The Art of Digitization // Perfecting Embroidery with Brother PE Design

- Digitizing embroidery is hard! This week, I am working on my embroidery digitization skills by working out the four embroidery patterns required for my Titanic coat, and testing them (and testing them and testing them) to make sure I get everything as close as possible to the original coat.

For me, hand embroidery would go much faster than all this technology!
Best wishes for Dora!
I’m so sorry for Dora. Poor, sweet girl. Sending healing energy her way. Almost the same thing happened to one of my mom’s cats last month. His abscess burst, but he’s ok now. That embroidery machine is fascinating to watch. Very mesmerizing. Take care.
Love watching the machine embroidery, it's fascinating! I actually enjoy having your videos on while I'm sewing, it's like having a sewing buddy and gives me motivation. Also hopefully Dora gets better very soon! I'm sending along so many smooches on her sweet face once she's feeling better
Good luck to Dora!!!
That embroidery machine is crazy!!!
Does your embroidery software have a pull compensation setting? It's pretty normal for satin stitches to have a little bit of shrinkage as they settle into the fabric, so my software has a setting that lets you make them 5-10% wider to compensate.
Oh interesting! I'll have to look into that.
The outline around the stitching having a gap might be due to your stabilizer not being stiff enough to resist the thread pulling the fabric in. You might want to try a different stabilizer or maybe using two layers.
These embroidery machines are fascinating to me.
Prayers for miss Dora; I hope she feels all better soon!
Machine embroidery like this seems like magic to me!
This is coming along fantastic! Sending lots of love and well wishes to Dora
This looks so daunting to me. You are doing an amazing job . I have no desire to imitate you in this because it give me a headache. Just thinking about it - digitizing-!!!
Your comicon weekend is coming up and I hope it’s wonderful and really fun. I think one or two of my kids will be there, so I hope it’s an amazing event for everybody.
The embroidery looks amazing!
I hope Dora is recovering well.
Poor Dora! Sending you good vibes and Dora all the healing vibes!! Oh, and a touch of catnip!! 😺
Wishing Dora speedy healing!
Poor little Dora kitty! Hope she is doing better. Enjoying the embroidery!
Love this.
The embroidery still seems so intimidating.
This is going to be so lovely when it's done.
Best of luck!
Really enjoying watching this project unfold. You are so clever and I love the way you adapt to any challenges that present themselves. Hope Dora is okay.
Really loved seeing this! So interesting to see the process as a hand embroidery person who doesn't have the ability to machine embroider ❤ hope Dora feels better soon ❤give her all the internet hugs
You should add underlay to your embroidery and minimise the amount of tie inns and outs. Push, pull and the lack of underlay causes the bad fit of the outline. If you want to improve your digitising skills then watch a few digitising tutorials on RUclips. Whatever program they use the base principles are all the same and it really helped me to improve. I own a 25 year old brother embroidery machine with software that only runs on an ancient computer, but I still use this machine and the only way you can transfer designs is via a special embroidery card. Last year I got a new Brother embroidery machine and Embird software. A lot of possibilities but it takes time to learn.
I really love your project and attention to detail. It’s going to be amazing
Do you mean a topper? I am using stabilizer already, and debated about a topper, but I didn't have any on hand.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions Underlay is a grid of stitching you create under satin and fill stitches to create a solid base for your final stitches and it helps to get a crisp design that will hold its shape. This is an automatic option in any embroidery software, even my ancient pes software had this option, but maybe you turned this option of. It has got nothing to do with stabilisers.
@@petrasouth1133 ah ok. I was surprised that this didn't have anything besides a small straight stitch underneath, but I figured it was because each of the areas was so narrow. I definitely didn't turn an underlay off, but I'll have to check and see if it's an option to turn on.
Oh my goodness! While scrolling through Etsy for American Girl doll patterns, I discovered there is a pattern for this very coat! I could see you dressing one of your dolls to match your latest outfit!
Honestly, if this hadn't taken so long, I was tempted to make that one too! And it's not out of the question sometime in the future, but I definitely need to give this coat a rest for a while.
Sending hugs for Dora!
I hope Dora's ok, I had a rabbit with an abcess and because rabbits are little abcess-batteries, I had to learn to inject him with antibiotics and it was gross for a long time. But she should heal up much faster!
The embroidery looks pretty dang nifty, and now I guess we all are starting to understand why buying an embroidery pattern for a machine is not so cheap, that's a lot of work!
I love how resourceful you are in using multiple methods and all the tools at your disposal to make these creations!
When I embroider on plush type fabrics, I place a tear away or water soluble stabilizer on top of the piece. That helps eliminate the gap between the satin stitching and the outline. Anyway, your garment is going to be spectacular!
Thanks! I thought about using a topper, but I didn't have any, and until I used the black, it didn't seem like the outline was an issue.
The stitch out looks wonderful. All that is way beyond me but I do enjoy watching others do it!
I would love to see how your brain works! It must be so crowded in there. 😂 Beautiful work. Can't wait to see it all finished. Just the coat is wonderful. Poor Dora. Hope she does well.
not familiar with the embroidery software but general vector programs- the embroidery segments might have gotten 'gouped' together , where the program treats multiple individual shapes as one unit or instance. I'd snoop around and see if there's any settings for that you can undo and then edit. It also may be that the thick wool compresses more in the satin stitch than it does with just a single chain stitch, so the fill stitches end up shrinking more than the outline?
also poor dora! At least that means she held her ground- the cat i had as a kid came home with a similar head wound once and the vet told us it means they went face to face instead of running away.
I figured out how to remove the outline! But you're probably right about the satin stitches compressing the fabric in a bit.
Lighting incense for Dora.
this is beautiful🎉
Nice to see that the results of your machine embroidery are improving. Hopefully, your cat will recover as soon as possible.
I wish you luck with how you figure out the embroidery. I also hope Dora has a good recovery since she is always one of my fav parts in your videos. I wish I could go to ECCC but I have other plans and I chose to do Sakuracon over ECCC since I wanted to work in the trading card room.
I wish I had a good excuse to get an embroidery machine! Your digitising of that pattern is much better than I think mine would be 😂😂
Poor Dora!!! Prayers, Hands/Paws crossed, for a full recovery from me, Maverick, and Starlight. I am assuming Dora is an indoor/outdoor cat, something I will not do. If my cats do get outdoors time, I get them leash trained and take them out myself. Too many wild cards in the open, depending on where you live. Where I am at night we have wild cats, coyotes, and other wildlife that have been known for wandering into and hunting in the city. We also have those types that will speed up their vehicle with the intention of killing an animal crossing the road, because someone let their cat/or dog free range explore. This mostly happens to the cats in my area. It's sad that people can be so cruel.
Yeah, she is indoor/outdoor, because I have a dog door that she learned how to use when she was really young. I wish she would be happy just being inside, but unfortunately she's not.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions They do make RFID, or similar tech, dog doors. It's a small apparatus that attaches to your dogs collar and gets read at a certain range and unlocks the door when they get near it. I don't know how old Dora is, so that may be a challenge, as its best to start when they are young, but you could try to leash train her and take her for supervised outings on a leash. Cat Behaviorist Jackson Galaxy is a strong advocate of leash training, as it gives outdoors time in a supervised way. If your home is yours, you could also look into building a catio outdoors enclosure. Its something to at least look into. My Siamese(Isis, 16, crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020) was leash trained, she loved going on walks outside and around the yard. I haven't leash trained Starlight(4) or Maverick(13) because of mobility issues since those days.
Would be nice if the end of the swirls did not end so bluntly. Perhaps treat like calligraphy and end in a stylised point? Sorry to hear about Dora. I hope she gets better.
Unfortunately with this software, I don't think there's a way for the satin stitches to always be perpendicular across the spirals, and have the ends end in a point.
I hope Dora will be ok. I'm not the best at digitalizing embroidery too and my singer program is just as old. But there's a couple things that come to mind to the problem. The embroidery may be to dense. And it pulls the fabric just so much making the outline off set. I can understand that you want t dense enough to not have the wool show. Maybe try first put a program a single stitch line that runs the length of the scrolls and leaves kinda like a anchor the fabric it provent it from shifting. If that doesn't work then try lessen the dense of the stitches. I hope that helps
Fantastic work.
Hopefully next year ECCC and Sew Expo can maybe not be on the same weekend
Poor Dora!!!
Oh no, poor Dorita! My kitty had a piece of gauze or something to drain his infection after having teeth removed.
Poor Dora :(
Can you do “no sew” for the outlines?
I figured out how to remove them. :)
I thought the spidery motiff on the shoulder was the same as the spidery motiff on the cuff.
I wish!
Excuse me I can't help myself 😿😭.🐈🐱Sending love 😻and healing for Dora🫶.
What nail polish is that?
It's a couple different Sally Hansen polishes.
