How to use

Some guideline on using the machine are on the Embroidery Machine/Inductions page. Also, see the manuals and web-videos 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)
