@esthi Hey thank you! I go into fablabs who have embroisery machines when I need to use one. The important parameter if you want to make embroideries from Turtle Stitch as I did is to check if the embroidery machine can read .DST files (file format exported by TS). I already made it with Brother and Tajima machines, other brands might work too.

@makeratschool hello! Yes exactly it is felt. I did not think about sharing my project on the turtlestitch website if this is what you mean, but that's definitely something to do
Just a quick announcement that my fonts Ductus are now available on Bye Bye Binary's typothèque → https://typotheque.genderfluid.space/
Regular and Monospace versions are released with 3 weights for each.
It's under free license so feel free to use or modify it
Finally showing something I've been working on for a moment : I added inclusive glyphs to a font family that I designed a few years ago. These glyphs depend on an Opentype feature that activate it when you use the period centered glyph to be gender inclusive.
This font family was designed with Metapost and is totally free of use : https://gitlab.com/ameliedumont/fonts/-/tree/master/Ductus
This is my new laptop sleeve with a stroke font lettering designed on https://www.turtlestitch.org/. Then I could export the code into a file for a digital embroidery machine. And I am happy with it 🧵
I made something I wanted to try for a long time for the Feminist Hack Meetings in Rotterdam: an HTML poster generator. The organizers have the basic pattern of the poster on a webpage and they can modify and generate themselves the posters for the other events #webtoprint

@mario_angst_sci this is such a nice project! If my typographies are compatible with your tool it would be great to incorporate.
You can take a look at my code here: https://gitlab.com/ameliedumont/residence-green-fabric/-/tree/main/Tricot%20machine%E2%81%84Knitting%20machine/Canvas_tricot?ref_type=heads
Also the letters set of the fonts are not complete for now, I still have to work on it
Another little generator project. This is a tool made for the art event Lesbiennale (https://lesbiennale.art), aimed at the organisation team so that they can create pictures for their social network accounts by playing with the automated layout of the tool. Then PNG files are generated and can be downloaded.

@exquisitecorp you're welcome. The tool is really nice for education as it is based on Scratch
@raphaelbastide@mastodon.social nope some css properties I use don't work on Firefox, I have to improve the tool for the next version
