Broderimaskinkurs
Bitraf, Brenneriveien 9, Oslo, NO# [NORSK]
Bitraf har en datastyrt broderingsmaskin. For å bruke den, må man først ha gått kurs. På dette kurset blir du broderimaskinkurs sertifisert.
KRAV -
- En må være medlem av Bitraf for å kunne bruke maskinen, medlemskap kan kjøpes på dagen om man ikke har dette fra før.
- En må ha med egen laptop med Inkscape installert.
- Du må også installere Inkstitch. Dette er et tilleggsprogram til Inkscape som vi bruker til å kontrollere maskinen.
Vi kommer til å gjennomgå innholdet på Bitraf wiki's side om Broderimaskin på kurset.
Valgfritt: Ta enten med avispapir, broderi vlieselin, vannløselig vlieselin, eller annet stivt papir som kan egne seg som underlag til broderingsflaten. Vi har stoff og avispapir på Bitraf dere kan øve på, men vi har ikke vlieselin.
Det blir ikke anledning til å brodere avanserte design på kurset, vi holder oss til simple former, helst rette sting, så alle får prøvd. Inkstitch kan gi et tidsestimat på designet ditt, vi holder oss til under 10 min per person i første omgang. Man kan heller booke maskinen til etter kurset i Google Kalenderen vår for å gjøre mer avanserte design.
Hvis du har meldt deg på, men plutselig ikke kan møte på arrangementet, husk å melde deg av på MeetUp slik at det blir ledig plass til andre :)

# [ENGLISH]
Bitraf has a computerized embroidery machine. To use it, you must first have taken a course. On this course you will be certified in embroidery machine courses.
REQUIREMENTS -
- You must be a member of Bitraf to be able to use the machine, membership can be purchased on the day if you do not already have this.
- You must bring your own laptop with Inkscape installed.
- You must also install Inkstitch. This is an additional program for inkscape that we use to control the machine.
We will review the content on the Bitraf wiki's page about Embroidery Machines during the course.
Optional: Bring either newspaper, embroidery non-woven fabric, water-soluble non-woven fabric, or other stiff paper that can be used as a base for the embroidery surface. We have fabric and newspaper at Bitraf for you to practice on, but we do not have non-woven fabric.
There will be no opportunity to embroider advanced designs during the course, we will stick to simple shapes, preferably straight stitches, so everyone can try. Inkstitch can give you a time estimate for your design, we keep it under 10 minutes per person initially. You can also book the machine for after the course in our Google Calendar to do more advanced designs.
If you have registered, but suddenly can't attend the event, remember to cancel your registration on MeetUp so that there is space available for others :)
