Hi, My name is Josh Latham. I'm the owner of August Embroidery dot com.
I have played with machine embroidery since the early 2000s when I bought my first embroidery machine, a Singer Futura. At the same time I started learning how to digitize my own designs using the first edition of DRAWings software. Today I am using Embrilliance Stitch Artist 3 to hand digitize my designs and use a Brother PE800 to test stitch them.
Besides my interest in embroidery, I am a self taught pattern maker and I was a contract sewer for over 20 years. Check out some of my personal finished objects below.
I also love 3D modeling and am an expert at using Blender software. Machine embroidery, 3D modeling, pattern making all require you to use both sides of your brain and I love to be challenged in that way.
And when I find the time I love reading a good book. I prefer nonfiction mostly.
