Anyone have any experience with this? Basically looking to take clients vector art and have it converted to a format that is compatible with a embroidery machine (client wants to do their own shirts, ect...).

looking for a company to do the conversion and give me the file. The client has some highend embroidery/sewing machine and whats to have the logo converted to a file type that is compatible with the machine...

and what's the file type they need?
- i would guess an eps can be converted by the embroidery company.bulletfactory

.art or .dst pretty proprietary stuff from what I gather...
original file (vector or raster) is only used to trace over, the embroidery file type contains alot more information regarding sticthing type, color, starts and stop, ect.
- there is no 'conversion', the art needs to be redrawnestetic

I guess I'm just trying to understand why someone would have an embroidery machine without the means of using it.
- lots of consumer sewing machines now have embroidery capabilities... not sure about the quality thoughinkpink

Sounds like you know more about it than anyone. All I know is that there are hundreds if not thousands of companies that will embroider any artwork on shirts and they don't require any special setup. Shit, a kiosk at the mall will embroider a hat from a sketch while you wait...so it can't be that complicated.

the embroidery digitizing software cost a small fortune. and yes you're correct it a lot more than just vector outlines.
any embroidery shop in your yellow pages will do it for a few.
see the discussion i posted above for more tips.
