Simple embroidery effect?

I want to take a logo I created in Adobe Illustrator and give it an embroidered effect for use in a printed piece. I searched for a tutorial on how to do this in Illustrator, but all I could find were a few Photoshop tutorials on the subject. I did manage to find some software that does this, but it’s PC only. http://www.drawstitch.com/index.php/Products/Embroidery_Effect/

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Do a search for 'Embroidery i2' in case you need that frequently.

Yes, I saw that but I'm spinning my wheels. It seems like Adobe should have a plugin for this kind of effect.

Here is some of the stuff created with Drawings 6 from Corel. Why isn't this possible with Illustrator?

Yes scribble is lacking the ability to follow path direction. You would have to draw a straight line, do scribble effect, then expand and make that into an art brush. You would need 2 different lengths to do the purple sunrays and the circle. The orange and blue would  be stacks of 2 colors.

It does seem that the last few Illustrator updates are light on creative features such as this. I hope they are done redesigning icons and user interface, so they can give us an upgrade to get excited about.
