Abstract :
The software with the user graphic interface has been developed for the sewing path design in the embroidery industry. This new version of software is an advanced version of the last one and is incorporated many advanced new functions. The main purpose of the software is to create an easy and painless environment for the designer to create their own artistic sewing pattern with suitable sewing path. The resulting sawing path will be automatically transformed into a file with the absolutely or relatively coordinate value of each stitch point on the sewing path. The coordinate file will feed into the embroidery machine for the recreation of the design pattern on the surface of the product. Commercial graphic software does not provide the suitable function to transform each stitch point into their respective coordinate values. This drawback is resulted in the transformation process to be done by hand and by means of measuring each stitch point by designer - one point by one point. Most of the designed sewing pattern will involve more than hundreds of stitch points. It is a tedious and error-prone process for the designer and will deprive most of the design time away from the designer. This software will provide an immediately help for the designer to do the painful work of the process of the coordinate transformation. This will leave the designer to focus only on the artistic pattern design.
