Thanks to the Embroidery Pledge we now have a Brother Innov-is 750E Embroidery Machine.
How to use
Some guideline on using the machine are on the Embroidery Machine/Inductions page. Also, see the manuals linked below.
Software
The official software for the machine is available online, but costs about £400 see Software (Brother). However, there are alternatives:
PE Design
As the Maunal explains, if you are just importing and tweaking .bmp files, so you can use any image editor to make your design, then tweak it in PE Design.
Creating a .bmp
Many program can create .bmp bitmps:
- Paint.net (Windows)
- GIMP (Windows, Linux)
- MTPaint (Windows, Linux)
Other programs can export .png bitmaps which can be converted to .bmp files:
- Inkscape (Windows, Linux)
