Today I just found an mobile app can open some formats of embroidery, like .dst pes and etc.
Software looks basic but let you open files, view and match some colors with most popular brands like Madeira.
You can also add hoop frame from popular machines and export all info by pdf.
I just tested here and liked. For a fair price, you can buy full version.

Sometimes is hard get full details on embroidery. The sublimation process with embroidery maybe is alternative to try give full detail on small embroidery area like hats.
Here you can see some pictures and tests for hats.
I just create a fill tatami base in white and client did a sublimation process.
Now you can see side by side. The full embroidery and the embroidery + sublimation.
Need to say thank you for Christopher Kelly for give me a change to test it!

I recently got a question about the Wilcom E4 new PhotoFlash element. Although converting pictures into embroidery with just one click may sound like a dream, the reality is that I am never really satisfied with the results.
Having said that, after running a comparison test, I can say for sure that there is a little “bird” that can pull that off better than others.
Embird Software www.embird.net has a nice plugin, Sfumato Stitch. As you can see, Wilcom can cost significantly more, but Embird wins the photo to embroidery battle.

Sometimes it is difficult to explain to the client each type of stitch used in the embroidery. So I decided to create this file and share it so that you can embroider and show it to the customer. Remember, you need add foam for last color.

You can find a good definition for Sublimation here.
Sometimes an embroidery client will need a full detailed logo, but because of embroidery limitations we need to take out some of the details. What if your client insisted on the details?
You can offer to him a sublimation+embroidery combination.

Today I will show you how create a patch using a sublimation material inside with an embroidery border. 
You will need:

• twill or a thicker material
• sublimation material (you can ask someone to print this for you)
• glue
• embroidery machine

It is important to have a cut line on your sublimation material. Once it is printed, load your embroidery software and create a file with 3 objects.

• a guide line
• a hold/tack down line 
• a cover line

In this picture you can see 3 objects side by side

After file ready. Process on machine is very simple. Check out pictures.

Now your client has a patch ready to sew on any material. And with full details inside.

Hope you like this post and can share with others.
