EMBROIDERY MACHINE

Embroidery machine difficult to hack at first glance. After having written down some initial ideas, some possibilities emerge.


- Can I import 3D files such as STL into the 2D PE design?
- Pictures how does this work?
- Somewhere the computer has to tell the machine which stitch belongs to which shape can I do this?
- What happens if I put foam or foam under the machine?
- Can I change the needles for other things? Pen, brush, screw?

I CAN DO SOMETHING WITH FILES THAT I UPLOAD INTO THE PROGRAM.

HOW DOES EMBROIDERY REACT TO MORE ABSTRACT CONCEPTS SUCH AS LIGHT OR REFLECTION?
AND CAN I CREATE GRADIENTS IN THIS?

IN THE EXTREME, THE IMAGE YOU GET OUT, WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME

HOW MUCH DETAIL DO YOU WANT TO KEEP? AND WHAT DO YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE SOMETHING?

HOW DOES THE MACHINE DECIDE WHAT TO EMBROIDER AND WHAT NOT?

can I look up this boundary by using less easy to determine color gradients of structures.

DO YOU NECESSARILY NEED A SURFACE TO EMBROIDER ON ?

INTERFERING WITH THE FILE

ODD MATTER

INTERVENING IN-BETWEEN

a: When is something still recognizable and when is it not? 

b:Gives me insight into how far I can draw the line.

c: I see an illustrative value.

d: In combination with other samples I see a value in an imprint.

a: Can I make pockets? or a connection?

b:Gives insight into whether the material is solid and that a plane can become spatial.

c: material becomes buildable and spatial

d: Feel a lot of value that it will be a buildable material from here I can do a lot of other things I am curious about or that I could make a hinge.

a:Do I always have to embroider on a canvas?

b: gives insight into how the machine pulls itself tight.

c: I see a valeu in making strands to build shapes with.

d: de machiene is hier geen borduurmachine meer maar een machine die wikkelt.
