Alphabet Project

I have been working on an Alphabet project recently, and I have finally completed coding the letters. Numbers have been added as well. I recommend using the "go to x:_ y:_" block to separate the letters and create words with them!

*Note: I may add variables soon!

Happy coding! What word will you stitch?

What is Your Zodiac Sign?

Image
This year's Turtlestitch theme is identity. What culture or pattern represent you? What are the letters of your name? What are your favorite colors? This week I am focusing on astrological signs, also known as horoscopes, which are determined by birth dates. I decided to embroider these signs because recently, I started to believe that it represents my personality pretty well. I am a Leo-Virgo cusp, and after reading the cusp is defined as "one of leadership and communication but also one of independence and secrecy," I was convinced I am a mix of the two signs. What is your horoscope? Embroider your sign! Aries (March 21 - April 19) Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Cancer (June 21- July 22) Leo (July 23 - August 22) Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Libra (September 23 - October 22) Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Pisc

Cracking Down a Code #1

Image
Today, I am looking and extracting a code on TurtleStitch so I could get a better understanding of what each block does to create a certain design. Original code I will go in order from top to bottom and explain the blocks: Figure 1 (max_stepsize=40) when (flag) clicked : this block is used to control the script so when you click on the green flag, the turtle will start stitching the code. go to x: 0 y: 0 : this block is used to direct the turtle to the center of the stage. set __ to __ : this block is used to set the chosen variable to a given value (string or number).       a)  max_stepsize is the spacing between the stitches so if it was set to 10, then it would look like the above image. If I changed it to 40, it would look like Figure 1.       b)  len  seems to be the size of the center of the design. When I set it to 50, I realized the center got bigger and when I set it to 100, there was an even greater difference (Figure 2). Figure 2 (len=100) clear : it i

Turtlestitch 2.5 - The Whizzy Needle

Image
The new Turtlestitch "Whizzy Needle" site  has many new features, including the "Embroidery" and "Color" block categories. It has completely changed the way my designs look on the embroidery machine. The "Embroidery" section offers various stitch types, which sophisticates any pattern. I have tested all of the blocks, and I am most drawn to the satin stitch since a lot of my patterns are silhouettes, and I want to emphasize the shape of them. I love the texture of the tatami stitch; it is very smooth. The other stitch types are great for adding a unique look to a design. The blocks from the "Color" section do not affect the output colors on an embroidery machine. Although, I use it to help me choose the thread color. I also change the background color (Turtle>Default background color...) to determine the thread and fabric colors to use. The slideshow has some of my recent projects using the new embroidery blocks. The title on t

Resizing and Adjusting a Pattern

Image
When I was playing around with the different features on the Brother PE-770 embroidery machine, I learned it is possible to resize and adjust a pattern. Here are some things I found out: The pattern would have to fit the frame in order to be opened or altered There is a limit to how much a pattern can be resized Using the LAYOUT features can help determine where the pattern will go on the fabric Check out my slideshow below to learn how to resize and adjust a pattern, and feel free to ask me any questions! More sophisticated and creative patterns can be made by overlapping or duplicating the design with the features. It can also help with easier visualization of the size and location on the fabric. I can't wait to share future designs with these features, and I hope similar features can be found on different embroidery machines!

Stitch Warnings!

Image
When I was helping students the other day, a few students asked me what the certain warnings mean on Turtlestitch. The first warning a student came across was "DENSITY WARNING!" and the other warning another student received was "1 is too long! (will get clamped)." Today I will go over both of these warnings based on our observations! I hope you will find this helpful when coding. "DENSITY WARNING!" This is the link to Aaron's code: http://www.turtlestitch.org/run#cloud:Username=aaronkong&ProjectName=drawng%20GGG    This is what we found out: -the warning appears when multiple stitches overlap each other repeatedly. -the stitches become too thick. -the needle may break! The center of the design is darker than the rest of the code, and when the turtle is moving, the stitches are repeated in the same area. This makes the center dense/thick and may cause the needle to break when passing through the stitches. "1 is
