Embroidery software and format

The world of machine embroidery makes a distinction between people who create designs from A to Z and those who only modify details (size, position, rotation, colors). There are very few cheap, high-level design software out there, and the vast majority only run on Windows. It's hard to get information on such software and we couldn't find any serious comparison other than this one from a manufacturer, which disappeared from their site. A viewer/transformer/converter to import, view, adapt (a bit) and transcode a machine embroidery file. There is free software that does this, for example WILCOM TrueSizer or MyEditor A plotter (vectorizer) for translating a raster image (*.jpg, *.png, etc.) composed of color pixels into a vector (manipulable shape). This kind of functionality is available in almost any drawing software, for example Inkscape. This tool should also make it possible to reduce colors, eliminate small areas, etc. of a raster image. Image processing software like the free GIMP can also reduce colors. A vector graphics editor to create and/or adapt imported vector drawings. A vector object consists of either just a stroke, just a fill, or both. The editor should allow you to adjust colors, shape, rotation, position, line width, etc. It should also include smoothing and additive geometry operations. Since we can import vector drawings, we can at the limit do without them, but that makes the work more complicated. A digitizer (digitizer) to translate a vector design into configurable embroidery objects. Here is an example: A thick line around a circle is a drawing object, a satin border around a circle is an embroidery object. An embroidery object editor, operating on similar principles to the vector editor, but also allowing detailed configuration of stitch generation (density, type of embroidery, pattern, underlays, color, borders, etc.) A stitch editor (for embroidery plan generated from embroidery objects or for embroidery packages imported with a machine file) A lettering module to create lettering directly, from fonts already digitized into embroidery objects. Good software integrates these modules seamlessly and offers additional functionality, e.g. management of yarn palettes, hoops, pull/push compensation for fabrics, photo transformation, etc. It should be able to export an embroidery plan for any machine format. The only affordable software in this category are Stitch Era and Embird. Stitch Era is available for rental (a basic version at $36/2 months, a full version for $192/year) and can be obtained for free for education under certain conditions. The only interesting free and open source solution at the moment (May 2018/February 2021) is the Inkstitch extension for Inkscape, for which we wrote a tutorial. Inkstitch is more difficult to learn than software intended for the general public since you have to learn a lot of features of the Inkscape drawing software. In a context of education in computer tools, this does not pose a problem, since learning technical drawing software is part of the desired ICT knowledge. Knowledge of Inkscape will also be useful for laser cutting, logo design, etc. The best-known embroidery software editor is Wilcom, notably for its professional E4.5 product or more recently the semi-professional Hatch. Their products seem to be popular in education (also according to their site), however, we didn't test them because a Wilcom salesman decided we weren't worthy of being customers. Wilcom is also at the origin of several software sold by the manufacturers. Embroidery software can be classified according to nine "modules": Work with raster and vector images (import, edit, and scan both types of formats) Geometric primitives. Modifying and arranging objects (essential functions for digitizing and editing embroidery objects) Lettering and monograms Rows of stitches (fill, outline, compensating stitches, underlay stitches, jump stitches and break stitches) including parametrization, conversion, etc. Applied Traverse objects (examine sequences of objects, see objects by color, etc.) Embroidery visualization (realistic (3D), with rows of stitches (2D), with lines (without stitches), and with stitches Read the full article

Overeenkomsten voor uitgifte e-paspoorten ondertekend

De regering van de Republiek Suriname heeft twee overeenkomsten ondertekend om over zes maanden e-paspoorten te introduceren op de Surinaamse markt. De ondertekeningsceremonie van de regering, het Vlatacom Instituut Doo Beograd, de OESD International GmbH en de Finabank N.V. vond op vrijdag 28 juni 2024 plaats in de vergaderzaal van het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, International Business en Internationale Samenwerking (BIBIS). De twee overeenkomsten gaan over de ondertekening van het hoofdcontract voor uitgifte van elektronische paspoorten en de ondertekening van het financiële contract. Het hoofdcontract is getekend door de vertegenwoordiger van de regering, de minister van Binnenlandse Zaken, Bronto Somohardjo en de Senior Government Program Manager van OESD International GmbH Gorge Carvalho. Het financieel contract is ondertekend door minister Somohardjo, dhr. Carvalho, de vertegenwoordiger van het Vlatacom Instituut Doo Beograd, dhr. Bosko Bozilovic en de president van Finabank Eblein Frangie. Directeur van Binnenlandse Zaken, Mohamad Nasier Eskak, beschouwt de ondertekening van de twee overeenkomsten als een uiterst belangrijke stap om het reizen voor de Surinaamse burger wereldwijd aanzienlijk te vergemakkelijken. Dit markeert tevens een verdere vooruitgang van Suriname in het beter afstemmen op mondiale vereisten, om ervoor te zorgen dat het Surinaamse paspoort een document is dat overal te vertrouwen is. “Het document zal goed beveiligd zijn met veiligheidskenmerken dat zeker in alle uithoeken van de wereld aanvaardbaar zal zijn. Suriname sluit zich hiermee aan bij ruim 150 landen over de hele wereld die al gebruik maken van e-paspoorten. Zes maanden na vandaag kunnen we al gebruik maken van de eerste e-paspoorten”, benadrukt Eskak. Volgens Gorge Carvalho, Senior Government Program Manager van OESD International GmbH OESD, zal dit project echt een succes worden. “Ik denk dat er een perfecte bruiloft komt tussen mijn organisatie, de Surinaamse regering en partners Vlatacom en Finabank. We leggen Suriname -dat doen we allemaal met onze klanten- neer bij de overheden waarmee we samenwerken. Eigenlijk zijn wij al een partner van Suriname en leveren wij al ruim 15 jaar postzegels. De boodschap die ik van ons management en ons bestuur wil overbrengen is dus dat we ons volledig inzetten en er zeker van zijn dat dit project een succes zal worden”, benadrukte Carvalho. Zijn partner Bosko Bozilovic, vertegenwoordiger van het Vlatacom Instituut Doo Beograd, gaf in zijn toespraak aan verheugd te zijn dat de Surinaamse regering heeft besloten met zijn bedrijf verder te gaan. Het Vlatacom Institutuut is geen onbekende in de Surinaamse natie. “Wij hebben de e-ID- en e-rijbewijzen geïntroduceerd. Nu zullen we e-paspoorten introduceren en dit alles samen aanbieden aan de burgers van Suriname met de beste service”, merkt Bozilovic op. Eblein Frangie verzekert het publiek dat zij die moeten betalen voor hun e-paspoort, kunnen rekenen op uitstekende service van de bank en goede betalingsmogelijkheden. Hij uit zijn grote tevredenheid over de betrokkenheid van de bank bij dit project voor de implementatie van e-paspoorten. Minister Somohardjo benadrukte in zijn toespraak dat de regering zich inzet om ervoor te zorgen dat alle Surinamers gemakkelijk kunnen reizen. “Ondanks de moeilijke situatie in het land”, zegt de bewindsman, “gaat we de goede kant op.” Volgens de minister is het een historisch moment: “Het belangrijkste is dat we niet alleen het biometrische paspoort hebben, maar dat we er ook voor kunnen zorgen dat onze mensen kunnen reizen”, merkt minister Somohardjo op. Hij hoopt in december het eerste paspoort te kunnen overhandigen. Read the full article

Machine embroidery textiles, threads and needles

1 Introduction Digital embroidery must take into account a lot of physical constraints: The type of fabric the type of wire The effect of the shape of the embroidery on the fabric The three biggest problems with embroidery are puckering (fabric is warped), poor fabric coverage (you can see through an area of ​​embroidery when it was not planned) and misalignment (objects that should touch do not touch each other). Good strapping and the use of an appropriate stabilizer, as seen above, reduces this risk. On the digital level, the quality of an embroidery also depends a lot on the design and the digitization. To avoid misalignment, it is necessary in particular to compensate for the pull/push effect (distortion effects during embroidery) and sometimes to overlap the edges of the objects in the design software as we will see in other tutorials. However, let's first look at the physical factors that go into achieving beautiful embroidery: What type of wire to choose? How do the different types of fabric behave? Which type of needle is appropriate for which type of fabric? What are the types of filling and how to configure them? Are there differences between machines and software? How to determine if the thread tension is correct? This article will mainly give an overview of the choice of yarn, needles, but we will also briefly touch on other aspects. 2 embroidery threads The most popular embroidery threads are made from viscose (also called "artificial silk") or polyester. A 40 weight polyester or viscose yarn can be used on both fine fabrics like silk and rougher/heavier fabrics like jeans or leather. Polyester is easier to use and more durable than viscose, but a little less pretty. The threads can also be made from other materials such as wool, cotton (in several variants) as well as various mixtures of materials such as metallized polyester. There are several thread thickness metrics and none are really intuitive to understand. In trade, a system of weights (Wt.) is generally used. Some standard weights: 75 = very fine, for example for monograms on silk ties, 60 = fine, e.g. for delicate fabrics and small letters, 50 = medium fine, for medium weight fabrics, 40 = for standard fabric, the most popular weight, 30 = slightly thick, for filling larger areas, quilts, cross stitches, 12 = thick, decorative stitches, "handmade" embroidery A typical embroidery consumes approximately the following amount: 1000 stitches ~= 5.0 m for (top yarn, size 40) 1000 stitches ~= 3.5m (bobbin thread, size 60) A crest (Engl. "patch") at 10000 points, therefore partially filled, therefore consumes about 50m. With a 1000 meter spool, you can embroider 20 patches. A reel of 1000 costs between 2 and 3 euros, a reel of 5000 around 9 euros. That is, the cost of thread is quite negligible for small embroidery. Pricing Practices for Embroidery mentions the following to calculate a price: $1.5 for 1000 points $60/h to digitize Then, you have to add either a minimum price (to make the very small embroideries profitable) or a minimum order threshold. You can also charge a fixed price for strapping and ordering. This can vary between $5 and $10. The systems used to calculate prices can be much more complex. They take into account the number ordered, the size (the smaller the more the price/item and expensive), color change, number of colors, type of fabric, specialty fabric for badges or appliqué, etc. There are online services and software (for a fee) to calculate prices and create offers. Most software also offers features to create forms. Each brand has its own color numbering system and this greatly complicates the management of embroidery designs. These colors do not appear to be based on any other base system. Some brands provide equivalence tables with the Pantone color chart, popular among graphic designers and in the textile and plastics industries. However, the Pantone system includes thousands of colors while yarn manufacturers only have hundreds. Finally, it is almost impossible to find tables of correspondence between digital colors (RGB, HSL, etc.) and thread colors. In summary, it's almost impossible to know what a brand's color looks like without having the yarn in front of you. And without a Pantone color chart it is difficult to identify it. Because color charts found online are unreliable due to differences in screen calibration, good quality printed versions must be ordered. Refer to the Links section at the end of this article for some RGB/Pantone conversion charts. In machine embroidery, we generally use needles H-E or H between 70 and 90. The Elna 8300 manual specifies that a 75/11 needle should be used for fine fabrics and a 90/14 needle for medium fabrics to heavy. The needle type recommended by the Brother PR1050X manual is Organ's HAX 130 EBBR, available in sizes 65/9, 70/10, 75/11, 80/12 and 75/14. Schmetz needles of the 130/705 H-E system can be used as replacements. Most typical needle for embroidery ("family" and semi-professional machines like the Brother PR) Needle for embroidery and sewing machines 4 Types of fabrics and fibers The fabric has a decisive impact on the result of an embroidery. This is why the choice of fabric must be considered according to the desired result, bearing in mind that certain types of fabrics are more difficult to embroider, since they are stretchy. The stretch fabric can be stabilized in several ways which can be combined: By using a stabilizer (cf. Hoops and stabilizers in machine embroidery), By using an appropriate underlay, When embroidering in different directions As soon as you embroider large surfaces, you can observe an inevitable contraction of the threads and which can lead to the appearance of "white" between the embroidery elements, and this despite a good stabilization strategy. This is remedied by two tactics: By using traction compensation, i.e. we enlarge the embroidery by 1-3mm or a small percentage. By overlapping the elements. Other fabrics such as bath towels and fleeces have the problem that fine grain seams can visually "wash out" i.e. the fabric is not covered by the embroidery. In this case, the use of a soluble stabilizer on top makes it possible to alleviate the problem. The most common fabric types are: canvas, cotton, corduroy, denim, felt, leather, nylon, lycra, wool knit, terry, twill, woven. It is advisable to start with well-woven cotton or canvas to start. That said, you can easily do a little embroidery on any flexible fabric if it's stabilized. To know: software like Stitch Era - machine embroidery software and hotfix can adjust parameters (in particular density and compensation) to the type of fabric chosen (Embroidery -> Material or in the Art-to-Stitch pop-up, Stitch Settings panel). There are also specialized fabrics to create patches (crests). These fabrics are non-woven and thick and therefore do not move. Some are "structured", like STEP polyester, that is to say they look like an embroidery pattern and allow you to avoid embroidering large areas of background, the result of which would not be so convincing. Additional Information: To find out which stabilizer to use with which fabric, read Machine embroidery hoops and stabilizers, which stabilizer for which fabric To find out which needle to choose, read Needle for embroidery and sewing machines 5 Effects of filling There are many types of stitches, but we can distinguish five main types according to their function: forward stitches to create lines, satin stitches to create lines or other thick "columns", filling stitches used to fill larger sections in different ways. Ripka, Mychko and Deyneka (2014) in a literature review, identified several taxonomies. The article embroidery stitches describes the most important shapes. A first question is how to fill embroidery objects without too much distortion created by the fact that a fill can pull (pull) or widen (push). A rule of thumb is to use a variety of points and directions, for two reasons: The push/pull effect can be reduced, The design is going to be more interesting. Good scanning software should help do this. A second question concerns density. In programs like Stitch Era, density is measured in terms of lines/mm. For example, its default density of 5 for "normal" fabric means one stitch every 0.2mm, which is quite dense. decrease or increase Read the full article

Advanced Implied Odds Model. Part 4 - Gutshot Straight Draw

In line with the Implied Odds Part 1 discussion, we consider the following situation. Hero has to call a bet but the current pot odds do not justify a call. However, hero has a good draw, which, if hit on the next street, may justify the call through implied odds. With a hit, hero will make a sufficiently large future bet that is likely to be called. If hero doesn’t hit, he will fold and lose the call amount. We are therefore considering through implied odds possible future action, which will, at least partially, address the criticism that early street EV analysis ignores future betting if not an all-in situation

Model Basics. In Part 1 of this series, we developed the following implied odds models assuming villain always calls hero’s bet if he hits:

EV = H(W(K$+2F$)-F$)-C$.

F$ = (C$-HWK$)/(H(2W-1)).       (W>50%)

IO = (P$ + F$)/C$

F$ = IO*C$ - P$

where

P$ = the pot on the current street after villain has bet

C$ = the amount hero has to call on the current street

K$ = P$ + C$, the pot after all bets on the current street

H = the probability hero will hit his outs on the next street

W = the probability hero will win the hand if he hits, bets and villain calls

F$ = the amount hero will bet if he hits

IO = implied odds

Gutshot Draw Scenario. In this post we show how this model can be applied to a gutshot or inside straight draw. This case is one where hero has just 4 outs for only an 8.7% hit probability. We will use the same hero holding and villain range as for the flush draw example in Part 3:

Hero hand is Js 9s, Villain range is {88+, AT+, KJs+, QJs, KQo}

Win Probability Estimate. Assume the turn board is Kd 4d Ts 6d. Hero needs a queen for a straight and faces a possible villain flush. From Equilab, if the Qd falls, hero’s win probability is 59% and it is 83% for the other queen suits. Using the relative suit frequencies, we set W = 1/4*0.59 + 3/4*0.83 = 0.77.

Implied Odds Calculation. Assume villain bets 300 into a pot of 100 or call amount = 0.75*Pot. Then P$ = 400, C$ = 300, K$ = 700, H= 0.087, W = 0.77

F$ = (C$-HWK$)/(H(2W-1)) = (300-0.087*0.77*700)/(0.087*(2*0.77-1) = 5387

IO =(P$ + F$)/C$ = (400 + 5387)/300 = 19.3

The required implied odds are 19.3 : 1, higher than we saw for the set mining and flush draw, reflecting the low hit probability and somewhat uncertain assurance of a win if you do hit.

Implied Gutshot Straight Odds for Various Win and Bet Amounts The following table shows the implied odds needed for other W and C$ combinations. Note how much higher these values are than for the flush draw reflecting the much lower chance for a hit.

Summary. With the specific gutshot example we chose we found a 77% win probability to be a reasonable estimate, about the same value we found for the flush draw. That was coincidental, for clearly a different hand/flop combination could result in a different results. The point to be made is that W is a factor not usually seen in EV models but its estimation difficulty should not be that much different than estimating other EV factors. It should also be noted that a player with two pair also has four outs for a much better full house. The difference of course is that two pair often can be a winner so the gutshot and two pair cases are not exactly comparable.
