WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.000 You 00:30.000 --> 00:32.000 You 01:00.000 --> 01:02.000 You 01:30.000 --> 01:32.000 You 02:00.000 --> 02:02.000 You 02:30.000 --> 02:32.000 You 02:40.000 --> 02:42.000 You 02:42.000 --> 02:47.000 I have to stay here. Is that better now? Can you hear me? Sound working? 02:50.000 --> 02:59.000 Did I press the right button? I did. Okay. So the other interesting thing to note about the 3.5 inch floppy disk. So that makes it what nineties. 02:59.000 --> 03:14.000 That kind of time. The machine. But also the code we use to send the data to the embroidery machine is an 8-bit code, which I'm confident was on paper tape at some point in the past. 03:14.000 --> 03:20.000 So there are probably embroidery machines somewhere, which have paper tape feeds, but in a museum I guess by now. 03:20.000 --> 03:31.000 This is not even though it's called the textile museum. It's not a museum. It's a place where they do fabrics weaving embroidery and so on. 03:31.000 --> 03:38.000 So it was wonderful visit. I recommend it to anybody who has not done it. Okay. So moving on. 03:38.000 --> 03:45.000 The first piece of software I want to talk about is called turtle stitch. And turtle stitch is where I fell in love. 03:45.000 --> 03:59.000 Because I went to a scratch conference and saw demonstrated somebody doing turtle stitch making an embroidery. I went home and I spent the money to buy my machine because it was so exciting. 03:59.000 --> 04:06.000 You may do the same after this, but sadly it's not Margaret here. It's Margaret here. You would definitely go and buy the machine. 04:06.000 --> 04:14.000 Okay. You can see some patterns. You can see some code. The code is what I like to call jigsaw programming. 04:14.000 --> 04:22.000 Everybody else in the world calls block base coding or visual coding. But jigsaw the pieces together. Surely that's the right name. 04:22.000 --> 04:35.000 And the code is very much like scratch. In fact, turtle stitch is derived from snap, which in turn you can argue is derived from scratch. 04:36.000 --> 04:43.000 Yeah. Scratch, snap, turtle stitch is the sequence. And there are people in the audience here that know all this better than I do. 04:43.000 --> 04:52.000 Correct me if I'm wrong. And ask questions any time. So turtle stitch, I think the best thing is of our show you. Is that a good thing? 04:52.000 --> 04:58.000 So somewhere here, I have a browser that maybe will show us. 04:58.000 --> 05:05.000 Yeah, my preparation went well. So here we are. Now, there's elements of this falling in love, which means taking your clothes off. 05:05.000 --> 05:13.000 Okay. It's okay. There's nobody going to be sensitive triggered by my taking my clothes off. 05:13.000 --> 05:17.000 All right. 05:17.000 --> 05:21.000 Well, I'm hoping you might be triggered. 05:21.000 --> 05:27.000 Okay. So you can see on my chest here, this symbol. 05:27.000 --> 05:35.000 When I wore this to the bus stop one day on a hot summer day, I was talking to somebody in the queue and they were asking me about the bus to Dublin. 05:35.000 --> 05:42.000 And I said, oh, it's this one. They thought I was the driver because of this. 05:43.000 --> 05:55.000 But here is here is the finished article in turtle stitch. And you can see over here the code, which includes some embroidery specific pieces like zigzag with density. 05:55.000 --> 06:00.000 Can you see that? That's a particularly for the embroidery machine. 06:00.000 --> 06:04.000 The other things are by and large the same as for any turtle geometry. 06:04.000 --> 06:11.000 Okay. So I can't see. I have to look. 06:12.000 --> 06:15.000 So what I'm going to do now is just show you. 06:15.000 --> 06:18.000 Yes, help me. If I want to slow it down a little bit. 06:18.000 --> 06:19.000 Yeah. 06:19.000 --> 06:22.000 I'll just do step by step, because it's otherwise too quick. Yeah. 06:22.000 --> 06:24.000 Is that too much? We'll see. 06:24.000 --> 06:25.000 Let's see what happens. 06:25.000 --> 06:26.000 Okay. 06:26.000 --> 06:28.000 Yeah, maybe that was too slow. 06:28.000 --> 06:30.000 Okay. 06:30.000 --> 06:36.000 But you can see the steps of my, my design for the code that would make this shape. 06:41.000 --> 06:45.000 Does anybody recognize this symbol? 06:45.000 --> 06:49.000 I hope you're not going to recognize it because it's my symbol. I made it. 06:49.000 --> 06:52.000 All right. Nobody else uses it. I don't think. Yeah. 06:52.000 --> 06:55.000 I don't have a trademark yet, but I think I should. 06:55.000 --> 07:00.000 Can you realize what could be in place of the heart? 07:00.000 --> 07:03.000 It's a light emitting diode. Okay. 07:03.000 --> 07:08.000 And I was very proud of this as you always are when you invent something, lead by the heart. 07:08.000 --> 07:16.000 Okay. Sorry. 07:16.000 --> 07:19.000 Yeah. 07:19.000 --> 07:23.000 Have I given you enough idea of what turtle stitch is like? 07:23.000 --> 07:26.000 Does anybody want to ask any questions before I move on? 07:26.000 --> 07:28.000 Because I'm not going to go into the detail. 07:28.000 --> 07:31.000 You get the idea. There's code. It makes a pattern. 07:31.000 --> 07:34.000 The thing I haven't told you yet is one time. 07:34.000 --> 07:37.000 Finish that. I can use one of these buttons down here. 07:37.000 --> 07:41.000 Can you see that button down there? It says export as 07:41.000 --> 07:46.000 Tajima DST. DST is the one I'm interested in. 07:46.000 --> 07:50.000 It's the same. It's the eight-bit code I talked about earlier. 07:50.000 --> 07:54.000 So it exports a file. I save it on a USB stick. 07:54.000 --> 07:57.000 I take the USB stick to the machine. There's one in here. 07:57.000 --> 08:01.000 Plug it in and then I can do the embroidery. 08:01.000 --> 08:04.000 Okay. So that's the whole process. Right code. 08:04.000 --> 08:07.000 Export the data. Put the data in the machine. 08:07.000 --> 08:10.000 And then you can stitch as many as these as you like. 08:10.000 --> 08:12.000 And for me, I don't know about you. 08:12.000 --> 08:16.000 I'm in love with computers because they empower me to do so many things 08:16.000 --> 08:21.000 so many times in a way that requires no skill from me. 08:21.000 --> 08:25.000 So no stitching by hand, which I can just about serve button. 08:25.000 --> 08:28.000 But now I can really do beautiful things and many of them. 08:28.000 --> 08:30.000 And give them to my friends. 08:30.000 --> 08:33.000 And we'll talk more about that. Let's move on. 08:33.000 --> 08:36.000 I want to go back to the presentation. So give me a second. 08:36.000 --> 08:40.000 I work out what to do. Here we are. 08:40.000 --> 08:44.000 So turtle stitch. 08:44.000 --> 08:49.000 And I think actually that really just was what I've been saying to you. 08:49.000 --> 08:53.000 The sequence of things you do, right the code, saved the code to machine format, 08:53.000 --> 08:56.000 transfers the machine and stitch it. 08:56.000 --> 08:58.000 Okay. 08:58.000 --> 09:00.000 And here we are. 09:00.000 --> 09:02.000 The machine doing the job. 09:02.000 --> 09:06.000 Basically, it moves the material around. 09:06.000 --> 09:08.000 And the needle stays in the same place. 09:08.000 --> 09:11.000 That's true of all. So machine is pretty much as far as I know. 09:11.000 --> 09:14.000 But sometimes it's not obvious what's going on. 09:14.000 --> 09:18.000 Interesting challenges include how big a frame can you make, how big a design. 09:18.000 --> 09:21.000 You spend more money, you get a bigger frame. 09:21.000 --> 09:24.000 It's pretty much the story, I think. 09:24.000 --> 09:26.000 Okay. 09:27.000 --> 09:30.000 We don't need to wait to the end, do we? 09:30.000 --> 09:33.000 Can you do what, sorry? 09:33.000 --> 09:36.000 Can you move the material in the other wrap frame? 09:36.000 --> 09:40.000 You can. And in fact, I've got four frames for my machine. 09:40.000 --> 09:44.000 One of which is long and thin and has two locating posts. 09:44.000 --> 09:49.000 So you can pick it up and move it precisely to an end carry on. 09:49.000 --> 09:52.000 So yeah, I have never used it. 09:52.000 --> 09:54.000 I bought it thinking that I'm going to do that. 09:54.000 --> 09:56.000 I still haven't had time to do it. 09:56.000 --> 10:01.000 Because there are so many wonderful creative opportunities to go on. 10:01.000 --> 10:03.000 Thank you. 10:03.000 --> 10:07.000 I need to be reminded to repeat the question. 10:07.000 --> 10:09.000 Okay. So just ask me. 10:09.000 --> 10:11.000 Out loud. 10:11.000 --> 10:16.000 So here's some work made by youngsters in the age of 9 to 11. 10:16.000 --> 10:21.000 They very quickly move from making a basic triangle or square 10:21.000 --> 10:23.000 to rotating repeatedly. 10:23.000 --> 10:25.000 That's very simple for them to do. 10:25.000 --> 10:28.000 And you can be achieving these kinds of results. 10:28.000 --> 10:32.000 These kinds of outcomes within the hour and embroider them. 10:32.000 --> 10:35.000 This is not a very different thing for youngsters to do. 10:35.000 --> 10:38.000 And the most important thing from my perspective, because I'm interested in this, 10:38.000 --> 10:42.000 is that boys and girls both love to do it. 10:42.000 --> 10:43.000 Every age group. 10:43.000 --> 10:46.000 There isn't any kind of sense or this is girls' work, 10:46.000 --> 10:48.000 which is a kind of you might think. 10:48.000 --> 10:49.000 But no. 10:49.000 --> 10:53.000 And that's partly because very rarely do boys see embroidery happening 10:53.000 --> 10:56.000 amongst women nowadays. 10:56.000 --> 10:59.000 It's something that I might remember, but I don't know about you. 10:59.000 --> 11:01.000 It's just not common these days. 11:01.000 --> 11:03.000 So they just see it neutrally. 11:03.000 --> 11:04.000 They see it beautifully. 11:04.000 --> 11:07.000 They love to see outcomes that they can hold in their hands 11:07.000 --> 11:10.000 and give to people and so on. 11:10.000 --> 11:14.000 So I want to talk quickly about ink stitch. 11:14.000 --> 11:17.000 So everything about turtle stitches is about creativity. 11:17.000 --> 11:19.000 It's about starting with your own ideas, 11:19.000 --> 11:23.000 playing and exploring with geometry to make nice and interesting things. 11:23.000 --> 11:25.000 But in ink scape and ink stitch, 11:25.000 --> 11:28.000 we're doing something slightly different. 11:28.000 --> 11:30.000 So do you all know ink scape? 11:30.000 --> 11:32.000 The free and open source software for, 11:32.000 --> 11:35.000 as a substitute you could say for Adobe Illustrator, 11:35.000 --> 11:39.000 for drawing graphics, particularly depth of graphics rather than 11:39.000 --> 11:43.000 gimp, of course, for its bitmap. 11:43.000 --> 11:45.000 Ink scape has an extension called ink stitch. 11:45.000 --> 11:47.000 You can install it. 11:47.000 --> 11:50.000 And when you do, you can change your designs in ink scape 11:50.000 --> 11:52.000 to become embroiderable. 11:52.000 --> 11:53.000 Embroiderable. 11:53.000 --> 11:54.000 Is that a word? 11:54.000 --> 11:55.000 Anyway. 11:55.000 --> 11:56.000 Okay. 11:56.000 --> 11:58.000 I'm not going to go into that. 11:58.000 --> 12:00.000 Well, very quickly I will. 12:00.000 --> 12:03.000 Here's the, this Margaret slide, 12:03.000 --> 12:06.000 but it's basically saying you make a vector image. 12:06.000 --> 12:11.000 You convert it to embroidery vectors and parameterize whatever that means. 12:11.000 --> 12:15.000 Things like, well, how many stitches and where will they go? 12:15.000 --> 12:16.000 And this kind of stuff. 12:16.000 --> 12:18.000 You plan the order because if you don't, 12:18.000 --> 12:22.000 it will try and do a bit over there and make a big mess of what they 12:22.000 --> 12:25.000 call jump stitches, where the thread has to go from here to there. 12:25.000 --> 12:28.000 So you want to minimize that to make it easy to work with. 12:28.000 --> 12:31.000 And then you visualize it. 12:31.000 --> 12:33.000 Ink stitch is wonderful for simulation. 12:33.000 --> 12:34.000 I'll show you quickly. 12:34.000 --> 12:37.000 And then you save the file just like turtle stitch. 12:37.000 --> 12:39.000 Take it to the machine off you go. 12:39.000 --> 12:40.000 Yeah. 12:40.000 --> 12:43.000 So it's, it's a much more technically demanding job. 12:43.000 --> 12:46.000 I don't recommend it for an age 9 to 11, particularly. 12:46.000 --> 12:48.000 I'm sure they could make sense of it with time. 12:48.000 --> 12:53.000 But it's more of a kind of professionally kind of thinking you have to have. 12:53.000 --> 12:56.000 And that's partly because of the way ink scape and ink stitch are designed. 12:56.000 --> 13:00.000 Really for an adult competent graphic designer I would say. 13:01.000 --> 13:04.000 Here's an example of ink stitch that Margaret gave me. 13:04.000 --> 13:06.000 I think these are pretty. 13:06.000 --> 13:09.000 I haven't attempted anything as like that. 13:09.000 --> 13:13.000 I'm going to speak from my heart now and show you something that I made. 13:13.000 --> 13:15.000 Which was this. 13:15.000 --> 13:16.000 Okay. 13:16.000 --> 13:18.000 Some of you might recognize it. 13:18.000 --> 13:21.000 So quickly let me show you what happened when I did that. 13:21.000 --> 13:23.000 But I don't ink scape. 13:23.000 --> 13:26.000 Where's ink scape? 13:26.000 --> 13:28.000 Somewhere along the bottom here. 13:29.000 --> 13:32.000 So now this is ink scape and there's my line drawing. 13:32.000 --> 13:36.000 You know if I click on. 13:36.000 --> 13:38.000 You know the kind of thing. 13:38.000 --> 13:42.000 Now I spent quite a lot of time when making this. 13:42.000 --> 13:45.000 To make the vectors just right. 13:45.000 --> 13:47.000 To make them so they went. 13:47.000 --> 13:49.000 The way Picasso would draw them. 13:49.000 --> 13:51.000 I think. 13:51.000 --> 13:53.000 I didn't ask him. 13:53.000 --> 13:55.000 I just kind of guessed because it's kind of obvious. 13:55.000 --> 13:59.000 But when you do the process which I'm about to show you. 13:59.000 --> 14:02.000 I'm going to do a new document. 14:02.000 --> 14:05.000 And I'm going to show you the steps. 14:05.000 --> 14:06.000 I open. 14:06.000 --> 14:08.000 I hope it's going to come to a folder. 14:08.000 --> 14:09.000 Fantastic. 14:09.000 --> 14:13.000 This case I'm going to open a PNG because that's all I could find on the internet. 14:13.000 --> 14:15.000 You didn't think I drew it. 14:15.000 --> 14:16.000 Did you? 14:16.000 --> 14:18.000 I'm not an artist. 14:18.000 --> 14:20.000 Well not technically. 14:20.000 --> 14:23.000 So you import a bit map into an ink scape. 14:24.000 --> 14:26.000 You do and nothing happens. 14:26.000 --> 14:27.000 And you don't know why. 14:27.000 --> 14:29.000 So you sit there puzzling. 14:29.000 --> 14:32.000 And I'm going to go back and try that again. 14:32.000 --> 14:35.000 But this time with the J pegs here that helps me. 14:35.000 --> 14:41.000 And if it doesn't, I'll be so miserable. 14:41.000 --> 14:43.000 But it always has helped a bit. 14:43.000 --> 14:45.000 I'm a bit uncharted territory here. 14:45.000 --> 14:47.000 So if this goes wrong, don't worry. 14:47.000 --> 14:51.000 The black I think is because I exported a J peg with transparency. 14:51.000 --> 14:53.000 And it decided to make the whole thing black. 14:53.000 --> 14:55.000 But then this is the important thing. 14:55.000 --> 14:57.000 There is a thing called trace bit map. 14:57.000 --> 15:00.000 In landscape if you know it. 15:00.000 --> 15:02.000 It's really hard to use. 15:02.000 --> 15:04.000 I found it in almost impossible. 15:04.000 --> 15:07.000 But that's why I said it's probably a more technical thing. 15:07.000 --> 15:10.000 If I apply this trace bit map to this. 15:10.000 --> 15:11.000 You'll see. 15:11.000 --> 15:15.000 I think that it begins to shut when I didn't. 15:15.000 --> 15:16.000 I'm going to do it. 15:16.000 --> 15:19.000 I actually did, which was tentaline tracing. 15:19.000 --> 15:20.000 And apply. 15:20.000 --> 15:21.000 I won't go into the details. 15:21.000 --> 15:25.000 You get the idea that I'm converting the bit map into vectors. 15:25.000 --> 15:27.000 And then maybe. 15:27.000 --> 15:28.000 They're hey vectors. 15:28.000 --> 15:31.000 And you can see that's a bit more complicated. 15:31.000 --> 15:34.000 That set of vectors than the one I finished with. 15:34.000 --> 15:36.000 But I did start from there. 15:36.000 --> 15:40.000 And I edited it to make a much cleaner, more linear, more. 15:40.000 --> 15:42.000 You know Picasso style. 15:42.000 --> 15:43.000 This is how you draw it. 15:43.000 --> 15:45.000 And this is how I want the embroidery machine to do it. 15:45.000 --> 15:46.000 And I'm plusy like that. 15:46.000 --> 15:47.000 Maybe I shouldn't be. 15:47.000 --> 15:48.000 But that's the way I am. 15:48.000 --> 15:49.000 OK. 15:49.000 --> 15:51.000 So having done that. 15:51.000 --> 15:52.000 The next job. 15:52.000 --> 15:53.000 I'm going to go straight for it. 15:53.000 --> 15:55.000 I'm going to go to the extension ink stitch. 15:55.000 --> 15:57.000 I go to this thing called Perams. 15:57.000 --> 15:59.000 That's what parameterization means. 15:59.000 --> 16:01.000 I think from Margaret's thing. 16:01.000 --> 16:02.000 Have you. 16:02.000 --> 16:06.000 So far that I'm not an expert in ink scape or ink stitch. 16:06.000 --> 16:10.000 And to be one, I'd have to go and lock myself in a room for a year. 16:10.000 --> 16:11.000 I think. 16:11.000 --> 16:13.000 There's so many complicated nice things in it. 16:13.000 --> 16:15.000 But it's really powerful and really good. 16:15.000 --> 16:17.000 So I do recommend it to you. 16:17.000 --> 16:18.000 And here we go. 16:18.000 --> 16:21.000 That's what it made of that. 16:21.000 --> 16:23.000 All right. 16:23.000 --> 16:28.000 And of course, I did this with the raw, traced picture. 16:28.000 --> 16:31.000 Not the one that I finished up with. 16:31.000 --> 16:34.000 When I did my finished up one, it was much tidier, much easier. 16:34.000 --> 16:36.000 And so there is some processing and work to do there. 16:36.000 --> 16:38.000 But having done that part. 16:38.000 --> 16:44.000 You can see that I can play the order in which ink stitch will. 16:44.000 --> 16:46.000 I thought I could go back to the beginning here. 16:46.000 --> 16:47.000 I can but slow. 16:47.000 --> 16:51.000 You know, I can see where's the embroidery thread going to go and be. 16:51.000 --> 16:57.000 And that means I can go into an iterative loop of fixing my vector diagram until I'm happy 16:57.000 --> 16:59.000 that it's going to stitch well. 16:59.000 --> 17:00.000 Okay. 17:00.000 --> 17:04.000 And I can also do things like change it from what's called running stitch. 17:04.000 --> 17:06.000 Running stitch is a simple go go go go go. 17:06.000 --> 17:09.000 I can change it from that to a zigzag stitch. 17:09.000 --> 17:12.000 And that produces interesting results as you'll see in a moment. 17:12.000 --> 17:13.000 No. 17:13.000 --> 17:15.000 Not very interesting. 17:16.000 --> 17:20.000 But typically it will make a thicker line as it follows around. 17:20.000 --> 17:22.000 Because it goes zigzag zigzag instead of straight along. 17:22.000 --> 17:23.000 Okay. 17:23.000 --> 17:25.000 I think that's enough of that, isn't it? 17:25.000 --> 17:30.000 You need a day to go and absorb that and play with it yourself. 17:30.000 --> 17:31.000 Yeah. 17:37.000 --> 17:38.000 It's a super question. 17:38.000 --> 17:42.000 I'm asked, can I change which lines have a zigzag which ones are running stitch? 17:42.000 --> 17:44.000 And the answer is I don't know. 17:44.000 --> 17:50.000 But I do know this that when I make the stitching file and say that to USB, 17:50.000 --> 17:53.000 I can make a second one, but the second part maybe. 17:53.000 --> 17:55.000 And I can compose them on the machine. 17:55.000 --> 17:58.000 You know, I can say put this one on and do this one as well. 17:58.000 --> 18:03.000 So there's quite nice ways of doing that even if I don't know the proper answer to your question. 18:03.000 --> 18:04.000 I apologize, yeah. 18:04.000 --> 18:06.000 Have fun exploring. 18:06.000 --> 18:09.000 And when you find the answer, really write to me. 18:10.000 --> 18:11.000 Okay, that's enough. 18:11.000 --> 18:13.000 I think of inkscape and inks stitch. 18:13.000 --> 18:16.000 If you want to ask more questions, we might have time at the end. 18:16.000 --> 18:17.000 I don't know. 18:17.000 --> 18:20.000 I want to go back to here and say a few more things. 18:20.000 --> 18:23.000 So there's my example of the one I did personally. 18:23.000 --> 18:25.000 I did this because I'm in love. 18:25.000 --> 18:30.000 I stitched it onto a silk scarf and gave it to this woman that's new in my life. 18:30.000 --> 18:33.000 Only the last three months for her birthday. 18:33.000 --> 18:36.000 And I think art comes from this. 18:36.000 --> 18:40.000 And I want to argue with you that computing comes from this too. 18:40.000 --> 18:42.000 If only we knew it. 18:42.000 --> 18:45.000 And in mathematics especially because I love mathematics too. 18:45.000 --> 18:54.000 So there's some really personally deeply emancipating things in computing and in the open source movement. 18:54.000 --> 18:56.000 That's why I'm here. 18:56.000 --> 18:57.000 Okay. 18:57.000 --> 18:59.000 Moving on. 18:59.000 --> 19:02.000 Is it time to take me short off yet? 19:02.000 --> 19:04.000 How much time I have left? 19:05.000 --> 19:06.000 Six minutes. 19:06.000 --> 19:08.000 Oh, we have time for the short in a minute. 19:08.000 --> 19:09.000 Okay. 19:09.000 --> 19:10.000 So next. 19:10.000 --> 19:12.000 So quickly some embroidery machines. 19:12.000 --> 19:14.000 This is the boring stuff. 19:14.000 --> 19:17.000 This is the kind of machine I have on the far left. 19:17.000 --> 19:20.000 It's really a domestic machine meant for people or hobbyists. 19:20.000 --> 19:24.000 It's perfectly serviceable for things as big as that. 19:24.000 --> 19:26.000 And it's pretty reliable. 19:26.000 --> 19:28.000 You know, I've had two in my time. 19:28.000 --> 19:30.000 Only one broken had to buy another one. 19:30.000 --> 19:33.000 But you know, they're pretty good. 19:33.000 --> 19:34.000 They're tricky to use. 19:34.000 --> 19:36.000 You to change the color of the thread. 19:36.000 --> 19:39.000 You have to make a manual change through all by hand. 19:39.000 --> 19:44.000 So you try and make sure that all the pieces in your Thinkscape file or whatever. 19:44.000 --> 19:46.000 Total stitch file are the same color together. 19:46.000 --> 19:48.000 They're going to come first and then the other color. 19:48.000 --> 19:51.000 But otherwise you're constantly changing threads. 19:51.000 --> 19:55.000 But on that topic of color, you can also buy rainbow thread. 19:55.000 --> 19:59.000 So changes color along the lengths of the thread makes beautiful things. 19:59.000 --> 20:01.000 Really beautiful things. 20:01.000 --> 20:04.000 You just can't predict exactly how it's going to come out. 20:04.000 --> 20:05.000 But that's good. 20:05.000 --> 20:06.000 Fix speed. 20:06.000 --> 20:08.000 I don't agree with Margaret here. 20:08.000 --> 20:11.000 My machine will go slower and faster. 20:11.000 --> 20:13.000 But not so huge range. 20:13.000 --> 20:17.000 So I can slow it down if I think it's going to be tackling difficult material. 20:17.000 --> 20:20.000 I don't want to break the needle or the thread or something. 20:20.000 --> 20:22.000 I think this is important. 20:22.000 --> 20:23.000 Class from friendly possible. 20:23.000 --> 20:24.000 I'm in education. 20:24.000 --> 20:25.000 I want to show people this. 20:25.000 --> 20:29.000 I want to persuade them to do more computing through embroidery. 20:29.000 --> 20:32.000 So having the ability to take it to conferences. 20:32.000 --> 20:33.000 You'll find another room here. 20:33.000 --> 20:37.000 My friends pulling masks and others have machines in the rooms. 20:37.000 --> 20:39.000 There are more total stitch sessions today. 20:39.000 --> 20:40.000 I believe on the program. 20:40.000 --> 20:42.000 So you can go and look for those. 20:42.000 --> 20:44.000 It's the size of a sewing machine. 20:44.000 --> 20:45.000 That's portable. 20:45.000 --> 20:46.000 Smaller frame sizes then. 20:46.000 --> 20:48.000 They're big machine over here on the right. 20:48.000 --> 20:51.000 This is the machine of course that Margaret has in the University of Warwick. 20:51.000 --> 20:53.000 In the center for manufacturing. 20:53.000 --> 20:55.000 It's a wonderful machine. 20:55.000 --> 20:57.000 A multiple thread colors without changing threads. 20:57.000 --> 21:00.000 It will make lovely things faster, noisy. 21:00.000 --> 21:02.000 Some training needed. 21:02.000 --> 21:05.000 What she means by some training needed is not to operate the machine. 21:05.000 --> 21:06.000 I think that's what she really meant. 21:06.000 --> 21:09.000 She meant you have to build up your strength to carry it. 21:09.000 --> 21:13.000 When she moves it, she has two man lifts. 21:13.000 --> 21:16.000 Two man lifts, two person lifts please. 21:16.000 --> 21:18.000 But I know what you're saying, Max. 21:18.000 --> 21:21.000 She gets her two technicians to come and help and move it. 21:21.000 --> 21:22.000 And it's a big problem. 21:22.000 --> 21:24.000 The car might not be able to take it and so on. 21:24.000 --> 21:27.000 So these are issues that might be a problem. 21:27.000 --> 21:28.000 Many more chases of frame size. 21:28.000 --> 21:29.000 You can imagine. 21:29.000 --> 21:32.000 So this is much more professional tool than the other one. 21:32.000 --> 21:35.000 But if you're going to do this in that kind of free and open source weight, 21:35.000 --> 21:40.000 you're looking around 800 to 1000 euros depending on how big a machine you get 21:40.000 --> 21:43.000 in terms of frame size in particular. 21:43.000 --> 21:46.000 I think is the big factor from my point of view anyway. 21:46.000 --> 21:49.000 And you don't care about lots of fancy things on the machine. 21:49.000 --> 21:52.000 You just want it to do the job because you do all the fancy things on the computer. 21:52.000 --> 21:54.000 Okay, there are problems. 21:54.000 --> 21:57.000 I'm not going to go into those unless you ask me. 21:57.000 --> 22:01.000 You know, you have to be a crafter. 22:01.000 --> 22:03.000 Prepare to engage with the machine. 22:03.000 --> 22:04.000 Understand it. 22:04.000 --> 22:05.000 Play with it. 22:05.000 --> 22:06.000 Make mistakes. 22:06.000 --> 22:07.000 Those kinds of things. 22:07.000 --> 22:10.000 Like any other kind of manufacturing process, I would say. 22:10.000 --> 22:12.000 So just bear that in mind. 22:12.000 --> 22:15.000 And then there are materials and threads. 22:15.000 --> 22:17.000 You can do things on card. 22:17.000 --> 22:20.000 You can do things on silk as I did with my silk scarf. 22:20.000 --> 22:21.000 You have to be careful then. 22:21.000 --> 22:23.000 And you can do things on felt. 22:23.000 --> 22:25.000 That's the easiest material probably. 22:25.000 --> 22:26.000 And so on and so on. 22:26.000 --> 22:28.000 And you can make lovely, lovely things. 22:28.000 --> 22:31.000 It's worth saying that you can also from turtle stitch, 22:31.000 --> 22:36.000 export as SVG and print or cut material. 22:36.000 --> 22:39.000 I didn't do that, but I know people do. 22:39.000 --> 22:41.000 And here's some products. 22:41.000 --> 22:45.000 I believe there is a, is the finger thing already on. 22:45.000 --> 22:46.000 I think it is. 22:46.000 --> 22:48.000 Finger puppets, you can see at the top. 22:48.000 --> 22:50.000 The top left, I think they're going on now. 22:50.000 --> 22:52.000 Simply two layers of material. 22:52.000 --> 22:53.000 The outline of a finger puppet. 22:53.000 --> 22:54.000 Cut out the extra. 22:54.000 --> 22:56.000 Now you've got something to put on your fingers. 22:56.000 --> 22:59.000 Children love that stuff. 22:59.000 --> 23:00.000 There's some links. 23:00.000 --> 23:01.000 And that's me. 23:01.000 --> 23:03.000 So I'll leave it on the link screen and stop and take any. 23:03.000 --> 23:05.000 Have we got any time for many more questions? 23:05.000 --> 23:06.000 No, times up. 23:06.000 --> 23:07.000 Two minutes. 23:07.000 --> 23:09.000 So any questions if you want. 23:09.000 --> 23:11.000 Oh, I was going to strip wasn't I. 23:11.000 --> 23:13.000 This is part of the love affair. 23:13.000 --> 23:14.000 But we won't go into that. 23:14.000 --> 23:16.000 And this to come and ask me personally. 23:16.000 --> 23:22.000 But the, um, in the two minutes. 23:22.000 --> 23:24.000 Well, if you don't ask a question, I'm going to keep talking. 23:24.000 --> 23:28.000 Quick. 23:28.000 --> 23:29.000 Quick. 23:29.000 --> 23:30.000 Yeah, gone. 23:30.000 --> 23:35.000 Yes. 23:35.000 --> 23:36.000 Yes. 23:36.000 --> 23:37.000 So I didn't show you. 23:37.000 --> 23:38.000 And I should have done. 23:38.000 --> 23:40.000 There is a turtle stitch website. 23:40.000 --> 23:41.000 And you can sign up to it. 23:41.000 --> 23:43.000 And you can save your projects there. 23:43.000 --> 23:45.000 And I'm going to see other people's projects. 23:45.000 --> 23:46.000 You can remix their projects. 23:46.000 --> 23:49.000 So you can look at all my work and remix it and make your own. 23:49.000 --> 23:50.000 It's easy enough. 23:50.000 --> 23:51.000 Yeah. 23:51.000 --> 23:55.000 I don't recommend that because my code. 23:55.000 --> 23:57.000 But yeah, I wanted to show you this. 23:57.000 --> 23:59.000 If again, quick, give us a question. 23:59.000 --> 24:01.000 I'm not going to take the other shirt off. 24:01.000 --> 24:02.000 I'm taking this shirt off. 24:02.000 --> 24:05.000 I'm going to take a look at the cuts and I can't do it. 24:05.000 --> 24:07.000 And I'm not going to learn things on the website. 24:07.000 --> 24:10.000 And you can get to other people's projects by jumping in. 24:10.000 --> 24:11.000 Quite. 24:11.000 --> 24:12.000 Quite. 24:12.000 --> 24:13.000 It's really good. 24:14.000 --> 24:15.000 Yeah. 24:15.000 --> 24:20.000 Are there machines that are open source? 24:20.000 --> 24:21.000 No. 24:21.000 --> 24:22.000 I don't think so.
