Many people would love to create their own embroidery designs on shirts, caps, and other apparel but may not believe they have the skill or the equipment to do so. Now anyone around the world can take a simple computer design and send it to a sewing machine for embroidery on a shirt or other item. CNet reports Brother Industries Ltd has designed a new sewing machine especially for computer use and embroidery . The Innovis RC100 has a USB jack so it can connect to your computer. The USB collects and sends data from your computer and displays what you want it to output on its small LCD screen. Once you are ready for it to start, you simple press a button and the machine does all of the work.
The sewing machine comes with graphics software called Embroidery Pro Ver. 7. It will guide you through the steps of arranging images, finding the one you would like to use, make any changes to it, and then translate the image to a stitching code for the machine. The program will then send the code to the machine and it is stored on a memory card.
The downside is if you want different colours in your pattern, you will need to stop the machine and change it. You will also need to cut your threads after it's complete. If you are planning to embroider some items for a small business, the cost of the machine may be worth it. The investment you will make is $1,500.
