Is there a simple way to make clipart for embroidery?

Hi modo, try this site you might have some fun there I know I did...I am also a Montrealer, West Islander actually...have fun Glenda

There's a program called Pre-Design Studio that is cheap and easy to use. They offer a 30-day free trial and a number of video's to show what the program offers. Have a look, the link is below.

Unfortunately, I don't feel that I draw well enough to do my own clipart, so I get all of mine off the web! That's taking the easy way out, I know, but what else can I do?

I have PE Design as well. My DH upgraded me to version 8 at Christmas. (from version 4) Gosh, it is so much easier than ten years ago! Guess I was sort of 'stuck in the past.' LOL

If you need any help with your inherited program I might could answer any questions or point you to some of the right places? You probably know more than me though, since I just started seriously digitizing in the last few months! Before then I was just sort of playing at it.

playing is what I was doing ,but I am unemploied and I feel that if I could embroide some logo for small companie, I could make a bit of money...maybe it is just a dream.Thanks for the offer to help me, I will contact you next time I try to make something*

I find that Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop are a good choice. I have been a registered user of both for over 15 years... but they are costly. One is used for Vectors and the other for Bipmaps.

if you draw and scan as Yoriko said, what is it vector or bipmaps*

This is a good question, Modo. I draw and scan to my computer, and correct with Embird. I also would like to know what is the best software to minimize the pixels from a clipart. :) Hugs&*

I heard PE design is a good software. I was going to buy PE instead embird, but now I am very happy with embird. I'm dreaming of an embroidery machine with bigger hoop :(
