Ive been looking for a video this good for a while, I finally can make my custom embroidery thanks to yall! It is so hard to find good tutorials on this. Keep up the fantastic work!
I'm very excited that you are showing inkscape and ink stitch. My problem is, you make it look so easy, but I'm new to both and I have trouble following all your steps.......I watch over and over, but some of your steps you go so quickly..........
You guys are great at explaining the creation, conversion, and digitizing process, step-by-step, that's required to embroider an image/logo. It's amazing that folk will charge upwards of $30-$40 to do this. I wish you and your daughter success. More vids please.
I am getting started with embroidery and found your channel. It's been so helpful, but most importantly, it has been a delight to watch you guys doing it together! One day I wish to have a daughter and be able to do fun stuff with her like you two! Sending you guys good energy :)
I found y'all's channel because of Inkscape/Inkstitch and the trouble I was having trying to figure things out from the official tutorials. I haven't watched all of your tutorials yet but just this one and the one about Bitmap Tracing have helped me to create my first embroidery design and I'm looking forward to making more of them. So thank you very much for the tutorials.
When uploading an image to Inkscape try edit trace bitmap>update>apply it should automatically trace nodes around your image so you don’t have to do it manually
I had to have a tech assistant download ink space for me. I have some corrupt files somewhere on my computer, that’s why I called them and it wasn’t because of Inkscape but I forgot about the corrupt files 😆 I’m trying to make it work. I’ve watch this video 2 times. I think I’m getting it. Maybe I’ll have something like a bunny in 2 weeks. You guys are an awesomely helpful clear and really cute duo helping me. Thank you.
It's refreshing to see a Dad and Daughter project, let's learn together. It's a great idea and very refreshing. in regards to the training, clear and concise. I was looking for embroidery files for a friend of mine as to how to make one, or export one that they could use when I came across this one. it answered all my questions. I'm not an Inkscape user (more Vcarve and Lightburn) for my cnc router and laser. you have to limit your software expertise so you can use one or two very well, and just export what is needed for your machine. lastly, I actually took an .svg file from my Vcarve software, and imported it to Inkscape, no work done to it, went straight to InkStich and made an .pes file. perfect. Thank you. have fun, embrace, as they are not young for long.
Thanks for this! I spent ages yesterday trying to get started by watching all the official tutorials and getting confused, and you guys explain what I need to do in like 4 minutes
Hi, I'm a Korean who just bought a brother se1900 and realised the programme pe-design 11 doesn't work on mac haha, but I found these helpful tutorial videos. Thank you so much :)
Aaaa!!! this makes me so happy!!! I've been searching for a nice program to make custom embroidery patterns for making plushies and for the longest time I've only seen programs that cost an arm and a leg.. Thank you so much!! Three years of wanting to make a plush can finally come to fruition :,)
These Inkscape videos have been a lifesaver! I am curious though, where are you getting your designs to start? Is there something that I can download from Inkstitch's website or are you getting them through another website? Thank you so much for the help now and in the future!
We typically create our own designs in Inkscape or draw them using Procreate, then import them. Sometimes we will also utilize copyright free images/clipart. Thanks for watching!
The export process is completely different now, check out our latest video on the most recent release of Ink/Stitch:ruclips.net/video/iqLGE7gDG_A/видео.html and here is a link to all Ink/Stitch tutorials: ruclips.net/video/mPaGwjwpzWc/видео.html
Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I had all but given up trying to learn Ink Stitch but y'all helped me finally embroider one of my designs! Not to sound dramatic but this really is life changing for me -- from the bottom of my heart, thank you and please continue doing what y'all are doing it's honestly helping people like myself
Really helpful! One question though: with the software updates over the years, it seems the way of exporting has changed because there is no "embroider" option under ink/stitch under extensions, what is the new method?
Yes, there have been several updates since this video was posted. Here is the most recent update: ruclips.net/video/iqLGE7gDG_A/видео.html Here is our playlist that will include past updates and tips as well: ruclips.net/video/mPaGwjwpzWc/видео.html
Thank you for this I just wanted to see if it’s possible without the thousand dollars worth of software that seems to never be enough I will definitely be trying this route
We are so happy you found our channel. Using Inkscape and Ink/stitch does have a learning curve but being able to use free open source software is awesome! We have lots of videos to help you on our journey in our playlist on the program: ruclips.net/p/PLtQ8IvTMaEGI3NeU2MppOkukHviNKmrJl Thanks so much for watching!
So sweet I watched this video and it gave me a great interest to follow you both, and see in 10 or 15 years where your daughter has landed up, I imagine something in the graphic industry, it is great to see you both get along and the young girl is saving all the experience you are giving. Keep going guys good work
Thank you so much for this video! When I first opened Inkscape, I was more than intimidated... Now I feel like I at least know the basics to get myself going with my new embroidery machine. I'll have to follow more of your videos to see what else y'all are up to!
This tutorial is great! For the base layer, I've followed it and gotten a perfect base! But, when it comes to the outline/eye portion in black, I keep breaking needles and dislodging my fabric, and end up with bunched clumps of thread under the fabric. Is the base too thick? Do you have any tips?
There are a number of reasons things that can cause issues in embroidery. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you troubleshoot, fabric thickness, needle type, how many layers you are you trying to embroider versus what your machine can handle, etc. Our machine struggles after 3 layers of stitches. You could try excluding the fill layer under the eyeball, check out this video where we show how to do that: ruclips.net/video/OU22JGOFFsY/видео.html This video will cover updates, and you may want to change your outline stitch by Converting Line to Satin included in this updated video: ruclips.net/video/iqLGE7gDG_A/видео.html You could also check out stitch density issues by going to: Run Extensions > Ink/Stitch > Visualize and Export > Density Map (You can find the info on the Ink/Stitch Website about the density map: inkstitch.org/docs/visualize/) Make sure you check out some of our most recent videos on Ink/Stitch in our playlist since there have been several updates and tips making the process easier! ruclips.net/video/mPaGwjwpzWc/видео.html
Thanks for watching! There is an update in Ink/Stitch since this video, which makes it easier to install the software (We have an updated tutorial: ruclips.net/video/CkqyaNlMq_A/видео.html).
Hi! To see the meters of thread, you can go to Extensions-Ink/Stitch-Visualize and Export-PDF Export. We have a video coming in the next few weeks if you need any more information 😊 Thanks for watching!
I love this tutorial! it was very helpful. I'm having trouble with deleting the border for the fill section. The video is too fast and I don't know what I'm doing wrong :(
You can slow down the video by clicking on the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the video. I frequently do that for parts of video when I need to understand what’s being demonstrated.
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo Hi, could you tell me where the red X' is as I don't see one in your video or on my inkscape. I really can't follow the part as it's way too fast and I'm a bit lost. Could you possibly give the instructions in a bit more detail for that part please? I was getting on great until I reached that bit. Thanks
Hi, we only use Mac computers in our videos, but I think everything is relatively similar in Inkscape even if you use a different operating system. Thanks for watching!
Great Video! Wow! I just did it on a simple design and it worked great! May I ask, I have an unwanted line running outside the design, is there any tips or tricks on how not to have this line visible and just have the design alone in full? Thanks again
Thanks for watching! To get rid of the unwanted line (stroke), you can select the objects with it, hold shift, and click the red X on the far left of the color palette. Hope this helps!
Check out Part 2 of our Inkscape & Ink/stitch tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/9WPSHcJ03gI/видео.html and watch our video that covers download and install of the latest ink/stitch software update here: ruclips.net/video/XhdulUDXqQo/видео.html
I've enjoyed your videos and learned a lot, but I haven't seen you do one on free standing lace. Are you planning on any tutorials on this subject? thanks.
Thanks for watching! You can organize by color and objects by stacking objects in the order you want them to stitch out (inkstitch>edit>restacking…) you can also program jump stitch cutting within your design, but that feature doesn’t seem to work with our machine (brother SE1900), those settings also found in the ink stitch >edit. Hope this helps!
You guys are so cute! I am thrilled that inkscape has such an extension! Things seam easy when you explain. They must be. I've been working out my Inkscape muscles for the Cricut and I think I am ready. I hope this extention works for Pfaff. My new machine is on it's way, hooray!
Great info! Helped me understand this program, will def watch other videos ! I have a question tho, where the corners meet, there some gaps how can one avoid this ? Or does it not show up once you stitch out the design
Great question, we’ve learned since posting this video, that if you round your corners, it will stitch a much more consistent satin edge. Hope this helps!
thanks for your help, your time, your efforts and your work building the channel, please in next videos speak slower, cause some of us can't understand so faster, cause our first language is'nt English. Thank you twize for your strength and your work studying and helping us.
This video was so helpful. The verbal details and illustrations were well understood and easy to follow. The both if you are a great team. Thank again!
This video should be longer you’re very vague I followed step by step and got lost in between its great it got me all the way up to the layers but couldn’t figure out the lines part too fast for anyone actually trying to do this
Love the video! You guys are too cute and helpful. I need help! I got everything downloaded but I still am getting this error code: There are no objects in the entire document that Ink/Stitch knows how to work with. Tip: Run Extensions > Ink/Stitch > Troubleshoot > Troubleshoot Objects, do you know what to do?
Hello, thanks for watching! It looks like one or more of your objects you’re trying to embroider it’s not a recognized “path” ink stitch can follow. Try selecting all of your project and go to “Path”>”Object to path.” If this doesn’t work, follow the troubleshoot link your error above brings you, this will usually tell you exactly what is wrong with one or more of your objects. Hope this helps!
Thanks for watching! Ink/Stitch has released a new update for 2022 (v2.1.2) as well as Inkscape (v1.2). We don’t have a new tutorial for these updates yet though.
Your videos are awesome! I've searched everyone's comments and questions and can't seem to see anyone with my issue. I purchased a PES and now own a Janome so need it in JEF. Hoping I can do it here. But when I first open the PES file, I get all the little scissor images. How do I eliminate them. I tried the "shift, click the little X to the left of the color palette at the bottom but my design disappears leaving just the scissors; which would be great if I could erase and step back but that won't work as you know 🤦♀. What to do . .
Thanks for watching! Once you have imported your .pes (file>import), to get rid of the scissors you can ungroup your design from them, you can do this by going to Object>Ungroup when you have your design selected. Additionally, to save your design select File>Save As, and select JEF.
Such an AMAZING video!! just one thing... I cant seem to select Params, its just grey? any suggestions? I've selected the design and I'm on the correct layer
By the sound of it, our guess would be Inkstitch is not properly installed on your computer. If you’re running a Mac with Catalina or Big Sur, be sure to run the commands in terminal that are listed out on the Inkstitch website. Hope this helps!
Great job, I really like how you make it simple and interesting to learn inkstitch. Very simple video but great content I’m actually going to follow this and try it myself. Cheers I will watch part 2 shortly
This is an incredible tutorial, thank you!! Have just had a play around on Ink Stitch and really had no clue! Until your video! I want to use my image of a font, for a clothing label. I'm hoping PES file will work well on a Semco Ipink embroidery machine. Thank you!
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo thank you for replying! I hate to ask, I'm having trouble tracing, I've traced out my logo with the nodes, but when I hide the Import pic, there is no tracing? I've gone into prefences and changed node preferences to show outline but nothing is showing, what am I doing wrong? Many thanks!
Your videos are so helpful! I am just trying to do my first design. It is only two colors...black and white. All the areas stitched out fine except for the very largest area. It did the underlay, but not the final top stitching. I used autofill, so nothing different for each layer. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Hmm, that’s a strange one… when you select just that problem object (vs the whole design) in params, is there any difference? Are the params settings different?
Thank you for the video. New to embroidery and would love to learn how to digitalization of a pic. I am having a hard time though don’t know if I did something wrong. I downloaded the latest version of both Inkscape / ink stitch but when I use the paeans button it doesn’t work not even an error message pops up. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the video idea, we will add this to our list of future videos. In the meantime we briefly talk about how we get our design on a shirt in this video if you haven't checked it out yet: ruclips.net/video/ruuUBJJ_Jd4/видео.html.
Thank you so much for this helpful video! One question, What format does my image need to be in in order to export to inkscape? I keep trying and it is giving me an error message.
I’m glad our videos could help you! We’ve been able to import .png’s and .jpg’s, but you can find other formats that you can import and export on the Ink/Stitch website: inkstitch.org/docs/file-formats/. Hope this helps!
hi, thanks for your video, very informative and helpful ! do you know by any chance if the followings functions are available in inkspace (they come from the bernina software) : globe effect, 3D effect, fluffy letters effect, distortion effect (seen on the bernina B880), trapunto effect, color wheel/shuffling, being able to remove any jump stitch, being able to group the colors so you don't have to change the bobbins as much, being able to choose the direction and form of the stitches inside a design and so on ? Thanks a lot !
Hello there, thanks for watching! Of the effects you mentioned, there are only a few that Inkstitch has natively (ability to program cutting jump stitches (though this doesn't work with our machine, Brother SE1900), grouping of colors, and direction of stitch). Grouping of colors is actually more of a manual process of organizing your design, but it does the trick... direction of stitch is adjustable by degree of stitch angle in params. This is very rudimentary embroidery software, and does not have all the effects that you could find in paid embroidery software. Hope this helps!
great video, just one quick question. when i go to preview the design look sfine but the black border for the rabbit seems skiiny how can i do the satin sticth like you
Hi! If you want to make the border around the bunny bigger, you can click the “Object” menu at the top of the Inkscape window, then select “Fill and Stroke”. A new tab should appear at the right where you can select “Stroke Style”, from there you can increase the width. Hope this helps!
Using the bezier tool, when I got back around to my first node, it turned my whole design black (solid) without negative space in the design. When you got back around to your first node, it just highlighted the object. What am I doing wrong?
Hi! You may have a fill color selected instead of a stroke on your design. In order to fix this, you can click the X on the left of the color palette and hold shift and press a color to have an outline. Thanks for watching, hope this helps!
Hey guys!! Appreciate all the hep from your channel! I have 1 random question.. I have an already digitized file I opened in inkstitch and wanted to make it a bit bigger for a hat so increased it from 4 inches to 4.75 inches. Well it keeps the same stitch out, correct? so the density needs increased quite a bit right. So I open params and its a running stitch so I want to change the zig zag stitch from .4 to maybe .3 or .2 to increase the density? Does that make sense or sound correct? If so, when I do that the stitch out/density doesn't change at all. Am I doing it all wrong? or need to change something? I cannot figure it out at all. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give. Thanks again guys!!
Thanks for watching! No, if you increase the size of the .svg file and reexport as a .pes, the stitch density should readjust itself to give your same param settings. Hope this helps!
Hello there! I enjoy your informative and fun videos. I utilize a mac and recently downloaded inkstitch's latest version. It's missing a good deal of the sub options you speak about. For example the embroidery params only give 3 auto options. This eliminates the option to bean the stitch etc. I am wondering if it's possible that my antivirus system prevented a full download. I used the forums to inquire, but haven't heard back. Do you guys know of a way around? Or do you know a source to upload the folders like you did on your video? They don't appear on the site anymore. Thanks a million!
Hello there! Do you know what version of Inkscape & inkstitch you're running? Our install in this video is of an older version. Given how you describe it, it doesn't sound like your anti-virus prevented a full install, as typically if it did, you wouldn't be able to run params at all.
Helpful! One question, is the traced outline always necessary for the design? If you wanted just the bunny without the black lines around it would that be possible?
The tracing (black lines) does not need to be included in your embroidery. It is however necessary to define your full shape. Once you are complete with your tracing, and filled it with color, you can select the object and hit “shift” and the “X” in the far left of your color palette. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video but I have one problem. I tried it like 100 times. Everything is working until I try to "delete" the first satin stitch line. It only erases the colours but not the satin stitch. I am grateful about any help.
Thank you for this comment! We didn’t discuss this in our video, but when we created our fill layer, we had to remove the stroke by hitting “shift” then selected the “X” in the far left of the color field. The satin stitch is a function of the stroke, changing the color of the stroke line in your design will not remove the satin stitch it will produce. Really hope this helps!
hello, I've learned a lot from this video alone I just have a problem I'm not sure if you guys experience this before. I did everything correctly as the video stated but every time I connect my flash drive to my brother se600 it resets itself. I'm not sure if its the the final file with the stitch marks or the usb.
We can’t be sure what your exact issue is, but have you tried a different usb drive? Also, we would recommend to use a usb drive with less storage (we use a 64 MB). Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Hi! To see the meters of thread, you can go to Extensions-Ink/Stitch-Visualize and Export-PDF Export. We have a video coming in the next few weeks if you need any more information 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo спасибо большое!!💕 thanks a lot 😊
Seems like one of those things with a learning curve. Been there with vinyl cutting. Thanks for making it look easy, time to get cracking at it...
Many thanks for this video (part 1)
Of course, thanks for watching!
brilliant tutorial guys. Couldn't have asked for more!!!
Thank you! Glad you liked the video!
do you have a windows version of your tutorials?
I love this tutorial! it was very helpful. I'm having trouble with deleting the border for the fill section. The video is too fast and I don't know what I'm doing wrong :(
Press and hold the shift button while selecting the red “X” to delete the stroke. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
You can slow down the video by clicking on the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the video. I frequently do that for parts of video when I need to understand what’s being demonstrated.
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo Hi, could you tell me where the red X' is as I don't see one in your video or on my inkscape. I really can't follow the part as it's way too fast and I'm a bit lost. Could you possibly give the instructions in a bit more detail for that part please? I was getting on great until I reached that bit. Thanks
Hello there, the red X is in the bottom left corner (in your color palette), hope this helps!
Amazing! Thank you so much for all the help from A to Z, you two are great!
Hello grate video thanks for sharing but do you have any videos for windows I don’t have a Mac
Hi, we only use Mac computers in our videos, but I think everything is relatively similar in Inkscape even if you use a different operating system. Thanks for watching!
Great Video! Wow! I just did it on a simple design and it worked great! May I ask, I have an unwanted line running outside the design, is there any tips or tricks on how not to have this line visible and just have the design alone in full? Thanks again
Thanks for watching! To get rid of the unwanted line (stroke), you can select the objects with it, hold shift, and click the red X on the far left of the color palette. Hope this helps!
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo thank you so much for your prompt reply!
Check out Part 2 of our Inkscape & Ink/stitch tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/9WPSHcJ03gI/видео.html and watch our video that covers download and install of the latest ink/stitch software update here: ruclips.net/video/XhdulUDXqQo/видео.html
I tried it but unfortunately when I when opened ink stitch under extensions, the tools like params etc where not able to open 😪
I've enjoyed your videos and learned a lot, but I haven't seen you do one on free standing lace. Are you planning on any tutorials on this subject? thanks.
We haven’t done any videos on this topic yet, but I added it to our video idea list so we can research it. Thanks for watching!
thnx so much for this vid. not sure if you'll see this but is there anyway to plan the stitch path to save thread from jumping all over the workspace?
Thanks for watching! You can organize by color and objects by stacking objects in the order you want them to stitch out (inkstitch>edit>restacking…) you can also program jump stitch cutting within your design, but that feature doesn’t seem to work with our machine (brother SE1900), those settings also found in the ink stitch >edit. Hope this helps!
Thank you very much. Your tutorial is excellent.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video ! Thank you for sharing it, just one problem, I’m not able to see the tool on the right side how do I add it ?
Which tool were you looking for? In this video we used “layers” and “fill and stroke” (both you can find in the top menu) hope this helps!
You guys are so cute! I am thrilled that inkscape has such an extension! Things seam easy when you explain. They must be. I've been working out my Inkscape muscles for the Cricut and I think I am ready. I hope this extention works for Pfaff. My new machine is on it's way, hooray!
We're excited for you!
Great info! Helped me understand this program, will def watch other videos ! I have a question tho, where the corners meet, there some gaps how can one avoid this ? Or does it not show up once you stitch out the design
Great question, we’ve learned since posting this video, that if you round your corners, it will stitch a much more consistent satin edge. Hope this helps!
Thank you guys this helped me alot
Of course! I’m happy it could help!
thanks for your help, your time, your efforts and your work building the channel, please in next videos speak slower, cause some of us can't understand so faster, cause our first language is'nt English.
Thank you twize for your strength and your work studying and helping us.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’ll try our best to improve in future videos 😁
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo :)
This video was so helpful. The verbal details and illustrations were well understood and easy to follow. The both if you are a great team. Thank again!
Very helpful. thank you!
We're happy you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching 😊
Great information, but I have trouble finding your mouse. Can you enlarge it or change it to RED color or something? That would be helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for the tip!
I love you guys. Thanks for your videos
i am having a LOT of issues with border crossing. could you please make a tutorial?? I'm sorry!!!
We have another tutorial in the works that will cover this issue a little more. Thanks for watching!
This video should be longer you’re very vague I followed step by step and got lost in between its great it got me all the way up to the layers but couldn’t figure out the lines part too fast for anyone actually trying to do this
Thank you guys so much this is going to help big time, imt thinking of getting the Brother se600. Wish me luck!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love the video! You guys are too cute and helpful.
I need help! I got everything downloaded but I still am getting this error code:
There are no objects in the entire document that Ink/Stitch knows how to work with.
Tip: Run Extensions > Ink/Stitch > Troubleshoot > Troubleshoot Objects,
do you know what to do?
Hello, thanks for watching! It looks like one or more of your objects you’re trying to embroider it’s not a recognized “path” ink stitch can follow. Try selecting all of your project and go to “Path”>”Object to path.” If this doesn’t work, follow the troubleshoot link your error above brings you, this will usually tell you exactly what is wrong with one or more of your objects. Hope this helps!
Great video! Is there a 2022 updated version?
Thanks for watching! Ink/Stitch has released a new update for 2022 (v2.1.2) as well as Inkscape (v1.2). We don’t have a new tutorial for these updates yet though.
Your videos are awesome! I've searched everyone's comments and questions and can't seem to see anyone with my issue. I purchased a PES and now own a Janome so need it in JEF. Hoping I can do it here. But when I first open the PES file, I get all the little scissor images. How do I eliminate them. I tried the "shift, click the little X to the left of the color palette at the bottom but my design disappears leaving just the scissors; which would be great if I could erase and step back but that won't work as you know 🤦♀. What to do . .
Thanks for watching! Once you have imported your .pes (file>import), to get rid of the scissors you can ungroup your design from them, you can do this by going to Object>Ungroup when you have your design selected. Additionally, to save your design select File>Save As, and select JEF.
Such an AMAZING video!! just one thing... I cant seem to select Params, its just grey? any suggestions? I've selected the design and I'm on the correct layer
By the sound of it, our guess would be Inkstitch is not properly installed on your computer. If you’re running a Mac with Catalina or Big Sur, be sure to run the commands in terminal that are listed out on the Inkstitch website. Hope this helps!
Thank you the most accurate video I have found thank you guys sooo much
Thank you so much!
Great job, I really like how you make it simple and interesting to learn inkstitch. Very simple video but great content I’m actually going to follow this and try it myself. Cheers I will watch part 2 shortly
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much this was super helpful!
Glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching!
This is an incredible tutorial, thank you!! Have just had a play around on Ink Stitch and really had no clue! Until your video! I want to use my image of a font, for a clothing label. I'm hoping PES file will work well on a Semco Ipink embroidery machine. Thank you!
Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching! Good luck with embroidering!
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo thank you for replying! I hate to ask, I'm having trouble tracing, I've traced out my logo with the nodes, but when I hide the Import pic, there is no tracing? I've gone into prefences and changed node preferences to show outline but nothing is showing, what am I doing wrong? Many thanks!
Sorry for the delayed reply. Try highlighting it and selecting a color to see if it appears.
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo no worries at all, have watched a few more vids and that does look to be the issue, thank you!
@@Arecipetoshare hi. Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but can I downloaded inkdcape in apple tablet or do I need to buy a laptop? Thank you
Mic videos but are these for newbies because they are quite fast. Can you slow down a little and do for windows
good stuff, subbed.
Much appreciated!
tysm!! but i need to know, how do u delete the satin stitch lines on the fill layer? it always deletes the fill with the lines whenever i try to
If you hold “shift” while selecting the “X” in the color pane, it will delete your satin (stroke) border. Hope this helps!
Great video but quick question if my image has a background how do i delete that ?
We'd need a little more information to help answer that, but it is possible to customize to get he results you want.
Your videos are so helpful! I am just trying to do my first design. It is only two colors...black and white. All the areas stitched out fine except for the very largest area. It did the underlay, but not the final top stitching. I used autofill, so nothing different for each layer. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Hmm, that’s a strange one… when you select just that problem object (vs the whole design) in params, is there any difference? Are the params settings different?
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo I finally figured it out! I used the break apart command and then it worked. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you for the video. New to embroidery and would love to learn how to digitalization of a pic. I am having a hard time though don’t know if I did something wrong. I downloaded the latest version of both Inkscape / ink stitch but when I use the paeans button it doesn’t work not even an error message pops up. What am I doing wrong?
You can try deleting and reinstalling it, but unfortunately we’re really not sure. Thanks for watching!
This helped alot!! I was stressing lol
Thanks for watching!
Hey wondering if u can do a video on how did yall get ur logo perfect on the left side of the shirt im having a hard time 😢😅
Thanks for the video idea, we will add this to our list of future videos. In the meantime we briefly talk about how we get our design on a shirt in this video if you haven't checked it out yet: ruclips.net/video/ruuUBJJ_Jd4/видео.html.
Thank you so much for this helpful video! One question, What format does my image need to be in in order to export to inkscape? I keep trying and it is giving me an error message.
I’m glad our videos could help you! We’ve been able to import .png’s and .jpg’s, but you can find other formats that you can import and export on the Ink/Stitch website: inkstitch.org/docs/file-formats/. Hope this helps!
Thank you from Norway🥰
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
🔥 fire video
wow... I loved this video!!!! many thanks ...
Thanks for commenting! We’re happy you liked the video!
WOW... Very good video! Well done. Is there a magic wand tool for Ink Stitch?
Unfortunately no, there is no Magic Wand tool in Inkscape, due to how the objects are stored (vector graphics vs raster graphics)
great video ive been researching how to do this for a long time and you got right to the point
Thanks for watching!
Thanks this helped a bunch!
Happy it helped! Thanks for watching!
Helpful *and* adorable. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
hi, thanks for your video, very informative and helpful ! do you know by any chance if the followings functions are available in inkspace (they come from the bernina software) : globe effect, 3D effect, fluffy letters effect, distortion effect (seen on the bernina B880), trapunto effect, color wheel/shuffling, being able to remove any jump stitch, being able to group the colors so you don't have to change the bobbins as much, being able to choose the direction and form of the stitches inside a design and so on ? Thanks a lot !
Hello there, thanks for watching! Of the effects you mentioned, there are only a few that Inkstitch has natively (ability to program cutting jump stitches (though this doesn't work with our machine, Brother SE1900), grouping of colors, and direction of stitch). Grouping of colors is actually more of a manual process of organizing your design, but it does the trick... direction of stitch is adjustable by degree of stitch angle in params. This is very rudimentary embroidery software, and does not have all the effects that you could find in paid embroidery software. Hope this helps!
great video, just one quick question. when i go to preview the design look sfine but the black border for the rabbit seems skiiny how can i do the satin sticth like you
Hi! If you want to make the border around the bunny bigger, you can click the “Object” menu at the top of the Inkscape window, then select “Fill and Stroke”. A new tab should appear at the right where you can select “Stroke Style”, from there you can increase the width. Hope this helps!
Great video! Really helped me as a beginner!
So happy this tutorial could help you! Thanks for watching!
Using the bezier tool, when I got back around to my first node, it turned my whole design black (solid) without negative space in the design. When you got back around to your first node, it just highlighted the object. What am I doing wrong?
Hi! You may have a fill color selected instead of a stroke on your design. In order to fix this, you can click the X on the left of the color palette and hold shift and press a color to have an outline. Thanks for watching, hope this helps!
Hey guys!! Appreciate all the hep from your channel! I have 1 random question.. I have an already digitized file I opened in inkstitch and wanted to make it a bit bigger for a hat so increased it from 4 inches to 4.75 inches. Well it keeps the same stitch out, correct? so the density needs increased quite a bit right. So I open params and its a running stitch so I want to change the zig zag stitch from .4 to maybe .3 or .2 to increase the density? Does that make sense or sound correct? If so, when I do that the stitch out/density doesn't change at all. Am I doing it all wrong? or need to change something? I cannot figure it out at all. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give. Thanks again guys!!
Thanks for watching! No, if you increase the size of the .svg file and reexport as a .pes, the stitch density should readjust itself to give your same param settings. Hope this helps!
Merci, vous êtes les meilleurs !
Hello there! I enjoy your informative and fun videos. I utilize a mac and recently downloaded inkstitch's latest version. It's missing a good deal of the sub options you speak about. For example the embroidery params only give 3 auto options. This eliminates the option to bean the stitch etc. I am wondering if it's possible that my antivirus system prevented a full download. I used the forums to inquire, but haven't heard back. Do you guys know of a way around? Or do you know a source to upload the folders like you did on your video? They don't appear on the site anymore. Thanks a million!
Hello there! Do you know what version of Inkscape & inkstitch you're running? Our install in this video is of an older version. Given how you describe it, it doesn't sound like your anti-virus prevented a full install, as typically if it did, you wouldn't be able to run params at all.
Thanks for this tutorial
Thanks for watching!
Helpful! One question, is the traced outline always necessary for the design? If you wanted just the bunny without the black lines around it would that be possible?
The tracing (black lines) does not need to be included in your embroidery. It is however necessary to define your full shape. Once you are complete with your tracing, and filled it with color, you can select the object and hit “shift” and the “X” in the far left of your color palette. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video but I have one problem. I tried it like 100 times. Everything is working until I try to "delete" the first satin stitch line. It only erases the colours but not the satin stitch. I am grateful about any help.
Thank you for this comment! We didn’t discuss this in our video, but when we created our fill layer, we had to remove the stroke by hitting “shift” then selected the “X” in the far left of the color field. The satin stitch is a function of the stroke, changing the color of the stroke line in your design will not remove the satin stitch it will produce. Really hope this helps!
@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo thanks for commenting this, I was stuck too on this issue but was able to figure it out once I saw this comment! Love your vids
hello, I've learned a lot from this video alone I just have a problem I'm not sure if you guys experience this before. I did everything correctly as the video stated but every time I connect my flash drive to my brother se600 it resets itself. I'm not sure if its the the final file with the stitch marks or the usb.
We can’t be sure what your exact issue is, but have you tried a different usb drive? Also, we would recommend to use a usb drive with less storage (we use a 64 MB). Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
Happy we could help! Thank you so much for watching the video 😊
