Computer-Controlled Embroidery Machines?

Posted by Cliff on from the sewing-in-the-21st-century dept.

Togashi Heiwa asks: "I've been looking at doing some embroidery for a project I am working on (I do costumes for LRPGs, etc.), and wanted to try a computer-controlled embroidery machine. This way, I could do uniform insignias, etc. without being limited to the collection of cartoon characters & flowers that come with most machines. A brief search on the subject turns up several machines or apps that do this, but they have varying formats, and I'd like to get a technical review, as opposed to just a typical home user. Anyone have any experience with embroidery software and hardware?"

    I also needed to embroider some costumes for my friends.

    After surveying the market of machines, I decided the best thing to do is to lock myself in the bathroom, away from other people, and the internet, because the world needs less people like me.

    HTH!
