Also don't forget Linus him self wrote one of the embroidery machine drivers for Linux.
I used to use the Melco and Pantagrams digitizing software and operated kiosks doing custom embroidery.
People always asked "can I get anything on a hat?" The reasons I said no before no longer exist.
Punching out a DST is not the same as clean sewouts and NewHat attempts some machine emulation and classification of generated designs. They're virtually sewn and ranked for some reinforcement learning.
Cricut's software is such a bloated and dysfunctional steaming pile of garbage but the machine itself seems well built.
I'm curious, how do you make sure that the embroidery files are valid of the file type (.exp) for example, and that B) things aren't done in such a way that cause the needle to break, stiches to overlap too much, etc etc that would otherwise harm a machine that reads the file?

Always room for another though.
So.. eh.
I mean it's cool and all, and at least claude did do proper attribution in the code, but your post kinda does not and neither does the readme.
That's not exactly in spirit of FOSS.
