@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.

@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

Alors qu’on commençait à travailler sur notre site, on devait choisir une #typo. On avait laissé la police par défaut sur notre ancien site, la #Times, et on tenait à cette « esthétique par défaut ». Seulement… Si dans nos livres on utilise beaucoup les typos de @byebyebinary pour y intégrer des glyphes post-binaires et inclusifs, la Times, elle, n’en contenait pas.

C’est de là qu’est née la Full~Times, le fruit d’une collaboration entre la dessinatrice de caractères @ameliedumont et les éditions Burn~Août.

@mario_angst_sci this is such a nice project! If my typographies are compatible with your tool it would be great to incorporate.

You can take a look at my code here: https://gitlab.com/ameliedumont/residence-green-fabric/-/tree/main/Tricot%20machine%E2%81%84Knitting%20machine/Canvas_tricot?ref_type=heads

Also the letters set of the fonts are not complete for now, I still have to work on it

And here are pictures of the knit works made using the tool
Amélie DumontOct 23
Almost 2 years after starting it I show this: a homemade tool for knitting typography.
I first designed pixel fonts in Libre Office Calc to get letters made for knitting, as a knitting stitch is similar to a pixel in an image.
Then I developed a web tool using HTML canvas, so I could use the pixel fonts exported as images and write text with it.
Last step: the canvas with text is exported as an image, and I make a knit work out of this image with AYAB.
Still experimental but starts working fine
