Wilcom Embroidery Digitizing tutorial - Introduction to Input A

This latest in the series of videos will introduce you to the digitizing tool - Input A.

Embroidery digitizing - outsourcing justified!

Well for starters - the learning curve of a software package.

Everybody knows that technology has a biggest drawback - that is the 'learning curve', pickup a cell from Nokia or Apple or Sony Ericsson - open its box and there you will find a 100+ pages thick operation manual - to really access all the bells and whistles on your new purchase.

It is the same with every other technology - even with embroidery, first you will have to learn operating the machine, then learn about loading the designs - and if you have something that your grand children or a customer has just sketched out on a piece of paper - you will have to spend hundreds of dollars to get a digitizing software.

After you bravely do open that package that you just received - you will find another thick operation manual which will tell you how to load the software into your computer and then will give you the general directions of the tools available.

Well if you can't wrap your mind around the damn thing - then you have wasted not only your precious time but your money as well - and now you find yourself banging your head on the wall to find tutorials to learn using this software.

Is that good enough reason?

Embroidery digitizing - Is outsourcing really bad?

Do you own an embroidery business or are you an enthusiast - whether you embroider your designs on multi-head embroidery machine from Tajima, Melco, Barudan or SWF or a small Brother at home - it is a must that your designs are digitized before they can be transfered to the machine.

A big professional company might have a big in-house designing department employing designers and digitizers - but what happens if you are a small business run by the family members or an enthusiast who finds embroidering on quilts or table covers to be the best means of unwinding.
