Hi Dale thanks for the video I tried adding the pause command but my wife's machine didn't see it so the way I found around it was making each run a different colour and that way the machine paused for a colour change
@@crystaldoucet if you need a pes make sure you save as an SVG first as a master copy. Then go file > save as and change the .svg to .pes. So you end up with file.svg and a file.pes
Thank you so much for this tutorial and for speaking in terms that I can understand. I followed your tutorial and created a simple circle border for patches. I only had one issue, my machine did not follow the stop and trim commands that i added. Instead it went straight through all three layers without stopping/trimming at all. I can still use my file and just sew a t a very slow pace and manually stop and trim but I wold love to find out the reason my machine is ignoring these commands. Can you help me?
Thank you for the kind words. What brand and model number embroidery machine do you have? One thing you could try as a work around is to change the color of each layer. That would instruct the machine to stop to allow a color change. You just hit continue on the machine when you're ready for the next sewing run. Hint: it doesn't know you didn't change colors 😁😁. Let me know if this works for you.
@@mindrhapsodyofficial Looking for bug reports on your machine to inkstitch. Please try to save and use the format .vp3. It seems to be the only one inkstitch and your machine have in common. let me know if that works for you please.
@@LowTechLinux I figured VP3 would be the best format for my machine so that’s how I saved my file. I will remake it or edit my file, in ink stitch with different colors for each layer and see if that works. Thanks for the tip. Do you know what type of stitch I would need to make free standing lace designs? I think it will require multi layered stitches in order to hold shape and not unravel once I remove it from the hoop and dissolve the water soluble, stabilizer. Also, I’ve noticed a few differences in the ink stitch I have installed on my computer and the one that is featured on the official video tutorials. For instance, I watched a tutorial that showed how to install the add ons and thread lists and according to that video, there’s an option to print off a list of thread brands and colors used in the embroidery files we create with ink stitch. My version doesn’t include the print option. I wonder if it’s a new feature and I have an outdated version or if my version is the newest and these tutorials are outdated. Or if my add ons or thread lists, didn’t load properly. I know it’s a lot of questions. I guess I need to contact ink stitch support but they seem to use words that I don’t understand.
@@mindrhapsodyofficial check a project that you know works and go to inkstitch>visualize and export>pdf export. This takes some time to render (similar to simulator preview). Once the pdf is loaded click on settings>design tab. You should see thread palette drop down menu. Select your machine and the threads in the pdf listing will set to your machine palette.
Thank you for the tutorial!! The only part that I am stuck on is the break apart text... When I hit break apart it fills in any circles in the text. For example the small circle in an "e" gets filled in as black. Does anybody know how to solve this???
Lol. That was my response too the first time I tried it, "OMG it worked." That one button turned letters into a very easy thing to implement. Glad it worked for you and happy to help. Happy embroidering 👍😊
Hello there. I have a question for you. I removed the filling of the number 6 in ink stitch. I gave 3 millimeters as stroke. Then when you turn it into an applique, the number is divided into parts and does not give a healthy result.
@@serraninoyunevi Ok, with the six made with no fill and a 3 mil stroke, you should have duplicated it twice. bottom two are for straight stitching with stops and the top one is satin stitch. Which part is going awry?
@@LowTechLinux I did all of these. In the end I turned it into satin, the object fell apart. zigzags were not healthy. The same thing happened with the heart pattern I created. heart broke. zigzags are broken.
Question. I’m following along and after I finish tracing my image and hit enter my outline is very large, not nice and thin like yours. Yours looks more like a stitch line whereas mine looks very, very thick. What is wrong? Please and thank you.
@@LowTechLinux thanks. Strange, when I went back in to change it, this time it was the size like yours. Maybe there’s a glitch with my program? I’m using a Mac Air. Thank you very much for your quick response, btw.
Literally, most useful RUclipsr
Thank you 🤣😂😁
This is THE BEST video for explaining inkstitch I've seen
Thank you so very much
A trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Drake Marcellus Yup, been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)
Once again...a VERY helpful tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to explain and demonstrate!

This is an awesome tutorial for a beginner. So simple. So easy. Thank you!!
Thank you
You explain everything so clearly. Thank you for your videos!!
Thank you

Hello
How do I get my screen to show the paths in detail with the layers on the right like yours?
Top menu, object > objects
How do you export the file to move over to the embroidery machine?
Our embroidery machine has a USB slot. We throw our files on a USB drive and stick it in the machine.
@@LowTechLinux but how do you save it from inkscape? do you convert it to the pes format when saving or leave as svg? new to this thanks in advance
@@crystaldoucet if you need a pes make sure you save as an SVG first as a master copy. Then go file > save as and change the .svg to .pes.
So you end up with file.svg and a file.pes
How do you select 2 layers for provide the same command? Thank you in advance
Left click to select the first one. Hold down cntrl and left click to add more layers to the selection.

I just can't figure this out of following exactly and for some reason I can't break apart my texted I don't know
What version of inkstitch?
Linux, Windows, or Mac?
Do you get any errors on the screen?

There's a button under the fill tab that you need to select.
This video will fix you right up.

What is the working size of the number six you are working with? In other words, what is the height and width of the 6?
@@LowTechLinux 200-300. I think that i could make an applique tshirt with big number 6 and Name . I could not do it.

You need to set the stroke width to a smaller value. Object > Fill and Stroke > Stroke Style > Width
