Amélie DumontThis is my new laptop sleeve with a stroke font lettering designed on https://www.turtlestitch.org/. Then I could export the code into a file for a digital embroidery machine. And I am happy with it 🧵
lee@ameliedumont thanks for the tip on TurtleStitch! I'm looking to see if I can get access to a digital embroidery machine at my college. Would love to try this.
@exquisitecorp you're welcome. The tool is really nice for education as it is based on Scratch

This is so cool!
Can you give me a hint as to which machines can be used? (My school doesn't have any, and neither do I, but I'd like to look into it!)

I've already found a list.
Leaving it here in case anyone else is interested.

@esthi Hey thank you! I go into fablabs who have embroisery machines when I need to use one. The important parameter if you want to make embroideries from Turtle Stitch as I did is to check if the embroidery machine can read .DST files (file format exported by TS). I already made it with Brother and Tajima machines, other brands might work too.

Good to know, thank you!😎

Hi Amelie, very nice work. 💗
What material did you use for the sleeve, is it felt? And did you share the project on turtlestitch?

@makeratschool hello! Yes exactly it is felt. I did not think about sharing my project on the turtlestitch website if this is what you mean, but that's definitely something to do
