For everyone who couldn't see the file after saving it with an empty directory, open up the extensions folder that you had previously set in your preferences. After oppening that right click extension in lest of the "search extensions" and copy address then past that in to the directory slot!! it worked for me !!
Okay for everyone having trouble with the Inkscape is damaged first make sure you have the right versions for both programs According too your computer version then deleted all of Inkscape and re-download and make sure it opens and runs before adding the extensions then add them while the app is still open then close and restart it and it should work.
I have gone through COUNTLESS of videos! everyone claiming they are a pro. This was the easiest tutorial to follow without having to buy an extremely expensive platform! This was AWESOME IM SHOOK!
THANK YOU! You have saved me so much time and money. I really appreciate you making this video. I just bought my machine without realizing how expensive software is to be able to use my own designs. This has helped me create things such as business shirts for my dad without having to spend hundreds more on software.
For everyone having trouble downloading the PES file, change the location to your computer's downloads folder. You can find the link by opening up download, pressing the settings button, and then press the option "copy downloads as pathname". That is the link you can insert into directory.
All the Mac users who can't get this work, their website's instructions are outdated. If you're downloading it new, don't bother with the file download - we're going to do it through Terminal. If you already downloaded the file and installed it, you're going to have to delete it before it'll work (or just delete Inkscape and try again from scratch). 1. Download Inkscape. Under Inkscape > Preferences > System > copy everything in the "Inkscape extensions:" box. 2. Open Terminal and type "cd [paste what you copied]". Hit Enter. 3. Copy and paste "curl -LJO github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/releases/latest/download/inkstitch-v1.29.1-osx-en_US.zip". This downloads the extension straight to your Inkscape folder and should take a minute or two. 4. Copy and paste "unzip inkstitch-v1.29.1-osx-en_US.zip". This basically installs the extension. 5. Done. Restart Inkscape and it should be under your Extensions.
in part 3 it is also in terminal? , because says "Warning: Failed to create the file inkstitch-v1.29.1-osx-en_US.zip: Read-only Warning: file system" do you know what i did wrong?
what seemed to work for me is clicking on file, save as and putting .pes or whatever file type at the end of your file name! it opened up in stitchbuddy for me and looks good - i'm about to try it out on my machine :)
So much better than most other tutorials. Such a real-world beginners guide that I needed to see; Even things like showing stitch buddy. thx for the vid.
I offer the same service just visit my blog dynamicdezign.com/embroidery-digitizing/ and also visit my website dynamicdezign.com/ that helps you a lot and also feel free to contact me at wilson.dynamicdezign@gmail.com for further queries and orders
Thanks so much for this video! I had such a hard time trying to find free digitizing software. The video would be better if you didn't fast forward yourself at some points though, I'm not sure why you did that but it just makes it harder to follow your process. (if the viewer gets impatient watching you mess with settings they can always just jump ahead in the player on their own!)
You should consider a donation link. Google pay is a good platform. I don't believe they take a percentage like PayPal and Facebook do. You'd be surprised how quickly even small donations grow. It will really help you with expenses for material and thread. Be sure to share with the guys making Inkscape/Inkstitch work. It takes a lot to keep that platform going. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thank you for making this video. I ALMOST made it to the end. I got to Ink Stick "params" part. When I click params, I get an error box. Any suggestions? (I'm on a Mac)
TO EVERYONE WHO GETS AN ERROR WHEN TRYING TO SAVE. make a new folder where you want the file to save, then copy and paste the folder path in the directory box. DO NOT LEAVE IT BLANK.
I did it yesterday and I finally got it to work. If your on Mac the website to download the ink/stitch tool, it says you need to do a couple more steps to get it to work by putting commands in terminal. Follow that and also they moved the embroidery button into a tab under “ink/stitch” if you can’t find it

Windows go to C:\Users\"Your Windows Username"\AppData\Roaming\inkscape -- Once you're there go to extensions and drop the for the extensions in there.
I watched another one if your videos using a google logo image and you went so fast… I am still trying to follow it.. three times trying to catch how you did the layers after you did the break apart. It’s easy enough but the trick is to watch it over and over to be able to mimic your process.

.25 spacing is really dense. Also, I see that the fill is going to perforate the edge because all the needle penetrations line up.
