions of each of components of your Bernina sewing equipment by simply pressing few buttons on the screen.

You can also easily customize the various patterns in your sewing machine. You can resize them, choose the stitches you want to use, or even change the font and color.

This is a good way of coming up with your own embroidery design even if you're actually running out of your own ideas.

Stock embroidery designs
If others have only less than 100 embroidery designs to choose from, with your Bernina sewing machines you have definitely more than that. As they say, you can be as creative as you like when you have a Bernina.

You can also freely edit and combine these designs so you can create your very own Bernina embroidery or quilting design.

If you worked with manual sewing machines before, then you perfectly understand the struggle that goes with having to do everything basically on your own. You'll be the one to make some adjustments on the length and width of your stitches.

It's no wonder why you need to practice some more before you can actually perfect the craft. Bernina sewing machines, however, can relieve you with all the trouble through their multifunction buttons.

One of the most popular line of Pfaff sewing machines is the Creative Vision. As what is name implies, you can dream as much as you want and make them all come true with the help of your well-loved Creative vision model.

Unlike other sewing machines that are available in the market today, a Pfaff sewing machine is known for its simplicity and minimalist design. Thus, it does look like a real breath of fresh air right at your own home.

Yet you would be truly surprised on how you can squeeze in all of the latest technology in a very small and handy sewing machine . Perhaps it's one of the secrets of Pfaff: they can give you what you want in a very interesting and unique way.
