Newbie here, received a request from old frat brother and little sister for their crest. They want a sign for school. Looking for Pi Kappa Alpha (Pikes) and Alpha Phi pattern. Looking for some help.

I just googled Pike Crest and got a great picture which I saved to my computer. I then can import it into PE and raise or lower it to get the best carve....save it to the Favorites in the Library and paste it on your project. 63890

I played with it in PE and just couldn't get it to look good....the radiating lines are a problem. I think I would email the jpg to alan at alan@patternhelp.com and see what he would charge to clean it up so it would carve good. He is really good at getting the jpg into a usuable ptn or mpc file. Short of that it will take several hours on PE to get rid of all the uwanted tabs and fill in some of the voids.

Your image is very small and not clean, will this one work for you?

I calculated:

.40x14=5.60
.60x7=4.20
.80x12=9.60
Total=$19.40
