Oh my word. Thank you so much. You just changed my crafting life for the better.

[@JamelaPayne]

You’re very welcome.

I have watched several tutorials on this and yours is the only one that was simple and easy to understand! thank you!

[@JamelaPayne]

Thank you!

[@barbarafidler910]

thanks, got that to work, didn't think I could. I'm still trying to figure out how to make it the right size for scan and cut sdx85s machaine. I feel I'm getting closer

[@amandaprice7193]

I just want to say thank you for making a video at a pace that I could follow and also, you didn't glorify it to be more than what it was. I can't tell you hiw many videos I have watched about inkscape that made my head spin to the point that I gave up and deleted it. Thank you thank you!!!!

[@JamelaPayne]

So glad to help!

Me too!!! I noticed that some people were leaving out simple steps. Basically they were just getting views a d followers. Acting as if it was too secret. I really appreciate this video.

[@JamelaPayne]

Thank you! It makes me feel good when I get comments like this especially when I get so many unnecessarily rude 1s.

Thank you for moving your cursor over the screen slow enough that we could keep up with what it is you were clicking on! That is my biggest pet peeve with these tutorial videos. The people making them never seem to realize that the people watching have never done this before, we don’t know where to click!!

Hi J, I'm trying to find a way to make pictures of my grandbabies on a file so I can make a shirt for my mom. How do I do this.?

[@JamelaPayne]

I’m not sure what you’re asking

[@Chellybelly_813]

so when this cuts out isn't the layers to thick?

[@DavidElstob73]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks for the heads up on Inkscape! :)

[@yolandaparshall214]

Fantastic, however, how can I make it so it will only cut the image I need. When it convertsit I noticed it cuts like all the image in different colors. I do not need the whole image in each color. Thanks in advance!

[@JamelaPayne]

I don’t think I understand.

[@rayzojams]

does it work with more detailed images? by that, i mean more detailed than hello kitty since it has a very few colors

[@JamelaPayne]

Absolutely. Just a little more work

[@rayzojams]

@@JamelaPayne wanted to ask because i am doing it with a anime picture for a game and i got some weird shapes with the original colors and didn't look like the same as in the video. also, it didn't work, says unsupported image type

[@rayzojams]

@@JamelaPayne is it possible to remove the white background? i don't want to print it and cut it

Jamela by Pink do u know any apps that can do this? any free apps? Thanks

Jamela by Pink how much adobe illustrator? so i can follow ur instructions. thanks

If you go to that video a link to adobe is there. I think it’s $9.99 a month but I’m not positive.

Are you able to download the image onto your computer?

[@AlaynaG2006]

How do you keep the white parts of an image? I've never used inkscape before, and it looks like it has taken the white center out of my image where I need it to be white, it's a flag going on a grey shirt. Tia for any help.

[@JamelaPayne]

I’m not sure. Following the tutorial it should keep it. But I don’t use that program anymore so I can’t remember Andy of the troubleshooting

[@helenls8]

awesome, thank you so much - great video

[@Lotzofgreenz]

You went straight to the point great video. Inkscape file unable to open after several times. I'm using android phone could that be why? Is there an android app I can download or will my Microsoft surface pro be best to download Inkscape? Thanks to anyone whom chime in

@@JamelaPayne I think she is asking how to separate your image to only cut what is needed per color, at least that is what I'm trying to figure out. Thanks for this video by the way!

[@terasgames4758]

For the users of Gran Turismo : In the end , save as Optimised SVG , and in the first section of the options that will come after that, change the value of 5 to 1 and leave the rest as it is. That will save you much, and maybe you`ll be able to get your under 15 KB file for the game. Thanks for the video @by Pink

[@sg3037]

Edgar did you purchase yet? ...just a heads up cricut software is more simplistic and great for beginners designers...if you're goid with design software the silhouettes software offers more.....you can download their software without owning the machine just to get an idea of the learning curve if necessary. if you are good with design software i would think silhouette is probably better for what you want to do....cricut is more for people who are not good with design software.....just my opinion
