Noyb, was referred to this thread from http://forums.techguy.org/do-yoursel...ml#post8235007 for a similar question. Tried to PM but says I'm not allowed yet. Was hoping you could help. I have a PNG file I'd like converted to a DST file.

It'll be on the left side of a chest on a jacket. Maybe 3-4 inches wide?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My younger brother is a chef and just had his first baby. To surprise him, I'm trying to take the logo that I created for his resume and business cards and get it embroidered on a chef jacket for him. The problem is that I need to have it in a .dst file and am working off of a mac (so the Janome program will not work for me to trace it myself). If there is anyone that can help me with it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Nice Logo
I think the orbits are too small to embroidery .. Might be better to delete them
And it might be better to enlarge the Center Circle and especially fatten the C ...
Thread only has a limited resolution.
Do you want to do this ... or have me do it ???

Thanks for the tips, I'll revisit the logo. The orbs around it, and the second meaning behind the C other than being my brother's first initial, is the Carbon atom structure. I'll see what I can do to better balance that, thanks again.

Since I don't know the exact size things need to be with embroidery, here is a resizing of a few of the elements in both BMP and PNG again. Thanks for any help you'd be able to supply.

What program are you building this in .. Vector or Raster ??
I would have preferred at least twice as many pixels

I actually design it in vector but to keep it within size to upload on here, I have to shrink it quite a bit.

Minor Tweaking .. I opened the top slot in the Spatula to make it more like the bottom ...
and fattened the "C" a few pixels.

Nyob, sorry for the slow reply. That looks amazing. Well done. If there is anything I can do in return, quid pro quo per se, just let me know.

If you can get a picture of the final result .. I'd like to see it.

Ok, I've spent hours and hours reading on all this digitizing and .dst file formats.
I've been trying to get a Logo for work on a hat. They did supply me with a weird snap-back hat but trust me when I say
it fits me horrendous!
They told me I could get my own hat and so I went to Lids with a .jpg of the logo but it didn't work!
I was told it needed to bed Digitized, DST format.

Nyob this is where I come to you for help. As I've been reading alot and I've noticed you are they guy to go to.
I just want to wear my own fitted hat to work with the company logo and I hope you can help me .dst the logo.
It's going on a Black Fitted hat, need the white rim with everything inside of it.

Welcome to the TSG Forum.
I don't know how these work out ... I'm using very basic software.
I though it might be better if I fattened the white rim a little.
I hope this works .. I'd appreciate a photo of the finished product.
