My wife has had a Baby Lock embroidery machine for a few years now. She also has the Floriani software that’ll let you convert regular images into embroidery patterns the machine can work with. Now she wants a drawing tablet for creating and modifying designs.
She uses her machine for everything from clothing to 3D interlocking decorations. I can hear her machine going right now in the other room making shadow boxes for Christmas.
What drawing tablet would you recommend?
She has a dual boot Windows/Mac MacBook so I’m not too worried about compatibility. She doesn’t have a particular model in mind and says she’s open to ideas because she hasn’t looked yet and doesn’t know what to expect. The only requirement might be that it uses a stylus. She asked for something basic: “color fills/lines and easy editing.” It’s for Christmas so I can’t ask her too many obvious questions, that’s why I’m here hoping you’d have similar needs/wants.
Tablets without display work really well for simple stuff. Evern for more involved things like painting but you have to adjust to the hand-eye mismatch.
If she plans to do more stuff with it (painting, drawing, image/video editing) I would go for a display one.
I’ve used wacom and huion. Both are ok.
