Algorithmic Embroidery — Koch Snowflake

Programmatically generated a Koch snowflake fractal using recursive Python and exported it as an Inkscape SVG, then converted to embroidery stitch paths using InkStitch. The result was executed on a CNC embroidery machine.

The challenge was optimizing stitch density and direction to accurately represent the fractal's fine detail — especially at higher iteration levels where curves become intricate and thread overlap must be minimized.
