Thank you Troy. Your videos are so helpful. Having short term memory problems due to MS, the videos are always there for me to see/listen to over and over again instead of bothering the groups! Bless you
I am pleased to be your latest subscriber! Months and months of research all answered here! I wasted lots of precious time! Thank you for clearing up the differences between those file formats and your detailed guidance through your other videos! Great work Troy!!!!!!
I HAVE JUST WATCHED A VERY FEW OF YOUR VIDEOS AND HAVE GOTTEN MORE INFORMATION THAN ASKING A MILLION QUESTIONS OF SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Hi Troy, You are a great inspiration to so many people, me included. I tried Inkscape when I first got my Cricut earlier this year. My daughter passed away last year and I wanted to do her photo in Inkscape so I could cut it in vinyl. I tried and tried to do it but eventually gave up. Now I realize I was trying to do it without first learning how Inkscape worked....I was one of those people you spoke about on your video that tried to do something without first learning how to do it. After watching this video i'm inspired to give it another go AFTER giving myself time to learn Inkscape. Thank you once again for your video.
Thank you so much for taking the time and consideration to make your no-nonsense videos with pertinent information. I got a Cricut Maker last week, and am like, “Wha…?!” I uploaded a self-made mask pattern and it had bumpy lines. That’s what led me to Inkscape. I’m retired, but am not totally behind the times when it comes to tech. Your to-the-point explanations are perfect for me.
Hi Troy, You do inspire me and other people with all your video's and help you give us here on you tube and facebook! Thank you so much for all the time you give us from your personal life! I still haven't tried Inkscape yet after all this time but mainly because I'm always busy making cards for everyone. I save all the video's so when I am ready I can go back to them to learn it! Your encouragement is awesome! Thanks again!
Hopefully RUclips notifies of this new comment on your video. You came highly recommended by Lisa Capen from Lisa Capen Quilts' Channel for me to watch your videos to help me learn Inkscape. So far (I've watched a couple of your videos now) you seem to be making the learning process, of this most valuable software, easier and less intimidating to learn (and hopefully master someday soon). Thank you and I have subscribed and will be continuing to watch and learn from you. Thank you.
Hi Troy, Thank you for all your great videos. I am retired and you and your videos do encourage me to learn!! For me....learning keeps my brain active while acquiring a new skill. But I have to say....I am finding InkScape overwhelming and challenging....but I am persistent!! Thank you again for inspiring and encouraging me while teaching the fine art of InkScape.
Thank you so much for your video. I’ve only watched one but learned more in ten minutes than I had up to this moment. The thorough explanations of why we have to do the steps are crucial to my learning! Casting you to my tv with laptop in place so I can learn hands on!!
Hi Troy, Thank you so much for all your videos on Inkscape. I was very intimated by the program, but I successfully completed all your challenge videos yesterday, and I feel so much more comfortable in just one day!!! Thanks again for all you do to help us!!!!
Hi Troy, just found you and have joined your Facebook group. Just noticed in the background the Big Red Machine. We are big, big Nebraska fans. My husband is from Nebraska and we are so excited for this Saturday. We now live in Orlando and our new coach at UCF is Scott from Nebraska so we now have become fans of UCF also!
This time I downloaded Inkscape again which I had given up on and followed what you did in this video and it worked - I was so pleased! I dont try to do something unless I can do it well and didnt really have the time to take a whole course ... but also hoped to start at the top! Many thanks!
Thank you for your encouraging words. Thank you for making difficult (for me) subjects sound much easier and attainable. Thank you for putting this information out there. Often I find I want the lowdown in plain and easy to understand terms with comparisons to things I may already know - you did this for me here! Appreciate it - Julie
Finally! How to use Design Space that actually makes sense!! As for Inkscape, I have been too intimidated to try it. Now, I won't be. Keep up the great work! You are teaching more of us than you know. Thank you.
Hi Troy, Thank you so much for your video`s,they are so helpfull to me and I learn a lot.Even though english is not my own language(I live in the Netherlands) I do understand a lot more of Inkscape and thanks to you it`s much more simple and clear now, I`ve learned much already and I hope to learn even more.Many Thanks.
Thank very much for this wonderful video. This is the first video I have watched. I am looking forward to the next. I'm a newbie to this. I don't have a fancy computer or the nifty high tech knowledge. I'm hopeful that with time I will learn many new things from you. I absolutely love crafting. I do it for myself, family, friends, and for donating. Sharing your knowledge is an amazing gift. I deeply appreciate it. Thank you for opening a new door for me. 🥂Here's to helping this old gal out with a rock for a brain.
Thanks, Troy. Great information. This video actually encourages me to try learning Inkscape. I will follow your advice to take it step by step and really learn the basics.
Thank you for this video - I will now give up my idea of doing something using Inkscape to import a svg for a birthday card for this weekend😂 I am off to follow your advice and download Inkscape and will follow your videos to the letter until I am adept enough to do my own. I really mean thank you, as you have probably saved me a lot of frustration and sobbing. - cheers Catherine
I have experience with Inkscape and it's been mostly bad. I wish I had seen this video earlier or paid better attention to it. Troy says little things that I did not realize were important until my struggles. Listen closely, it's good advice and it will save you frustration.
+TroyTube, did you know that in Inkscape, you can zoom in and out by holding the control key and using the roller on your mouse? I find it much easier when I'm working than searching for the + or - key's.
Yes, that works in just about any program. The +/- keys without anything else is specific to Inkscape for the most part and is very controlled. A lot of people have issues controlling the mouse zoom, but use whatever works the best for you.
Thanks so much Troy - I really appreciate the time you take making these videos - I will definitely take your advice on how to learn inkscape - and since I am not fond of delayed gratification - it was great to hear it from you
Hi Troy, I have been watching all of your Inkscape tutorials and really appreciate all the info. I have encountered a problem that I haven't found a solution to and hoping you can help. I have not been able to drag and drop an image from Google search to Inkscape. When I click on an image and try to drag, I get a circle with a line through it and cursor snaps back to google. Any solution you may have will be appreciated. Thank you.
Troy, I came across your videos on Inkscape today. I hope you still monitor your site. I understand paths, and union. I typed an entire page of text only in Inkscape. I did union the text. Then found out you can’t union text and be able to modify the text once in design space. Can’t you have a page of text and bring it into design space and change your mind about font or placements, and edit it there???
ok I used Inkscape and created my picture. I got to Design Space, click upload , click upload image, it goes to a "drag and drop or browse" page I click browse, select my image (that is done and saved as .plainsvg) DS pauses a moment then goes back to the browse page. no note or info.
Troy, Really easy to follow tutorials. Well done :) One quick question: Do you (or will you have) a tutorial that involves working with InkScape and Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL)?
Hi Troy! Thank you so much for your videos. So helpful! When you say "download into the design space" do you mean design space of Silhouette (or whatever program the user has)?
Please help.. I don't have photoshop or any other program How else can I design a mock up for shirts, mug, etc? I do have Inkscape but still learning how to use it...Can you please help me
Hi, Troy, I'm so glad I've found you. I teach Brother ScanNCut classes at a Brother dealer and my students are clamoring to learn Inkscape. I'm still trying to get everyone educated on the cutting machine without going into the software I use to create the designs which happens to be Inkscape. I will definitely refer those who are ready to learn to your videos. Quick question---What happens if I've been saving my svg files as an Inkscape svg rather than plain svg, as you advise, and I've sold them to folks who will use them for other cutting machines? Is that going to present a problem when they try to convert them through their cutter's software into the proprietary file types? Thanks, Kathy
+Kathy Guevara The "Inkscape SVG" and "Optimized SVG" options save some additional information with the file. Most software will just ignore this information when you import the file, but I like to minimize the risk of issues by saving as Plain SVG files.
you are very knowledgeable on inkscape. I love you tutorials that are my go to. However, I am having issues with what I want to do. I have taken a picture of my son, cropped it, silhouetted it and saved it as plain inkscape. now I am trying to upload that silhouette into Design Space for a project. it will not let me. what am I doing wrong? really want this picture for a T-shirt. HELP. Thank you
hey Troy your videos are very educational and i love them. but all your videos are putting the imeges into design space and cutting. I have sillhouett cameo and I have saved my image from inkscape and the challenges you have provided but when I go to open them in sillhouett studeo the folder is blank. what did i do wrong. can you please help or make a video on saving from inkscape to actually cutting from a sillhouett cameo?

Thanks Troy. This was extremely helpful. I'm new to Inkscape. I'm uploading all your tutorials. Keep doing what you're doing. We truly appreciate it.
Hi Troy, I'm just starting my Inkscape journey, so pleased I have you to guide me 😱
Regards from Greece 🇬🇧 🇬🇷
OMG, its like you made this video for me. I am back tracking to your Inkscape for Beginners video. Thank you for all your videos.

I was impressed by the first video and then when I saw that there is a whole playlist. :-)
Love, love, love your inkscape videos! Thanks for your time!
Learned more about this in 10 minutes than others... Be watching others... THANKS!
Thanks for the break down and the realistic advice!!!
+TroyTube, did you know that in Inkscape, you can zoom in and out by holding the control key and using the roller on your mouse? I find it much easier when I'm working than searching for the + or - key's.

Love your Big Red Machine print!!
+Julia Snyder Thanks! I'm hoping I can make it up to see them play this year, I didn't make it at all the past couple years.
Thanks so much Troy - I really appreciate the time you take making these videos - I will definitely take your advice on how to learn inkscape - and since I am not fond of delayed gratification - it was great to hear it from you
I was wondering if you can make a video of how to turn an PNG, JPEG or SVG image/drawing into a rhinestone template for Cricut Design Space.

Omg now i know thank you troy for all you do
Hi Troy! Thank you so much for your videos. So helpful! When you say "download into the design space" do you mean design space of Silhouette (or whatever program the user has)?
Why doesn’t the shadows effect not show up for some graphics?
I've sure have been inspired! Thank you!
Please help.. I don't have photoshop or any other program
How else can I design a mock up for shirts, mug, etc? I do have Inkscape but still learning how to use it...Can you please help me

Need more information, "it won't let me" is not anything that can be diagnosed
Thank you for your video.
I'm trying to figure out how to do something to an image but I'm not sure how I could show you the picture on here. I use inkscape also.
thanks Troy..................
Thank you for the wonderful video's.

+remarkabul you need the Designer Edition of Silhouette Studio to import SVG files
TroyTube oh ok thank you. was wondering what my issue was. Thank you
I went to inkscape.org and it says it has a bad gateway. Any ideas?
You said that you have to have clear image. What resolution should I be looking for?
Thank youuuuuuuuu!!
good job
love your videos and Go REDS!
What is a good site to download it free
I like your video but thought this was a learning one not a talking one
