[@robinfowler3943]

Thank you thank you! I have spent wasted hours doing the exact thing you mentioned by doing them individually!!! If I could I would give you a big hug!! After countless research or videos something to help me I finally found it in your video. Doing exactly what I was looking for and explaining it perfectly how a “normal” person can understand! Thank you again!!!

[@cricutmom2978]

Awww thank you so much! I am so glad I could help You! I too, spent countless hours trying to research, but most videos I watched were wasted minutes of unneeded explaining to where I couldn't grasp what I needed.. so when I learned some thing, I wanted to share in a fast, but paced learning video! I really appreciate the feedback! You don't know how much it means!

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

OMG! That was way easier than what I do!! I love this tutorial!!! Thank you so very much for all the clear instructions!! 💖🌺🌸🏵🌼💐💖

[@nicoletrammell9575]

Thank you so much. I was thinking it was going to be 10x harder than it actually was. I just started using inkscape to make SVGs, PNGs, PDFs, etc. and I absolutely love the program. You just made my life a lot easier. Thank you!

[@lisawhelpley]

Thank you so much. Every time I have to change png to svg, I come back and re-learn from your VERY helpful and concise tutorial. Thanks for posting it!

[@cricutmom2978]

As I said, i didn't know alot about inkscape, so I do these videos as i learn about it myself, I have learned you don't have to work within that square! You can actually remove it if it is annoying to you! You can go to ▪file ▪document properties And uncheck the display box towards the bottom of the pop up!

[@yvonnedubois7178]

Cricut maker will not allow my SVG from inkscape into design space although I do same thing as you do ...

[@entropysarts5856]

Great Tutorial! I’ve been dying to do this, I wish I had known how to do this before, the whole process took 10 minutes from downloading Inkscape to uploading in DS. Thank you!!!

[@thepreecher8755]

impressive tut exactly what I wanted to know...to the point and very understandable...THANK YOU!!!

[@WEmralddiva]

Thank you soooo much for this tutorial. I have such a hard time working this program and you have simplified it for me. You Rock!!!

[@Monkeyz60593]

Very helpful. Is SVG the only format I can save the image as? Or can I save it as DXF or NCP as well? Thank you 😁

[@misseyschnake5438]

Thank you for adding this!! I'm trying to learn inkscape, super confusing but this video helps alot!!!

[@kalisuraki8840]

Thank you so much....i love to learn more about inkscape from you..!!

[@rakcerve]

I believe you have simplified many aspects, but I would like to know if there is a way one can cut or change the corners of a photo I am trying to convert to svg. This is the first time I have done this, and I am not technical at all, so you really helped me. the thing is I have to publish the image to a product that happens to be round, and my first trial did not come out as I need. Just tell me if you can help, and thank you very much.

[@sootydave1]

Interesting video, 1 Question, Can these vectors be used with a laser engraver or CNC.?

[@cricutmom2978]

That I'm not 100% sure on, but I dont see why not!

[@amandapoole8970]

Omg that was so easy! I was scared to death! Day made! Thank you!

[@dianemamo3717]

How do you create the initial work rectangle that you put your mandala into? Thank you.

[@karenvelasquez2364]

[@michelepace8428]

thank u sooo much so helpful

[@rolfbackstrom3391]

Hi! Thank you for the presentation! I am looking for a way to enlarge jpg and png images without them becoming blurry. However, I need to keep the colors as well as black and white will not do. I thought the svg format would do the trick but maybe not? I would appreciate your comment, please! All the best Rolf

[@toddrichards6520]

Is SVG used for making patterns just for shirts ect... Is the program expensive

[@alfee3028]

quick question is it possible to change the colour if the individual shape? thanks

[@sheilasaicoe7946]

I followed this and learned so much! BUT, when I go to trace I get some broken lines. The lines are not broke prior. Is there a way to thicken the lines prior to the trace so the lines come out clean??

[@maryjohnson6010]

Thank You so much, you made Inkscape less intimidating.

[@cricutmom2978]

Mary Johnson thank you! This is just beginner, as I am new to Inkscape as Well! I just post as I learn lol!!!

[@alisalongnecker3888]

Thank you, I now understand how to create the sag in Inkscape! Do you have a tutorial using silhouette?

[@ynellirosas]

How can I make the tracing more accurately? My drawing doesn’t come out like yours

[@elfcraftvinylswindon4014]

Thanks that helpful. How do you make sure it only cuts around the image?

[@ecreates823]

Thank you so much, for sharing your knowledge.

[@jenpalubicki3179]

Hoping u could help. I thought I followed everything u showed but when I try n bring it into ds it says the uploaded svg contained the following items that are not supported: unsupported image type-import anyway? I did try n import but nothing comes up when I import. Could u plz help w/this. It’s a very basic black n white image

[@rhodabailey8575]

I love your video on this but my problem is my MMouse won't save. Tells me can't save svg. When you "Import" the file do you stsy in "Inkscape" or change it to JPEG? I've been following a lot of videos and images save some don't. Have you come across this?

[@heatherlamarca1118]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@kimberlymelvin5384]

Thank you so much! That was very informative!!

[@cathysiley4816]

have you done videos where there are multiple colors to make layers? thanks

[@dEViN1887]

nice video, thank u! just what i needed

[@sharonhashemi]

Hi so I did all that but my svg image comes in several cut layers on design center , how do I fix that so it’s one image, it’s all black and white

[@thenar]

Thanks mom. This also works for laser cutting.

[@AnnieCreates-hugs]

Thank you so much, think I might try Inkscape now !

[@cricutmom2978]

Ann Winn yay!! I am new to it as well, I make the videos as I learn how and tips and tricks! I hope to be posting more very soon!

[@cindyydnic4420]

Love this thank you so much!

[@cricutmom2978]

cindy ydnic thank you for watching!

[@scottridings6008]

Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@jayeshbhandari1490]

After the first save .... do we need to do that upload thing? If yes then what is the link of that site?

[@wastery9113]

OK.. I have another question- Is there a way that I can save the image from cricut to my desktop?

[@cricutmom2978]

Wastery unfortunately not from design space. You can add words to an image or something like that and save it from inkscape.

[@cindyborgen5480]

Yes, I used the snipping tool on your pc. Do a search for it. Very easy to use.

[@ashleynichole6587]

I don’t know if I have the right ink space 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@curtisgleaves9726]

Can I use the exact same procedure to change png tshirt images, I legally possess, to svg for commercial use?

[@marilynreno7510]

Yes.

[@Vm_khilona]

useful for me .....thank you so match

[@Rid0071]

mam how do i get those layer from the image that u converted to svg?

[@Mrjseaton10]

Question by doing this to any image it will make it vector?

[@marilynreno7510]

Yes

[@heatherpierce7855]

hello I am very new at ink scape I have watched your video a few times now, I do all the steps everything is good until i get to design space i upload the image still good until it goes in ds instead of having one layer like how its shows in the video with one layer , I have the multiple layers what am i doing wrong i hope this makes sense to you I am lost please help !!

[@cricutmom2978]

Heather Pierce may I ask what type of image are you trying to convert? Is it color or just simple black and white?

[@francostellini1082]

....... GOOD GOOD !!!!! LIKE !!!!!

[@nhawthorn4037]

Is inkscape only for cricket I have a cameo and I font know what I'm doing

[@marilynreno7510]

No, it's not.

[@neilchristiansen1123]

Thanks very helpful

[@piensaen1008]

I like it.

[@christiekasteler6118]

How do you remove text in Inkscape?

[@jfrench707]

New subscriber because I don’t speak Inkscape, 😂

[@heatherpierce7855]

It was a black n white I did get it to work some of the time but I am still having issues some do one layer and some do multiple layers like I said I am new at this program I did try a color one and it didn’t work right at all I know in the video it talks about slicing but the button does come up to use just the contour button

[@cricutmom2978]

Heather Pierce I have also learned you don't have to have your work within that square... you can actually also remove it if you like! I'm not sure why there would be several layers if it was just black and white.. a color one will have several layers.

[@SuperParty1984]

Okay, I'm new what is ink space?

[@whitleehueston1154]
