Vector Art of Feath. Wreath??

[njquiltergirl]

Hi.

My printer said I need to provide "vector line art" for the feathered wreath design I want. Dover Publishing, the clip-art people, does not have one.

Does anyone have a source?

Thanks!

Lisa where did you get your design that you are wanting to do. Vector is a solid pixal printout.... when doing digitizing for embroidery it was kept in the back of my mind Vector = Victory and "Rastor is wrong" Rastor prints are pixals that lay close together, but don't touch.

If you have a design and you can trace it solid your printer may be able to use that...ask them.

Download a copy of Inkscape from http://www.inkscape.org

File -> Import... will let you load your current image.

Path -> Trace Bitmap... will covert the raster image to a vector path.

You now have two objects, a vector path, sat on top of a raster image. Drag the path out of the way. Click on the raster image, and press Delete.

File -> Save As... will let you save the path in a vector format. Your printer probably won't handle Inkscape's native SVG format, so select Encapsulated PostScript from the file type menu.

Hi Bonnie.

I do not have a set image other than a typical feathered wreath design.

WOW Tet...thanks for that tip from me as well....I use Coral Draw and others, but didn't know that this program was free.
