Yep. I'm getting much faster at doing MLP designs now. While 1 of the 4 was being sewn, I was designing the next one. Only took about 3 hours.

Please upload the patterns and what machines you used. I want a down comforter made with this.

Any HPGL builder program can make these stitch patterns. Some machines, however use their own stitch builder apps or have built-in image-to-stitch converters.

I prefer to do hand embroidery, but I basically never finish anything. (also I am a horrible hand at drawing) All this stuff is tempting mightily to try.

I'm not sure what a HPGL builder program is (Google links to Borland, which I haven't used in a decade). I use Embird to make the designs and a brother SE-400 to sew them. Embird doesn't convert a picture into embroidery, you need to basically draw the stitches in the program and then compile the design for your machine. I've made about 25 MLP patterns so far, they are all on the interwebs if you want to download them. I have a few tweaks to do on this one, so it isn't up yet.

I wish I could find a program that would convert a pic into a pattern, even if I had to spend an hour cleaning it up afterwords.

HPGL is a "pen plotter printer" format which works with some machine stitching.

I remember the program I used in my Mac OS 7.5 PowerMac 6110- it was GraphicConverter It converts images toHPGL for stitching machines of the time, with the "plot arcs as lines" setting.

Windows equivalent is http://www.isoplotec.co.jp/ehp.htm]PloView[/img].

If you can import the HPGL pattern into Embird, that would be great, huh?

I've found interesting soft for making embroidery, its my fave choise currently http://www.wilcom.com.au/

I've also tried official soft form brother: "Brother PE-DESIGN", it looks kinda cheap, but it can converts images into pattern.

uh, I wish I had my own machine for emboidery, but they are all so expensive =/

PE-Design absolutely stinks. It says it can convert a file into a pattern, but it is so absolutely horrible it is significantly faster to do it by hand.
