Abstract
A software program for analyzing an embroidery design of stitches which design will be used by an embroidery machine to create an embroidered fabric. Grid software divides the embroidery design to be analyzed into a plurality of grid sections. Identifying software identifies each grid section having a stitch which is partially or completely underlying another stitch. Modification software removes underlying stitches or a portion thereof in each identified grid section. The size of each grid section may be increased or decreased in proportion to a stretch of the thread to be used to create the embroidered fabric.
Claims21
A software program for analyzing an embroidery design of stitches which design will be used by an embroidery machine to create an embroidered fabric, said software program comprising:
- identifying software for identifying a stitch of the embroidery design which is partially or completely underlying another stitch of the embroidery design;
- and
- modification software for modifying the identified underlying stitch.
A software program for analyzing an embroidery design of stitches which design will be used by an embroidery machine to create an embroidered fabric, said software program comprising:
- grid software for dividing the embroidery design to be analyzed into a plurality of grid sections;
- and
- display software for providing a display of the grid sections of the divided embroidery design wherein each particular grid section has a parameter corresponding to any underlying stitches of the embroidery design within the particular grid section.
A system for analyzing an embroidery design of stitches which design will be used by an embroidery machine to create an embroidered fabric, said system comprising:
- a personal computer including:
- grid software for dividing the embroidery design to be analyzed into a plurality of grid sections;
- modification software for modifying a stitch within one of the grid sections which is underlying another stitch within the grid section.
