Very similar to my process. I typically do one additional layer and it’s a running stitch in the center of the satin layer (under/before the satin) and then I trim away the excess material before the satin stitch so that the live edge of the felt is contained within the satin stitch. Also adding a zigzag under/inside the satin stitch half a mm or so inset adds some more depth and a fuller appearance to the satin column. Good stuff. I love it, guys.

Thanks for watching the video and sharing a great tip!

[@elementgypsy]

That's what I do. Trim before the border.

This is by far the most helpful video I have found

Thanks so much for watching!😊

Really appreciate this explanation of using Inkstitch to make an embroidered patch - exactly what I was looking for and I love how you went through it step by step. I feel less intimidated by it all now. Thanks - great content!

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

I'm happy our video could help you through this embroidery process! Thank you for watching!

[@sethjohnson4513]

Great video with tons of useful details. Thank you. One little aside that I would have liked more depth on was what you did to back up and re-stitch that letter T. I'm thinking you made a new embroidery file from your design that ONLY had the letter T, but not sure. I like that you highlighted this side-problem and described the solution.

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

Glad you found the video useful! If you want more information on fixing this issue, we cover how to re-stitch parts of your design in another video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGPdl3uhoqqVprs Thanks for watching!

Still trying to figure out how to have a nearly perfect word logo byt still no results. The font im using is "planet kosmos", would love to see a video by you guys about it! Keep up the good work!!

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

Yeah, we'll try to make a video about this font in the future!

[@tracydorn6254]

For some reason my Satin Lines are connected. When I convert Line To Satin it looks exactly like your but when I zoom in there's a break in the line and I don't know how to connect it. Is something turned off/on? Please help. Thank You.

[@Ratbubble]

Mine isnt going all the way around only 2 of the corners work.

[@MarkusWITH_a_k]

Question. Did you use an adhesive on your stabilizer for your fabric

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

In our experience we haven't had to use adhesive with the type of material we use for patches, but that doesn't mean you can't use it. If you wanted to trim fabric off the sides before doing the satin stitch, it would make that difficult, so in that situation you would want to be careful about where you applied adhesive.

[@tinalawrence4291]

Hi. I love your video. I don’t use Inkscape yet. I do have an. Embroidery machine. My question might be silly but how would I get the patch design to my embroidery machine? Do I need a special machine I have a Brother Innovis 870SE. 13:45

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

We haven't used that machine before but we'd imagine it is similar to use. You will need a USB flash drive to save the .pes file you want to embroider from your computer to transfer to your embroidery machine. This video covers how we get our Ink/Stitch design to our embroidery machine to give you an idea of the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZWZXoKHaN2FbrMfeature=shared If you have a purchased file your process for saving will start in the video at 1:38. We have an Ink/Stitch Playlist with videos that explain how to use the software if you want to digitize your own projects: kzbin.info/aero/PLtQ8IvTMaEGI3NeU2MppOkukHviNKmrJl&feature=shared

[@MarkusWITH_a_k]

Can you do a video showing how to go back in and correct a certain step that was messed up like you just did with the T in text

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

Yeah, we'll put this on our video ideas list! Thanks for watching!

[@Dom-yx6yx]

Nice! What are your fill stitch settings?

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

Thanks for watching! All of our fill stitch settings are the default in Ink/Stitch.

[@MeWantHoneycomb]

Does inkstitch (As of now anyway) have the ability to change density? I know that has been an issue for a long while (most of my patches curl up after a wash, but easily flatten out with a simple ironing and look 100% brand new after), but from my understanding, embroideries are not supposed to curl up after washing in the first place. Most forums say it's due to density, but no one on all those forums know what inkstitch is -_- Personally I use it with great success for embroidering and framing, but when using it on a shirt for the first time ever, I ran into this issue.

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

You would have to go into Params to make changes for density issues with the design. We cover Params in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnmuo3-DgZagf7s Density has a big impact on projects but there are some fixes outside of Ink/Stitch design. Having a good support for the project is also important. So underlays and a good stabilizer crucial. Shirt fabrics tend to be fabrics that require a good foundation, since the material is sometime stretchy and can pull. We have found that adding Sulky Tender Touch iron on after embroidering (amzn.to/3E1WHQB) has been very helpful at keeping the material in place on shirts. We haven’t utilized it but Ink/stitch has a density map you could run to identify areas with high density: Run Extensions > Ink/Stitch > Visualize and Export > Density Map inkstitch.org/da/bdocs/visualize/

[@carolynyoung3860]

Can i add a pre bought design instead of text?

[@ProjectAnonymous_Duo]

You can probably add a pre-bought design on the patch instead of text (depending on how it was made & format). Just keep in mind the order of operations, size, and density. Thanks for watching!

[@carolynyoung3860]

@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo i tried that and when i went to institch preview it only did the patch but not the design i wanted

[@carolynyoung3860]

@@ProjectAnonymous_Duo can i also say love the videos but it would be very helpful to see what is on your computer more and follow along step by step as im a self learner and a visual learner so i also do know where every acrion is on my screen
