Inkstitch - Advanced Satin Techniques, tips and tricks
the only thing that keeps me away from opensuse is that i feel like it's corporate linux in disguise and so the commununity is mostly suse devs pushing what they want, just like in fedora otherwise i think they do a lot of things right
Thanks for the review. Here's my 2 cents. I'm also a Tumbleweed user, and I'm sticking to it like if I were holding a holy grail. However, Nobara looks good also, and since I'm a gamer, I might consider a switch, if it weren't a hobby distro. Imho in the #11 of his FAQ this phrase is veeeery a double edged sword, and this is why I'm not taking that as a serious distro: "As long as I am alive and using linux this project will continue" and he starts talking about his fater and such... this makes nobara and GloriousEggroll look so very unprofessional. I mean, I get it, its a hobby duct-taped distro that is held together by dream and love, but still, why making such a project, and ruin it with a FAQ like that?! Then don't distribute it IMHO - I wish Fedora would make an official spin like nobara's, so I'd defo take it from there, because at least I know they'll be there forever lol. Tumbleweed is still the #1
Quick question, the font I chose to follow along did not have a stroke outline. Will this only work with specific fonts?
If it's a system font go into fill and stroke and set fill, no stroke. Duplicate that layer and go into fill and stroke on that new layer. Set no fill, stroke, set stroke to about 1.5 mm. Inkstitch > tools: satin > convert line to satin
Quick question.. When you were testing the BETA version of this latest inkstitch, you tried to open the lettering COLLEGE, (the one you shared with us), but you encountered a weird issue or warning that did not let you use that lettering. I use a lot the COLLEGE lettering because i like it a lot, so my question is: Does this COLLEGE lettering works fine with the released V3.1.0 version? I believe i will install the new version in the following days but I wouldn´t want to not being able to use it. Thanks again for your help.
I'm such a slacker I didn't even try it lol 🤣🤣. Definitely a good question though. Thank you for the kudos on the colleege font I made 😁 I will try it after work and let you know if you don't beat me to it.
So i tried it and it still gives me an error, but it works anyway as expected
@@LowTechLinux Great. Thanks for taking the time to try it out. Cheers!
I am so excited to try some of these. Thank you
The new Inkstitch has a Tartan fill. Please consider doing a video on the Tartan fill and the Tartan fill menu. Looks neat and can incorporate multiple colors, but can get complicated on how the parts interact.
Next video will be all about fill. I'll cover tartan in that. Thank you
Thank you so much for these videos. They are incredibly helpful.
I have an issue. When I tried installing InkStitch it went in okay, but then my anti-virus (Norton) software deleted it a few minutes later and now it acknowledges InkStitch is there but all the options are greyed out. What should I do? Attempt to install it again?
Yes. You'll have to reinstall it and whitelist it in Norton before you run it again
Thanks. Sorry to be a pain but how do I whitelist it in Norton? Do I need to uninstall InkStitch before doing this?
do an uninstall with inkstitch, then reinstall it, then whitelist in norton before you run inkscape/inkstitch. I'm not familiar with norton, and honestly don't recommend it, but I found this. If not 100% accurate it should get you pretty close to where you need. support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v3672136
Why not choose flatpak inkscape if I may? I know some of us are using Aeon and Atomic distros and flatpak is viable for the segment
By default, a repo install of inkscape puts the extensions folder into (iirc) ~./config/inkscape/extensions That is where inkstitch looks for inkscape to satisfy the "is installed" query. Flatpaks put the extension into (again iirc) /var/lib/flatpak/Inkscape/extensions inkstitch can't find it and the query "is installed" returns false. if it knows the system you're on it will actually do a repo install if it can, if not it will fail to install. Snaps pu the extension into (again iirc) /var/lib/snapd/inkscape/extensions same "is installed" returns false as flatpak, same attempt to install from repo will proceed. appimg (again iirc) runs it's folders from the appimg location and those folders are temporary (This is from long ago, it may be different now). immutables take this problem to another level, Everything is sandboxed and has no user privileges. So if you try to install something to an extension folder in the system, only root has access. Only root has access to run them as well. There's definitely ways for a more experienced user to make them work, for the layman using linux I say "just don't use snaps or flatpaks, or appimg. Only install from repo"
This video is very useful for those like myself who are aiming to move from Leap to Tumbleweed. Thank you for this helpful upload.
You're very welcome!
Thank you for the amazing tutorial! Very detailed and easy to follow and understand! absolute pleasure to watch :)
thank you
Thank you so much for these tutorials! This is exactly what I needed, so glad I found your channel. I would love to see a basic patch tutorial built in Ink/Stitch!
I really liked it and I am excited to see the next beginner video. Thank you so much for doing this!!! You are a fountain of knowledge!
Thanks for this video. I already watched some of your videos as you take your time to explain why you do certain things. Most of the stuff you showed I had already seen in your previous vids but it's a nice summary/refreshment. Didn't know the flatten image... remember you used so subtract objects to cut them out or you could start from a png to trace them back... this is much better😅. Maybe one thing you could show to people beginning as I'm also still learning (2 months tinkering in spare time) is maybe showing how to group objects by fill or stroke color and put them in a good logical sequence to avoid having to switch colors more than needed on the machine. Thanks again! Looking forward on learning more
Tha k you for the reply. It's refreshing to hear that I'm good for repeating myself. As you get older you like to hear that's ok lmaolol... The grouping by fill color and objects list will be on the fill video.
waiting for new distro contents or related to opensuse
It's coming. I'm doing the inkstitch series then I'm moving the channel in a Linux only direction. Except I am fixing to throw in a review of cosmic alpha

holy mother of god almighty, it worked FLAWLESSLY!!! WOW!
Thanks for the review, very much needed. Starting my journey.
Thank you! I’d rather learn this than pay for hatch!!!
Thank you!
Nice video. One question, though… I’m doing embroidery and have ink stitch for that purpose. But why would this be done in InkStitch as opposed to InkScape? Or would it automatically migrate to InkScape? Sorry if that’s a dim question, but I’m only 3 days into this entire program.
Inkstitch is a plugin for inkscape and can't work without it. They work together and many tools we use to digitize are both inkscape tools and inkstitch tools.
Hi sorry which format would i save a text i digitized if i want to just sent it to my embroider
What embroidery machine do you have?
Thank you for this, I'm running the current version on a Mac, would be nice to see how to install some of their fonts into the font library...
I enjoy your videos cause they're straight to the point, easy to follow and not overly edited
Thank you
@@LowTechLinux ohh since you're reading comments i have a question. Im trying to create a file for the Slytherin logo, but the black part of the logo is quite complex and its really a mess of nodes and doesn't even appear in the simulation. Can you point me to a video you made that might help me clean it up so it can be embroidered? Thank you!
I looked up the slitherin logo, very complex if you're doing it as direct as it can be. The fact that it doesn't show up in simulation tells me there's something wrong that inkstitch can't make use of it. Select the top most layer to get everything and run inkstitch > troubleshoot > troubleshoot objects and it might tell you what the problem is.
Very cool!! It seems they kept the realistic preview separated from simulator. I will need to revisit your beta testing tutorial of this last version. :) Thanks a lot for your guidance.
honestly thats the only part I don't like. It seems there's something keeping them from doing the new realistic preview in the same window as siimulate. They have mentioned bringing it back but it didn't make it to release.
Is there a way to adjust the stitch length in the "E-Stitch"? Mine are very long like guitar strings.
The length of the teeth are determined by the width of you satin stitch line. As a hacky remedy you can do params, set pull comp to a negative number i.e. -1,
Thank you waiting for the new lessons
I have inkscape 1.4 beta on my 2009 Imac running mojave and inkstitch 3.1 works fine (just a bit slow) with it.
excellent, thank you for the field report
Because my system is old (mojave) I do get the 'hassle' of having to OK it via system preferences but good to know inkstitch & inkscape are still supporting older hardware/software
*runs to down load update*
The software firewall might not be needed at home but on public Wi-Fi or at work, having dangerous ports closed is a good idea. Still, I think allowing printers and smb at the least on "private" networks by default would be a reasonable compromise. Blocking everything by default is a good way to get someone frustrated enough to just shut it off entirely, which defeats the purpose! Hell, firewall and printer are part of YAST, why not have the YAST printer dialogue ask you if you want to open printer ports on this network when you hit the add printer button?
All good points and I like your solution. That would be a very good thing
Another migrant from Manjaro here, I've had much the same experience. Manjaro ran well and with AUR enabled I never had an issue getting the software I wanted. Still, the guys behind Manjaro are weird and I wanted to get away from arch stuff and I wanted the latest from KDE so I tried fedora and hated it, Tumbleweed has been great for me (minus the printer shenanigans). Every distro has its issues but Manjaro definitely handled the out of box experience better with the printers and codecs. The more limited default repository isn't an issue for me because I actually like flatpak and appimage, I think Linux on the desktop for normies could never happen without the success of them.
Well said. I think we are long lost Linux brothers lol. I've grown to love tumbleweed and many of the frustrating things for me are no longer there since plasma 6 arrived. Like you said they all have their minor issues but I think tumbleweed does the rolling thing the best.
I just installed Tumbleweed on (one of the many drives on) my desktop tower. So far I have to say it's pretty damn great.
Outstanding. A lot of what I used to gripe about is fixed now since KDE 6 happened.
It's a great client if you live in the 90s Even though I mostly use it to delete emails it still manages to annoy me
Can i know what CPU and GPU power you running on? I not sure my old Intel i5 notebook and NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GPU can run it smoothly. TQ
Worked first time, ty ty.
Is there a way to do this with a Satin Stitch? I've created letting using Zig Zag to Satin Stitch, but I have it overlapping letting that has a fill colour and Satin Stitch overtop. I'd like to not fill under the bottom later anywhere that my top layered Satin Stitch is, but because it's not a shape, I can't seem to get it to work. Thanks so much for your content, I've learned so much!
Great video
The first example didn't work for me. I did it like in the movie and the filling didn't become satin but straight stitches :(
I am working on a new beginner guide series for the new version and will be doing another satin stitch guide.
Does it generate PES files for Brother devices?
Yes. I used it for pes for brother until we needed dst for ricoma. I still make pes for some folks too. Save as SVG first, then save as dst.
@LowTechLinux Ricoma is Big 💰 Bucks. 😆 I do have a colleague who sells work garments and uses a Toyota multi 🪡 needle unit. I have to wait to grow up to get a Toyota 😆
We have a ricoma em1010 and a ricoma 1501mt. We started out with the 1010. When I realized it sucks for hats I got the 1501. If I could have a do over I'd go straight to the 1501
Is zupper on suse better than dnf in easy of use and the speed of downloading
imo opinion they are about the same. dnf5 (i think the most current) is a bit faster than zypper. but they are working to make zypper faster so it should improve there. syntax is very similar, dnf install *package zypper install *package dnf remove *package zypper remove *package you can also shortcut zypper commands like so: zypper in *package and zypper up is short for update and zypper dup is short for distribution upgrade (use this for tumbleweed updates)

Hi there, love the video, wanted to ask do you have to set the rand range for Y? I want to make objects fall randomly from the sky for a game I’m making and want them to all start at y=0
No, you can set y to anything and have it spawn on a random x anywhere along that defined y. I recommend setting y above your skyline. If your top is y=0, set your y line to y=20 so it spawns above the visible field and then falls into view from the top
Nice intro. I'd like to see a demo of remote and automated installation options. For instance - feeding a config file to a virtual proxmox/virtual install. Also a remote install where it calls home for remote install. What do you think?
Good idea, 👍 I'll have a look at doing that
Thanks for kicking the tires on this! Looking forward to trying this on future openSuse installa
Gorgeous and well-thought-out. The only thing I do not like is, that you are not (optionally) accompanied through all the options chronologically. You have to go through them all by yourself and come back to the overview-dialog. Although the overview-dialog looks very cleaned-up.
openSUSE team never disappoints. They been taking software innovation to a greater extent and I just love it.
