looking for digitized C5 sewing patterns
I know a local lady who has several of those computerized sewing machines that can do embroidery, but what she doesn't have is a selection of the digitized patterns for C5s, so that's what I'm looking for. It would be great if any of you (or your SOs ) already have some patterns that we could collect, or if you have the software, expertise and willingness to digitize images. PM me if you have some or are willing to create some. Thanks in advance....

hmmmmm.....
what exactly do you mean by "digitize"?
I did a crossed flags logo on AutoCad.
I could get rid of the hatch, scale it, anything like that.
let me know if that helps you.

Can you say.........."Copyright infringement"?????
Most places wont even do something like that. If you do it personally for your own personal use, thats one thing. But if a paid professional does it and charges for that service I think they "could" get in big trouble. Maybe I'm wrong, but thats the impression I have gotten.
I know a lady who does that kind of work and she wont even consider doing it for me.
-EDIT-
Oh yeah...if someone is considering posting a pic that is 9 million pixels wide...you might consider just posting a link to that pic instead of screwing up the readibility of the whole thread.

There are a few digitized vettes available for personal use on George The Digitizer's site - as 2K1 Vette pointed out you do have to be aware of copyright issues, so be careful with what you use as the source image - especially if you are involved in a commercial venture...

You link to the pic essentially the same way you display the pic.
To display the pic, you put it between the {img}{/img} tags (except you have to use [] instead of {} )
If you want to add a link to the pic instead of displaying the pic, you would put it between these tags {url}{/url} (again using the [] instead of {})
or....if you look at the little menu above the text box when you are in advanced mode....you would click
instead of

I have a rather large monitor and it displayed just fine for me.
I did not have to scroll at all to see any of the text, only if I wanted to see the whole image.sorry for the inconvenience

I spend most of my time in OT... this is nothing
I figured it would slide by without complaint... I mean, it was only 1 thread and it was pertained to the topic of teh thread.
Its not like it was a sig pic and it showed up every time I post...
