    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.

    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    All the Mac users who can't get this work, their website's instructions are outdated.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.

    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.

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

    Thanks for the tutorial, but maybe don't speed up through the important parts like where to find the menu options you are pointing us to.

      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.

    Thank you for your hard work to share a free option to create custom embroidery.

    Thanks for helping find a free program. Your instructions weren't helpful because it seems like things started to happen that you were not expecting. When I traced bitmap my google kept its color so I didn't have the issues you had. It looks like you chose an different option.
