This is a really cool idea! I've done two embroidery projects so I have very little knowledge of this area. I do want to try and do more though. I added some daisies to a dress I made for my sisters wedding a couple of weeks ago and it looks so cute! What's the typical file format for embroidery? I've used PP for quite a few non sewing projects like cardboard cutting for masks and making a fairy door (cuts lines for the wood and pattern for painting). Maybe it would make sense to have different modes for different use cases. Like an embroidery, painting, cardboard cutting, and sewing mode where each one shows different tools that make sense for that use. Mostly I've been trying to add things that I can see being useful across all these cases so far. |

Getting there: It's a lot of trial and error, but also super cool. Hopefully I can pinpoint all the minor tweaks and having something plottable soon! |

Ok, don't hate me. I just had this random idea today. I bet a lot of people who would use Pattern Projector for cutting out patterns could also use a similar product and/or feature for embroidery.
In today's world, it's so hard to determine embroidery placement on stuff. You can do a "best guess" based on measurements, you can print out paper copies and arrange stuff, etc, but wouldn't it be really cool to have a similar setup to PP (although maybe branded differently) where you calibrate and then can upload one or more embroidery files for visualization? You could then project your "embroidery playground" onto your piece of clothing or whatever and mess around with design placement, rotation, etc.
There would be crosshair displayed visually from the software (and probably a visual "hoop") so that you could mark your center line(s) for placement. You could even potentially plan multi-hoop larger designs with some well thought-out tools.
This is totally half-baked, and I'm not really asking anyone for anything. I'm certainly not asking for PP to become an embroidery software. I just wanted to throw it out there while the inspiration was fresh! It just seems like this projection calibration technology could be really helpful in this area as well.
