How to digitize graphics for embroidery - Tock Custom

[@SarahBhaiSaab]

Finally someone who doesn't hide the software from the public. This other "digitizer" youtuber (NDM) avoids answering what software he uses, and I'm almost positive it's this one because he only uses Brother machines. Thank you!

Omg I love this software, why would anyone hide this lol Thanks for watching, hope this was helpful!

[@OleensEmbroidery]

It is very powerful software and can do just about everything the best commercial software can, although it may take a few more steps. Myself, I am an old school hand digitizer following in the footsteps of John Deer, Steve Wilson and Walter Floriaini. All about machine productivity and pathing. Never have used the auto features. However, when used correctly as you have done, you can get excellent results. As long as you do not have to sew out more than a dozen it is a good way to go.

Great video! I seem to have mixed results when importing art with auto punch. What file type do you use? I create in Corel Draw and seem to have best luck exporting as .png file to import in Brother. Still not best quality..Eps file looks terrible.

[@TockCustom]

Generally JPG's or JPEG's work the best. Higher resolution is always better - at least 1000x1000 pixes or higher. PNG's and EPS files are crazy high compression, so JPG's are much easier for this software to handle. Hope that helps, and hope you're doing terrific!

[@TockCustom]

JPG works the best - but PNG's work well too as long as they don't have any transparent areas. The higher the resolution, the better 😀

Thanks for this tutorial. I bought a Babylock 10 needle embroidery machine 6 months ago. Palette 11 came with the bundle. I've been busy learning the machine, but to tell the truth, I've been too intimidated with the software to even install it until today.

What kind of formatting was your GOT picture when you uploaded it? I had issues that the quality went down or the image changed once I started messing with the settings like you did ( changed the color quantity, noise and so forth).

I usually use JPEG's. You can use a PNG too, but make sure it doesn't have any transparent areas. The higher resolution the better. Great question, hope this helps! :)

Me again, sorry! I would like to know where the Pe-Design other versions can be found 2,5,8 something like that. I saw PE- Design 10 as and upgrade for over $300. Then after numerous hours of searching, I saw a Pe Design 10 for about $1300's! Can you recommend a digitizing software for beginner to tryout before making such a large investment? Anything thats in a PES format.

[@TockCustom]

Unfortunately there's really no way around the price - every brand that makes digitizing software is extremely expensive. You can usually make your money back very quickly if you do a lot of custom patch or embroidery jobs for sure. I made like $500 in a week once just doing a handful of very specific patches for a customer - so that paid for half the software in a week :)

[@paratroopergirl4064]

I just asked the same question. That was not an added expense that I was expecting. I watched several videos and no one mentioned this was required. But, I did hear the word digitize today.

[@TockCustom]

@@paratroopergirl4064 Another option you have if the software is too expensive is to buy embroidery files online - there are usually thousands of premade designs you can get for about $2 to $5 dollar each, and use them as much as you want :)

It won’t “ungroup” and the left pane only displays “1” & the whole stitch pattern. Where as the Butterfly imported as multiple steps so I was able to reorder the stitches by color & right size the pattern for my face mask space. Keep up the GREAT work.

Oh awesome! I'm happy these are so helpful, you'll totally be able to make band patches no problem :) You got a great machine there, it'll last you for years if you maintain it. (I've had mine for almost 6 years, still use it everyday). Let me know if you have any questions along the way!

[@TockCustom]

This comment is such a great compliment to the style that I use to teach :) I really appreciate it! Hope you're having a wonderful week!

[@suus_creative6936]

Thank you so much for your video, I just got an embroidery machine and the software and this I really helpful. I would love to see more tutorials on this software ❤️

[@shav2102]

Awesome!! I'm so glad I found this video and your channel. I dont no if you have as I have yet to look through your channel do u think we could have some more in depth info of this software or how to do a custom design. Or how to trouble shoot problems. Please ignore my suggestions if you have already done videos on this 😊😊

[@klinekeele3065]

This is what I needed, awesome video! I've never touched a sewing machine in my life but looking to get started. I would love a tutorial on how to sew a design like this onto a simple T-shirt would be awesome!

[@TockCustom]

I already have another video on "Intro to embroidery" that could totally help you out with your project! Thanks for watching :)

[@klinekeele3065]

@@TockCustom I will go find it! Thank you!!!!

[@thesparrowsnest8343]

Your video is amazing! It’s clear and easy to understand. I will seriously consider purchasing this software. Thanks for sharing. I am also subscribing to your channel. 😊

[@georgedjmatrix4229]

Thank You for sharing this video, i have always been intimidated by embroidery software. PE looks simple , i have Wilcom but i rarely use it. i am more familiar with photoshop and illustrator. after looking at your video, i am going to jump into Digitizing Software and give it a try. Once again Thank you for sharing.

[@TockCustom]

Thanks a ton for watching. Yeah, if you're familiar with photoshop and illustrator it'll make your life a lot easier when designing embroideries. You can just design it first, then just plop it into this and you're all set most of the time. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks for the comment!

[@Amys_Crafts-N-Things]

❤❤❤ thank you for this! I'm super new to pe design, you make this look super easy!!

[@chrisrollings2408]

Thanks for sharing, this is a huge help. I’m new to embroidery machines, am I able to use this on a Singer embroidery machine or would I need to purchase their version?

[@asthewheelsturnrv8624]

Your video is very well done and explains this software. Thank you

[@brandymacak8885]

I am brand new to the embroidery world. I just purchased a Brother SE625. Im looking for software to create my own design and to be able to digitize logo's etc. Will the PE Design 10 work with my machine or do I need to upgrade to the 11? You mentioned a disk, my machine takes a USB. Your video is amazing and so helpful for this newbie.

[@TockCustom]

Any version of any PE-Design software will work with any Brother embroidery machine (and others). Brother machines read .pes files, which this software will make. Some of the newer Brother machines have both a USB slot, and a card reader slot - but either will work fine. Thanks for watching, I hope this was helpful!

[@ScoperMonstar]

The dongle w/the memory card you mention in the very beginning, can only be used with a brother machine? What if I own a Bernette B79 Sewing and Embroidery Machine, can it still use this PE Design 10 program? If not, what other type of program can I use for the Bernette machine? Btw, your videos are soooo helpful!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@TockCustom]

So you just need the dongle to run the software, and the memory card is designed to fit in Brother embroidery machines. But you can also export files to work with a Bernette machine I believe, and then use a USB stick to transfer the files. I'm not 100% sure if PE-Design creates files for that machines, so please do some research before investing in the software :) Hope that helps, thanks for the comment!!

[@talentsibanda4044]

i got a job interview on monday and this is what i just wanted to sharpen my skills

[@TockCustom]

Perfect! Hope the interview went terrific!

[@ireneclements552]

I was looking for how to actually create a vector graphic design to use in my digitizing software vs having to use a raster graphic. I do not own this software so your video was not helpful for me but you explain how to use this software nicely.

[@TockCustom]

I'm pretty sure this software cant read vector or SVG files, but you can just save it as a JPG and use it that way. Thanks for watching :)

[@JohnScheersDewmuffins]

Have you ever used InkScape/Inkstich in your workflow? I utilize Adobe Illustrator 2020 as part of my design workflow and would like to include it with digitizing embroidery process. But the best I could find is i2 software that is an Illustrator plugin. It is commercial grade and has a price tag to match, over 3k. While searching for a similar alternative I came across Inkscape/Inkstitch. It is open source and therefore free. I am considering utilizing this app but wanted to hear from more experienced people such as yourself. Note: It is difficult to find PE Design software, and as you pointed out previously, most of the online software seems to be a scam. My Brother SE400 has a USB-B port, so I think I do not need a card reader, and can transfer the PES files directly from my computer to the sewing machine. Also, thank you for such a great tutorial.

[@TockCustom]

I have not used Inkstitch, but I really want to check that out now! I'm a little familiar with InkScape, and I love open source software. Thanks for the recommendation! As long as you can save files as .PES, your Brother machines will be able to read the files. You're 100% correct about the USB port also, sounds like you know exactly what you're doing :)

[@JohnScheersDewmuffins]

@@TockCustom Thank you, Tock. I appreciate your response.

[@ebbram9879]

Brilliant tut thanks Tock, I have PE Design 10 and love digitizing,

[@TockCustom]

You're so welcome, thanks for watching!!

[@sureshpatel3225]

Hi Tock , I like your video,where can I learn how to program your own design as you presented in video. Specially the texture, stitches type and so many things you explained.

[@TockCustom]

Hello! Where can you learn how to make your own designs? I thought that's what this video was about, right? If this wasn't clear enough I'm sure there are tons of other more helpful videos out there! Forgive me if I didn't understand the question, but I hope you find what you're looking for :)

[@prestocastellano7668]

Thanks for the time to make these videos. Very informative 👍🏻I do have some questions. I recently purchased PE Design 10 upgrade version. Upon installation I recieve a message about Must connect a card writer/reader module. I'm hoping you can clear the confusion. What is the best ( card reader module) for me to get for PE Design 10 upgrade version? Also does PE Design 10 upgrade version software work by itself or do I have to purchase another software so that I can use Pe Design 10? If any one else can chime in I would greatly appreciate you all. Thanks a million
