Yes the rectangle is your page. It is usually letter size or A4 depending on the settings. You can adjust the page size. It might be useful to make a page size the same as the stitch area of your hoop e.g. 4 inches by 4 inches. Then you can size your image so that it fits inside the page and therefore will fit inside the hoop. The dimensions of the embroidery are more important than the file size. Your first embroidery was far too big for the hoop. Also you will get a much better stitch out if you use an embroidery stabilizer on the back of the fabric. A cut away stabilizer would work for that thicker knit. For really stretchy knits you will need an adhesive stabilizer. For woven fabrics, a tearaway stabilizer usually works. Those are just general guidelines. You may want to research this topic a bit more. Great that you shared Inkstitch, which is a great free resource for those who cannot afford to buy software. Purchased software will have more features than the current version of Inkstitch, but it is improving all the time.
I want to add: Adjust density, stitch style, stitch angle and so on in the file. Never resize on the machine/the machine file except you're aware of how it'll impact your stitches. Yes, the first file was funny: about 250.000 stitches. Her machine is probably only capable to go up to 50.000 stitches. Beside the size of that embroidery it would have taken her over 100h to embroider with her machine. I'm sorry to say but the whole video shows that she has absolutely no idea what she's doing. I'll look at some never videos to see if she has improved.
This made me so much less intimidated by machine embroidery! So many people on RUclips take it so deathly serious that it makes me afraid to start but the way you handled your mistake with grace and humor 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
You are teaching us how to do things. We are learning by your mistakes lol. I would do the wrong side. You are so talented and creative. I love you so much. You both are wonderful and make my day. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful adventures in art.
I literally laughed out loud when the moment of truth was upon us and we found out the sweater was stitched together 😂 I've totally done this sort of thing before!
I'm pretty sure the rectangle in the middle is your page / work space, that's why it said it was too big because the image went outside / over the lines, if that makes sense. love you by the way, x
yall are some amazing people. thank you for the video it taught me alot and i feel like my brain was able to be "so interested" (I have adhd..) because you're so fun to watch.
That is cool. I love Inkscape for making SVG files and turning hand drawn stuff into SVG and also saving as transparent large PNG files. It's so awesome. I have an older PS and AI but I still use Inkscape the most. - Heidi
Yeah, she could have saved a step doing the vectorizing of the image in inkscape directly. Draw png, load in inkscape, convert to vector, convert to embroidery.
You are not only talented, but creative and absolutely a joy to listen to and learn from. And your wingman (camera guy) completes it all for me. Tears were rolling down my cheeks laughing at the two of you bantering. I am the type, teach, I don’t need all the extra chatter in between. But you and your wingman are awesome. I’m actually going to pay for your channel because you deserve every bit of it.
Don't worry about the sewing mistake, everyone has made mistakes before, as long as ya learn from them and then good to go. Love the designs and they turned out great. Have fun watching you and learning from ya as well. Have a great day and may our Lord bless you in everything you do.
Omg i am so sooo soooooo glad i had this recommended in my YT page!!!! I was hoping to find a way to do this without another $300 program! Thank you thank you thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
OK. You can change the size of your working space. Set it to the same size as your hoop. Also change your tool bar sizing to mm or inches so you can see the size of your icon. So you might want to have a pumkin that's 1inch and once that's 4 inches
As she started the machine I wondered if she had slipped the back of the shirt over the embroidery arm. But good thing is you didn't ruin a shirt you loved!
Thanks for this video- I'm super new to machine embroidery and was wondering if I could stitch my own designs that I've done in procreate. Yes i can!!! Love your vibe ❤
I literally gasped @14:49. I have had that moment and welp....... lessons are learned and mistakes become teaching moments and not failures. Thank you for sharing the whole ride, even when the rollercoaster doesn't exactly follow the desired path. I just pickup up an older machine while thrifting and am excited to get hacking. Thanks for making my ride, just a wee bit easier!!! I love it when the Universe provides🖤
This was a straigt forward tutorial and I'm glad I found this. Now I can get other patterns I want, instead of using the ones standard on my machine. As for the sweater, use it for testing patterns. So you can be extra sure it looks great
So much fun watching you go at it.... I have made the same mistake, ooops another shirt... lol.... never thought about cutting it out and using it as a patch. Loved your video... hope you make more ;) Cheers!
15MINS was perfect help give a heads up to everyone else. Super realistic! Also make the sweater. Patch Sweater, Demo Sweater, and accomplished what you were trying to even if it was a surprise
BAWHAHAHHAHA OMG I'm so sorry you ruined the sweater but it was so funny. And this video was SO HELPFUL! OMG I'm so excited to make things!! Thank you so much for this Knowledge. life. changing.
LOL! Such a cute design, perfect on an orange sweater. Oh, well it will make a great patch. So far I have bought designs. Most are excellent but I got one that is too thick - practically bullet proof. I'm gonna do my own even though I can't draw worth ... beans. Throw something at your peanut gallery.
You said you switched the needle to the embroidery needle- can you please clarify the number of the needle that came with the unit that works as the embroidery needle? I just got one of these and I embroidered with the default standard needle for my first project. Is that okay?
Using convertio to create the SVG saved me. I tried for hours to get it to work prior to this video with an SVG exported out of affinity photo and it wouldn't work! Thank you!
Thank you for the video ! glad to see your mistake ^^ I did the same...ruined a tee-shirt- I spent so much time adjusting and closing the hoop I was mentally drained and forgot to place it properly under the needle... (sigh)
For anyone following along (like me) You actually have to install ink/ stitch into inkscape but it's free and has great instructions on installing (:
Thank you!!!!

You are amazing for sharing all of these little details =)

a year later and im glad i scrolled down before i commented...

Glad I chanced across this site. I've used the Brother SE625 machine in past and want to improvise some PES files 😊
How do you do it with different colors??
You are teaching us how to do things. We are learning by your mistakes lol. I would do the wrong side. You are so talented and creative. I love you so much. You both are wonderful and make my day. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful adventures in art.
I literally laughed out loud when the moment of truth was upon us and we found out the sweater was stitched together 😂 I've totally done this sort of thing before!
Yes we all have 😂
If you haven't sewn something together and had that moment of realization you can't call yourself a sewer lol. The amount of times I've done this too
I love this!! I used to embroider by hand a lot in high school but this is such a fun easy way to upcycle stuff from the thrift store!
Thank you so much! 💜 That’s so cool that you did it by hand, I felt like I wouldn’t be that good at doing it by hand
I'm pretty sure the rectangle in the middle is your page / work space, that's why it said it was too big because the image went outside / over the lines, if that makes sense. love you by the way, x
Who among us hasn’t made a catastrophic mistake like this before. Love that you took it with humor!
She has a refreshing sense of humor😊
THIS (the pumpkin debacle😂)is why I love your videos. So many people would have edited that out. Thanks for the info!

OMG I'm SO excited to watch this! I've had a very nice machine just SITTING because I can't afford the programs. Uggg.
I probably would have never been able to figure this out. Thank you so much !!!
This comment made me laugh so much😂😂

I just bought an embroidery machine for $100 today and this is a lifesaver 😵💫
OK. You can change the size of your working space. Set it to the same size as your hoop. Also change your tool bar sizing to mm or inches so you can see the size of your icon. So you might want to have a pumkin that's 1inch and once that's 4 inches
I can totally see myself doing the same thing with stitching the front and back of the sweater. ❤ I totally understand the rage laugh.
The box you could change it to the size of your hoop. So that it wont be too big in the future. File, documents properties and change the box size
Should have gotten yourself some glow in the dark embroidery thread, could have made all your designs extra spooky for halloween!
I like this style of tutorials, very bob Ross like in its own way
This video was such a great help in getting me started on digitalizing! Thank you so so much!!
As she started the machine I wondered if she had slipped the back of the shirt over the embroidery arm. But good thing is you didn't ruin a shirt you loved!
You should use stabilizer when you embroider. It makes a good difference! Thanks for the software info!
Thanks for this video- I'm super new to machine embroidery and was wondering if I could stitch my own designs that I've done in procreate. Yes i can!!! Love your vibe ❤
Didn't know if you knew. You could've used inkscape to create svg by using trace bitmap. It's under path option.
the second you put the sweatshirt in the hoop i went "shes gonna sew the shirt together isnt she"
I literally gasped @14:49. I have had that moment and welp....... lessons are learned and mistakes become teaching moments and not failures. Thank you for sharing the whole ride, even when the rollercoaster doesn't exactly follow the desired path. I just pickup up an older machine while thrifting and am excited to get hacking.

I can’t believe you picked my suggestion!!! I literally screamed!!! I love how the haunted plant party came out! You did an amazing job as always!
Such a great random idea! I totally want a haunted plant party lol
Thank you so much! I have been trying to do this for years and by the grace of God just stumbled upon your video. You're an embroidering angel! lol
thank you thank you thank you! your tip on importing it as an SVG saved my life!
cut up the whole sweater and use it for a pattern ☺️ vintage boxy clothes are cool again and finding patterns for them is hard sometimes!
Love this video! So funny and learned so much! Thank you 🙌🏽
Omg you had me in stitches!!!! Hahaha! I was seriously laughing out loud..hehe
Thanks for the help
You have helped me more than any other site or teacher. Thank You!!
This was a straigt forward tutorial and I'm glad I found this. Now I can get other patterns I want, instead of using the ones standard on my machine.

Holy shit now she's doing embroidery? Will she stop at nothing? 😱 What an artsy madwoman!
Fantastic, made me laf. This is the thing with embroidery, so many things can go wrong before one masters the art
Bahahaha. We have all had blonde moments like this. I laughed so hard... so relatable.
BAWHAHAHHAHA OMG I'm so sorry you ruined the sweater but it was so funny. And this video was SO HELPFUL! OMG I'm so excited to make things!! Thank you so much for this Knowledge. life. changing.
Lol, I knew it!! 😂😂😂😂 still love it! You need stabilizer too. ❤
This video had me laughing so hard 😂😂
I was looking into the files type and found this video just what I needed plus the humor!❤
I'm so glad you said Procreate. Please tell me something good.
thank you so much! this tutorial was so helpful and now I can make my own embroidery files when i cant find any online!!
How do you make colored embroidery files? (such as designs with multiple colors)
Thank you .
Love your blooper, but I learn alot...your so special...God Bless you guys always.
Girl, your hair is gorgeous!
These are the cutest!
Love this Video! Thank you for your Realness♥️♥️

Great guide, thank you!
Lmao, because I did the same thing lol it was my first time on a sewing machine. Thank you for the video you’re so chill the whole entire time.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH ............
LOL!
Such a cute design, perfect on an orange sweater. Oh, well it will make a great patch. So far I have bought designs. Most are excellent but I got one that is too thick - practically bullet proof. I'm gonna do my own even though I can't draw worth ... beans. Throw something at your peanut gallery.
lmao. That's great. You are great for leaving it in.
ROFL😂I absolutely love this video...learned so much & had fun doing it 😅you're the best 👌🏾
This was awesome, you made me laugh and I also learned something.... Thank you so much for sharing this
how did you get so many formats to save in? I dont have any options to save it as a .pes
any help would be amazing :)
I literally yell NoonOooooooOOoo! use a seam ripper ! when u cut it out😭😅😳
This video helped SO MUCH. Thank you! Subscribed and following along for more helpful tips and tricks!
Luv them all!!!!
Love you for being truthful.
thanks a lot for the video very helpful!! much needed
😆😆😆superb i love reactions. thanks
Does this work for all types of embroidery machines or specifically Brother machines?
Good knowledge video
Can this be done on older machines? Same process of converting a procreate file to an embroidery one?
I love this video 😂😂 something I’d do but 🤷🏽♀️ hey learn something everyday. 👏🏽
came thru 🔥 thank u !!
My 8Mo baby was laughing with you when you sewed the jumper shut
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and mistakes. Can we change the colors of the design with this software?
Thankyou so much i was about to spend money on software i didn't need!
i am new to ink stitch and when i go to see the preview it just does the outline how can i get it to add the details inside as well?
I love how you post your mistakes and you are just real on here. Thank you for showing us the success and mistakes. You are AWESOME !!
Super cool
Why didn’t you use stabilizer?
You said you switched the needle to the embroidery needle- can you please clarify the number of the needle that came with the unit that works as the embroidery needle? I just got one of these and I embroidered with the default standard needle for my first project. Is that okay?
I'm wondering if you can do multiple colors.
Yes you can, as many as you want. It’s a little tedious changing the thread every few minutes but yes!
🎃 thanks for sharing 😅. I learned a lot.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hii may I know can I just use my iPad and not a laptop to do all this will it work ?
You can put haunted plant party on the pocket
Ok Heather, I see you, so cool great job. Hey Shane
I was wondering you never used stabilizer??
thank you so much, this is veryt helpful!!!1
The moment you realized it, my parrot laughed 😂
I kept yelling, didnt you hear me???? You're wonderful!!! A aah! Success!!! You did it!!
lol I saw it coming too and was like, noo!!! lol. As usual, she made it an entertaining learning experience and succeeded in the end :)
Using convertio to create the SVG saved me. I tried for hours to get it to work prior to this video with an SVG exported out of affinity photo and it wouldn't work! Thank you!
Thank you for the video ! glad to see your mistake ^^ I did the same...ruined a tee-shirt- I spent so much time adjusting and closing the hoop I was mentally drained and forgot to place it properly under the needle... (sigh)
If you don’t like the way it came out can you edit it?
Lmfaoooo I think my suggestion was monster tacos or monster nachos 😅
I dont know if you still respond to this but im gonna ask anyway! How long does it take for a design like this to be done sewing?
14:59 The REALIZATION. Omg, it's happened to us allllll.
