We are looking at purchasing a Roland GX 24, and will be using it primarily for twill. We were wondering if anyone has any tips or if its even possible to make a sew disk with the Roland program. We use Corel and Corel DRAWings so we were thinking if we could export it to a file the DRAWings could read, we'd be able to make one that way. Let me know what you guys think or what you've tried, thanks.
You can make a sew disk in Drawings. You have to place with a couple of the settings and double check the stitches it is generating. but it may do what you need to do and save a $ on the Twill Stitch.
Most people would design the vector art in Corel and use the Roland Cut Studio plug in to take the art over to the cut studio for cutting. They would then take the original file from Corel over to Drawings and create the sew file. Take the sew file to your embroidery machine and sew a placement stitch. Position the cut twill down on the placement stitch and then sew your zigzag or satin stitch.
The Twill Stitch Pro simply does the same workflow, but replaces Drawings. You would have to export your file as a PLT file from Corel and then import it into Twill Stitch Pro. In Twill Stitch Pro you create your sew file and then save it as the proper file type for your embroidery machine.
Alright, that makes sense... That's kinda what we were thinking but the Twill Stitch Pro came with it so I guess we'll just figure out which one is easier for us.. thanks
