re: Do you know that in the past, art had to be hand drawn stitch by stitch before it could be "punched" ?

Meu Deus. Isso tem pelo menos 15 anos que não via mais.

Esse foio um tempo "romantico". Realmente os punchadores tinham que con hecer profundamente o bordado.

O hoje com os softwares , parace video game.

Mas foi uma epoca muito boa.

Ah yes I remember those days well. I still think for fine detail working on a board can't be beat!

Yes, I can imagine that you could even detect on the tape whether you were looking at Satin Stitches or Fills or Running stitches. It was a challenge all the time and multihead embroidery was something more or less "exotic". At least you had the luxury from the beginning of the 80's onwards to be able to digitize in segment portions rather than stitch by stitch. That was a huge step forward.

I began as an artist drawing the logos to be digitized 4x larger than the final design on posterboard. In the late 80's I began digitizing. I remember running out our logos on paper tape and even being able to read and splice a tape without any problem. We modern digitizers are so spoiled these days! I love using a mouse instead of a four button puck on a board.
