Beginners Tutorial for Digitizing Machine Embroidery Designs Using Embird

[@tmo6517]

Great tutorial. I’m definitely going to refer to this when I digitize. I purchased Embird last year when the brand that I used for years folded and left their customers hanging🙄. So back to the drawing board with learning all over again! And thank you for showing the stitched out piece. Most people NEVER do this.🙂

[@SewingWithLisa]

You are great. I enjoy your videos. You do great tutorials. Keep it up.

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Sorry for my English. Thank you so much for this video tutorial! Special thanks for the detailed explanation of some points. Good luck!

[@cherylandrews2001]

Wow, so glad you popped up in my feed!! Great tutorial!

[@warenmann1042]

Excellent video, been trying to find information about digitizing and software like Embird. Thank You...

[@LisaKiefers]

Glad I watched your video because this software isn't user friendly & you just saved me lots of time & money. I'm sticking with SewArt until something better comes along.

[@maramabdulaziz358]

I was searching for this information for a long time and I did not find anyone to help me solve this problem, I am really grateful to you 15:24

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Glad I could help :)

[@Nevicica]

What an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much

[@Spindrift-id1ez]

Well I'm glad I stumbled across this interesting Video,. I have a person that I do custom embroidered patches with and anytime I make a change that's more than minor I always fell bad about it, Especially if it's after I already gave an ok to a digitized image. But now that I see how simpled it is, Point move a line click, Point move a line click. I just ain't quite going to be feeling so guilty anymore ;) You make it look way to easy

[@carenmorse9044]

Thank you! Just what I needed I just purchased Embird two months ago. Would love more!

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Thank you for your comment! It's a really great, easy to use software, I will be posting more videos like this soon :)

[@cheesepuffs8086]

Amazing video! I just got embird so I can’t wait to try some of this out

[@hazelhockey589]

That was a great tutorial do you have any more to help me along with my learning curve, your video made more sense than any other I have seen although you did get a little bit fast in places, but a fantastic video Thanks Hazel Australia

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Hello Hazel, thank you for your comment and feedback I will be making another digitising video soon and will take more care to take my time :)

[@BRETTTOGO]

Jesus. You're gorgeous, and that accent 🙌

[@brookemurray5657]

Fantastic tutorial! Please do more!

[@Utopian-Fish]

Great channel & videos, I knew very little about embroidery until i stumbled across your channel! I didn't realise it was so in-depth and complicated :) I have learnt a lot... can you import vector images from Adobe Illustrator into Embird instead of tracing around a .JPG image ? I design in Illustrator and the few embroidery things i had done by a local workwear company i sent of my files to have them digitised. I would love to be able to do them myself, with more control over the outcome, etc - keep up the good work :)

[@donnablair9980]

How do I decide which embird software to get? I want to be able to turn svg into embroidery file and make color and size adjustments. And also be able to modify already existing embroidery files. Thank you for your help with this

[@BroderieMachine]

Another good video 👍😊🦩🦩🦩

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Love the flamingo emoji 😁😁🦩

[@laynacosta5115]

what software do you use to make the flamingo design before importing it to embird? also i love you videos and they have helped me so much! Fantastic vids😊

[@kcjd8659]

I’d really like to know, too. The only one I know of is Inkscape and I find it confusing to use. :/

[@uzymaandias]

Hi, hope all is well. I’m just getting into the world of digitising my embroidery and wanted to ask if you recommend Embird out of all the other softwares? There’s a lot and I want to make sure I invest my time and money into a software that I can benefit from the most. I would be using it for business purposes. Any information you can give on this topic would be great!! Also, love the channel. Keep it up!! Kind Regards

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Hi there! Thank you for your comment. While Embird is a brilliant software for a beginner on a budget, if you have the funds The software I’d recommend is Wilcom. Wilcom has two versions of its digitising software Hatch (approx $900) and the full version called E4 which last I checked costs about $4k. These are the industry standard digitising software with great preview features and methods that make digitising faster. I like Embird because it’s cheap (about $300) and easy to use but it’s ease of use is actually a downside because it’s hard to swap from Embird to Wilcom as Wilcom is a bit more complicated. So if you can afford it I’d recommend going straight for Wilcom as you’ll avoid learning Embirds bad habits 😅 don’t get me wrong embird is still a great software but it’s font engine is rubbish compared to Wilcoms, I’d you plan on digitising a lot of things with text I’d definitely go for Wilcom

[@pittysmom]

@@pinkbirdembroidery8281 the font engine comment is EXACTLY the kind of information I was looking for! Already invested in Embird and Studio over a 20 year period, but I think it’s time to take the plunge with Hatch. Thanks again! Cheri

[@foodfoodiepeeps]

Which machine do you use for embroidary stitching? Can you please replt

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

I have two different machines, one is Happy Japan 12 needle and the other is Brother PR 6 needle

[@Laurenjoinsyoutube]

I don’t have a machine yet I’m trying to learn all I can before I make that big purchase.

[@Kaily.smith_]

Hey so I clicked the free trial and when I open the app it shows me a outline of a squirrel. How do I get to the part where I make my own designs? And how do I put them in files to keep?

[@elfpimp1]

How do you determine what layers to start and finish?

[@duckyxoxo3]

Do you use the plugins for Embird, or the basic base software?

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Hi, yes I purchased the "studio" plug-in in addition to Embird Basic

[@SocialContraire]

very complicated for a beginner...

[@kcjd8659]

Digitizing is a very complex art and science all on its own. It is not easy to learn and takes a lot of practice and trial and error. It’s really its own industry itself.
