MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: The service I was using to host the API (the behind-the-scenes embroidery algorithm) is shutting down and will no longer work. Many of you have been experiencing errors that may be linked to that or, if you were using the second method, there are various versions of InkStitch that are experiencing issues at this time. As a solution, I am offering to digitize your designs for you. I've created a page on Fiverr, a popular freelancing service, and made the price as low as Fiverr would let me put it at: www.fiverr.com/s2/dc317885c4 My delivery time is estimated at 1 day, and with all the other benefits (all the information I send along with the file) this is honestly one of the best embroidery deals on the Fiverr platform. I'll be posting a KZbin community post with more details, but I'd really appreciate it if you could check out the page and consider using my services. You'd get the same quality you're seeing from the videos plus more. Thank you for watching! Link: www.fiverr.com/s2/dc317885c4

[@phokusonmi6375]

thanks bud. thats very nice of you. how can I send you the SVG file?

[@doreenshackelford7552]

Do you think you can deliver an order by 5/7/23 I’d like to order a pes file. I have it as a jpg. I was trying to follow your 2 videos today and I was having trouble trying to save it as a pes. Then I read that there was a problem and now you're digitizing for those that need your help. I would like the final image to NOT have a background because I put it on different color shirts. The imagine I'm sending you have a BLACK background because the picture was taking from one of my black shirts. A clear background please. Also if you could NOT put "BRANDYWINE" ON THE FINAL IMAGE. I will be doing it for different chapters and will put the names on them as they're requested. I'm also asking if you NOT advertise this particular design. One last request, would you be willing to ZOOM tutor me on how to do what I'm asking you to do for me. I use to do it but after having my last 2 strokes I don't really remember how I use to digitize. Thx, Doreen

[@doreenshackelford7552]

Sorry for the long text msg. I tried placing this request/order on your page but it wouldn't send.

Hands down the best tutorial by far. I've been trying for weeks and FINALLY got it, so thank you!!!!

[@copyartwork1658]

Love the easy to understand video. People can sometimes be caught up on the "file type" they need for their machines. It is best to check the user manual for your embroidery machine to make sure you are getting the correct file.

[@JSguitarvids1]

Your video is amazing!!! My daughter got an embroidery machine for Christmas and you have helped us so much to get her own designs into her machine, thank you👍

Bro you're so dope! making tutorials and whole websites SHEEESSH you a real one

Oh wow I just realized that I came from the original video 10 mins ago and the updated version was TODAY HAHA Great Work!

[@annettemiroojeda5068]

I am so grateful for this. All the embroidery softwares cost and arm and a leg. This is so great, thank you so much!!!! If you do a kickstarter for developing and embroidery community I think a lot of people would be thrilled to donate.

[@debbiemeagher4846]

Thank you for this AWESOME video and all the work you do to elevate the knowledge and skill levels of novice embroidery addicts. I was able to complete a project to meet a deadline after my software crashed because I found your video and used your technique and software for digitizing my logos. I subscribed to your channel and please keep your valuable content and insight coming. Amazing, incredible, fabulous, and excellent.

[@kikiv1775]

I've had my embroidery machine for literal years. And I've been too scared to use it because I never found a good tutorial. You my friend, have shown me a free AND EASY way to digitize my designs and I can not thank you enough. We also have the same machine so it was a plus seeing you use it. Thanks for being the best.

[@craftdazzler1016]

Thank you so much! I finally found a tutorial where I can actually follow along and have my own designs now!! You did a great job explaining. A little fast in some places but pausing the video helped and just took a little longer for me to get through it but still so happy!

[@sweet_cafe1600]

Wow, just wow. Followed step by step and it just works. I've worked with Photoshop extensively, Illustrator can be intimidating lol. Converting files into SMV files is a game changer. Converting again to PES files is icing on the cake. Just got a Brother SE600 and amazingly excited to be able to embroider my own designs. You're amazing and brilliant-- many thanks for sharing!!!

[@missyrudolph4531]

Thank you for the work you have done to present a program/app for hobbyist/home sewers to use for digitizing. I found your tutorial to very helpful. I needed to use it side by side when doing the first file and the speed with which you clicked through the information was lightening speed. I ended up slowing it down to 50% speed making you sound like a drunkard. My family was laughing pretty hard. Perhaps you could do another update and slow down the process. Most of this comes natural for you and you know what, why, and where you are clicking. This is not for us. However, it was very useful and easy once I could follow your clicking. I have digitized files in the past using draw, an expensive digitizing program, and finally exporting it into a stitching program to export to the machine. This was significantly easier and I thank you very much for taking the time to show us how to do it.

Hi! your video was so good you just saved a fortune and a ton of time for me. just one question. are stitching styles and needle points optimized? I mean can I count on it also for high quantity production? if not how can I change it to the optimized condition? if it helps I have a Tajima embroidery machine and Embroidery studio 4.2. I used the auto process in my software but it was way far from optimized and I didn't know how to fix it.

Hi, thanks a lot for your video and website, very helpful ! Can you please tell me if with Inkspace and your website, we can eliminate the jump stitches or not ? And also, can you group the colors so you don't have to change the bobbin for every single letter ? Can you also change the density of the letters, the stitches direction inside of the letters and if you want them in satin or step for example ? Thanks a lot again !
