You sir deserve a bucket of praise. This videos are a golden gem for the open source community and for hobbyists looking to get into this area. My humble thanks for the amazing collection of videos
Thank you so much for the well thought out and patiently crafted steps. This is a most helpful and informative tutorial. Stay safe and well. Kindest regards from Sydney Australia 😃
Oh, hey. This is also very very very much come in handy for converting some objects into satin stitch. I have a shamrock, a Egyptian scarab, and an Octopuss I want to make satin stitch!
Thank you for your teaching the free software. I like your control panel display which is easy to see. i have Mini Mac and unable to set up your settings. Please teach me how to display . Thanks in advance.
This! This! This is exactly what I need. I have been trying to convert calligraphy font to satin stitch. Trying to do so there was multiple jump stitches crisscrossing a letter and the satin would not follow the curve. More steps, though the results will be what I want. I will just have to build a library of single words that can be combined with other of a like font, such as Happy, Welcome, Love, Anniversary, Merry, Greetings, Wine, Cheer. You get it. I can build a library of just single letters too for initials of people or things. Inc. SNAFU, LOL, U.S.S., Etc. Question. Can I trace bit map on the font to put a border around a letter or word after using this method, Trace bit map, object to path, stroke to path, no fill, stroke 3mm. ?
I'm guessing you mean the rungs that cross the rails for doing satin stitches. The rungs are necessary for inkstitch to know how to create the satin stitch. It also allows you to manipulate the directions of the satin stitch. This video might answer your questions better. ruclips.net/video/M38GK7iRu0k/видео.html
I am following along and have made my 2 lines going up and combined them but it won't do a satin stitch . I get each line separately. I get an error that says object has a fill but should not. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Select the object you have made, go into fill and stroke (objects > fill and stroke). select the fill tab and hit the x (make sure there is no fill). Select the stroke paint tab, select flat color (right next to the x), and make sure (at the bottom) opacity is 100%. Check stroke style tab and make sure dashes is set to a solid line, not dashes. Let me know if this helped, if not we will troubleshoot more.
Nice tutorial! How can I make the ends of each satin stitch stroke match the original's convex or curved cap, or even taper/point? Looks like you opted for a simpler flat edge in each case.
Hi. Thank you for this tutorial! I tried to do the same thing like at 10:22. But I want to make all horizontally and when I do this I have an error. Please help me.
If you want the stitches to all run horizontally you would use fill stitch and not satin stitch. Just use the inkscape lettering tool to make your letters, select the whole letter path, object > object to path. Inkstitch > tools: fill > break apart fill objects
Thank you 😁 Lots of questions... 1. Is it the inkscape text (on the left side menu) or inkstitch lettering (extensions > inkstitch > lettering) 2. Can you left click on the text box and get a cursor? 3 is there a cursor but when you hit a key nothing shows up? 4. Do letters appear in the text box but not onscreen?
Hey buddy. I've just started learning how to digitize (your videos have helped so thanks for that) and I've got a good start, but I'm having troubles with the runner stitches. Every time I add one like you do where necessary to help avoid jump stitches, nothing changes. I don't combine them with the area I'm adding the satin stitch. I have it below the stitch, I have the dotted line... I cannot figure out why the runners wont do their job. Any suggestions?? Thanks man. Much appreciated.
When you have the need for a running stitch to get you from one place to the next without jumps, those need to be in order of stitching. In other words in this video, the horizontal for the D is followed by the running stitch to finish out the shape. So it goes satin stitch > running stitch > satin stitch. In the example: ruclips.net/video/LFdQuHP5dRY/видео.html remember that the order of stitching goes from bottom up in the object tree.
@@LowTechLinux I just figured that out a minute ago. I deal with layers everyday in Photoshop/illustrator. Can't believe I didn't think of it. Bah. Thanks for replying though. Much appreciated my man.
Hmmm MRS, MS, and Miss are giving me fits. "M" and "R". The way that the vertical and the angles come together for "M" and the open center in the "R". Break up "M" into two verticals and "V" ?
If your M is stick figure not rounded you might be better of doing each stick as in | \ / |. For the R do the first up | then do the rounded part from there down to the leg. Do a running stitch to the bottom of the leg and satin back up. Then finish off the rounded part.
I need help! Thank you for the tutorial! I am trying to do the satin stitch to running stitch into a satin stitch, but whenever i hit the params button to preview it, the running stitch does not appear! I even put the object layers in the correct order (bottom - up) and it still does not show up.
If you're selecting more than one object, one or more satin and a running stitch. The running stitch won't preview in params. To see it working together you actually have to do a simulator preview and the running stitch will show again
Thank you for asking. My 76 year old mother is undergoing a series of surgeries for cancer. All is going well and she is scheduled to be released from the hospital on Saturday. I should be back to making videos next week.
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. However, my inkstitch says "has an empty 'd' attribute" error when i run the params. Would you happen to know how to fix it?
This will often occur if you're trying to run params on a non vector object (like a jpg or png image). Make sure you're not including an image file in your params selection. It can also happen if a node has a zero attribute. try Extensions > Inkstitch > troubleshoot > clean up document Also you may run a troubleshoot and it might explain how to fix it If neither of those is the case I would need to see the svg file in order to figure it out. You can attach it to an email to dale@lowtechlinux.com if you'd like me to have a look.
Inkstitch uses either nodes or rungs to make satin stitches. Without rungs the number of nodes on each of the rails needs to match. Otherwise you must use rails. ruclips.net/video/M38GK7iRu0k/видео.html
That's a good question. I did the followups without naming them part 2,3 etc. This is a good one to watch next. ruclips.net/video/ElZD9kuJ3eo/видео.html

Just for clarity, are you trying to satin stitch a border around a satin stitch font?
Nice info, thanks :)
Thanks!
Thank you 😊
Love 👀 this guy channel
hello sir I'm back and I see you have been busy, I have my six needle now and I want to make some patches, If that can be one of your class.
Amazing video, may I ask why you make the cross members, what are their purpose? New to embroidery and learning to create my own designs
I'm guessing you mean the rungs that cross the rails for doing satin stitches. The rungs are necessary for inkstitch to know how to create the satin stitch. It also allows you to manipulate the directions of the satin stitch.

best tutorial! may i ask what version of inkscape you're using in this video?
I think this one was v 1.1
Nice tutorial! How can I make the ends of each satin stitch stroke match the original's convex or curved cap, or even taper/point? Looks like you opted for a simpler flat edge in each case.
Taper is pretty easy. Add nodes to the end of the satin stitch and then put the last one or two on each side closer to each other
Yay!

Love your videos, however inkscape wont allow me to type any text it just shows a box. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you 😁
Lots of questions...
1. Is it the inkscape text (on the left side menu) or inkstitch lettering (extensions > inkstitch > lettering)
2. Can you left click on the text box and get a cursor?
3 is there a cursor but when you hit a key nothing shows up?
4. Do letters appear in the text box but not onscreen?
How do I know if my machine (Brother PE800) recognizes the trims jump stitches?

@@LowTechLinux just tried it out earlier, and you are right! Thank you sir!
nice video! how do you do it with closed letters like R or P
You mean in the fancy old english font?
Hey could you do a video about pull compensation in inkstich? I tried it and it was not a good show😫

Thank you for asking. My 76 year old mother is undergoing a series of surgeries for cancer. All is going well and she is scheduled to be released from the hospital on Saturday. I should be back to making videos next week.
Bonjour, Merci, j'adore vos vidéos😊 Parlez vous Français ?
Merci, No je ne parle pa France.
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. However, my inkstitch says "has an empty 'd' attribute" error when i run the params. Would you happen to know how to fix it?
This will often occur if you're trying to run params on a non vector object (like a jpg or png image). Make sure you're not including an image file in your params selection.
It can also happen if a node has a zero attribute. try Extensions > Inkstitch > troubleshoot > clean up document
Also you may run a troubleshoot and it might explain how to fix it
If neither of those is the case I would need to see the svg file in order to figure it out. You can attach it to an email to dale@lowtechlinux.com if you'd like me to have a look.
@@LowTechLinux will check my project first :) thank you so much! Watching from Tokyo, Japan.
@@googlesslifeinjapan excellent. Please let me know if any of my suggestions work.
❤️ Hello Japan ❤️
why they need cross members, why you use cross members ?
Inkstitch uses either nodes or rungs to make satin stitches. Without rungs the number of nodes on each of the rails needs to match. Otherwise you must use rails.

where is part 2??
That's a good question. I did the followups without naming them part 2,3 etc.
This is a good one to watch next.

@@LowTechLinux thanks dude
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.
Sorry! But all these comments without any like👍?????? Where are your likes???
Thank you 👍
