There is software -- not so simple -- which convert jpg and others to
embroidery designs.

try http://www.embird.biz/
http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/
http://www.bernina.com

and the internet site of other major sewing machines.

Stick around this newsgroup and you'll learn lots. Everyone's nice and very
helpful.

Also try the newgroup alt.sewing.mach-embroider

How does one take either a photo or a simple drawing in jpg format and
convert it to a format readable by electronic embroidery sewing machines -
Janome, Brother, etc. Has anyone written a simple computer program that
will
make the conversion?
