Very cool! Awesome tutorial. Never touched Inkscape/Inkstitch before but after following your details, my first design looked better than Hatch and PE Design! Very nice job! Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorials. I have seen other Inkscape/Inkstitch videos and, though they were also helpful, yours is a bit more in depth and helped me fix problems the others hadn't addressed with grouping colors. And now I know how to add curved text to a design, too. I'm looking forward to Christmas a lot more now (my embroidery machine is a Christmas gift).
Awesome, thank you for the kind words. We are now using inkstitch in a commercial setting. It works great. Once you get past the learning curve everything makes sense and it all gets easier. Have fun and enjoy. If you have questions just let me know and I'll try my best to answer it. Happy stitching 😁
I am going to give this a go. One thing I learned from digitizing you never want your stitches to be at a 90 degree or 45 degree angle. You can do something slightly off. because you can get a weird stitch out.
I love these tutorials, but I have a question. I know you can change thread color in your machine software or just load the color you want on the machine, but the lettering I put on my design defaulted to green and I want it to be gold. Can I change that in InkStitch?
Yes. If it's a satin stitch, select your lettering, then press and hold the left shift and click the color you want from the line of colors on the bottom row. Alternatively, select your lettering, go to the fill and stroke tool, and set the stroke color there.
Great info for adding borders and curving text! Do you think removing underlay would help reduce the lines of stitching seen under the less dense fill areas without compromising the stitch out quality?
Thank you. If your primary goal is to reduce density (for a minor see through effect) I think removing underlay would work great. Make sure you have a really good stabilizer to keep the fabric from moving around. You could also change the params of the underlay too, both density and stitch angle.
If I wanted to make an embroidery patch with a white edge that was also embroidered how would I do that if the program automatically removed all white spaces to be no fill?
Hi I had a question so I removed the background and now every color is practically a separate layer so when it’s getting stitched it doesnt show all colors at once for example if the outline is black it’ll only show black is there anyway or merge all colors together?
I'm sorry but I don't really understand your question. I think you're asking about grouping the same colors together? If that's it you can select a color, then go to edit > select same > fill color. That selects all the same colors, then right click on one of those selected layer objects and group.
Thank you so much for your advices and explaintions !
Thank you 😁
The best part about all your videos is one single word: “OUTSTANDING” !! ~klb~
Outstanding (I bet you read that in my voice saying it lol)

🤣😂😁
Best tutorial I have seen yet. To the point, no frills, just the way I like them! Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome and excellent. Thank you 😁

Thank goodness I found you! I’m learning Inkscape so I can make own embroidery files. Your videos are excellent and very thorough.
Thank you
Thanks for the video. To get objects out of their groups easier, select object, then Menu > Object > Pop Selected Objects out of Group.
Outstanding. Thank you.

Agreed, straight vertical or horizontal isn't great
This is awesome! Thank you! 👍

You thinking of a satin border around the edge or more of a filled area like a patch?

Can one add different fonts?
Yes. I haven't checked the details yet but yes you can
