i've been on a bit of a crafting binge lately, and just wanted to shoutout this program i LOVE for creating custom machine embroidery designs:
INKSCAPE!! it's a free vector-based graphics program that's compatible with windows, mac, and linux!
it's also great for vector-based graphics! overall incredible program, i've used it to make logos and stuff too.
but what i mostly use it for is embroidery!! there's an extension called "ink/stitch" that allows you to convert your vector files into embroidery files!!
i created this design to try and fix some holes in my jeans--didn't work too well but at least it looks cool!
it's the program i use to make patches and embroidery designs! if you're interested in making a batch of patches or making your clothes look extra cool i recommend playing around with this!! a lot of public libraries or maker spaces have embroidery machines you can use, so you can make your design in inkscape and take the file to the machine and boom!! make some cool shit!
