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!

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!

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).

[@TockCustom]

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! :)

[@christianarroyo3221]

hey Tock, what type of format should the image be saved as so I can digitize it on brother pe?

[@TockCustom]

Brother machines read .PES files for embroidery. Hope you're able to get everything working!

[@johnsabaku2257]

Excellent tutorial, you made this very practical. The Zelda bag is awesome!

[@SN-bj5qz]

When uploading an image on this software what file does it have to be in?

[@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 😀

[@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.

[@TockCustom]

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 :)

I have two files though that I want to “delete” some of the stitches from. One file has two shells & I want to delete one of the shells. 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.

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 😊😊

[@mathewwallis2863]

Awesome vid! I'm just getting into all of this, myself, and this was very inspiring to watch. That Zoom H2n sounds pretty good, too! I just recently bought one of those, as well for another project I'm working on.

[@TockCustom]

Thanks Mathew! I appreciate the comment. and yeah, I've had this H2n for like 5 years, and I still love it!

[@charlesfaulkner8653]

Another awesome, inspirational, easy to follow video! Keep them coming. You’re not helping my budget any!

[@TockCustom]

Thanks a ton dude!! Yeah this kind of software isn't cheap... but there's no substitute for proper equipment!

[@jeannestucker7618]

Best yet. I might actually enjoy my machine again

[@TockCustom]

I really hope you get back into it, creating things is such a special thing to do!

[@charlenefiumara333]

Thank you! Love your videos. Always so informational.

[@TockCustom]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching :D

[@asthewheelsturnrv8624]

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

[@stephaniebabcock4170]

Wow, this video was a huge relief. I really thought digitizing was a lot harder! I am searching around to purchase the 11 but I am only seeing them sold on etsy shops. Where did you purchase the software and about how much did it cost? The price range online is very wide and have no clue how much it costs lol. BTW, you explained this so clearly!! Thank you!

[@ebbram9879]

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

[@TockCustom]

You're so welcome, thanks for watching!!

[@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!

[@MannyCamRS]

Great presentation. Whats the best way to learn digitizing? One-on-one training, software instruction manuals, course study? How did you learn?

[@TockCustom]

Honestly I just played around with the software until I figured all of this stuff out lol. There are a lot more features, and I'm planning on doing some more videos soon :)

[@MannyCamRS]

@@TockCustom Thanks for your reply. Can't wait to see more of your video's. Continued success.

[@jeanabeaudry-johnson427]

This is a great tutorial. Trying it today, can’t wait. Thanks.

[@TockCustom]

You've very welcome! Thank you for watching, hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@jweg4051]

Your videos are super informative. I inherited a singer quantum xl-6000 when my mom passed. Trying to figure out how to use it. Have you ever worked with that model before?

[@TockCustom]

I haven't worked with that particular machine, but most machines operate the same exact way. I'm sure you'll be able to set it up and thread it with some of my other videos. Thank you so much for the positive feedback - hope you can keep the love of your mom alive with some amazing new sewing projects. Please reach out if there's anything else you'd like to learn!

[@jay_cadiramen]

Really enjoyed this video -great to see a fellow male creator who enjoys machine embroidery. What software are you using to record your screen? Will you be making more of these videos?

[@TockCustom]

I use OBS to record - Just like some people use to stream. I will totally be making a lot more videos, but maybe not any more on machine embroidery digitizing for a while. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to learn :)

[@aceboogie959]

Great tutorials on this channel. Iam very grateful for your work

[@TockCustom]

Thanks a ton Ace! I appreciate you watching, happy to help!

[@calvinsim8910]

Best tutorial ever

[@TockCustom]

Thank you very much :D

[@lcjthomas]

Thank you. You made this look so easy.

[@TockCustom]

You are so welcome! Thanks for the comment, and yeah - it's really not too bad :)

[@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.

[@xtimeximperfectx]

This video was so helpful, definitely the best I've watched, instant suscribe! Though I have a question, do you know if PE Design 10 works for Janome machines? I wanna buy the Janome 350e, but I think this is the best embroidery software and I wanna make sure it works with the JEF format. Thank you!

[@TockCustom]

It does! Instead of saving it as a normal file - you just click "export to..." and then choose Janome .JEF file :)

[@xtimeximperfectx]

@@TockCustom thanks king! God bless you 🙌🏽

[@kathys9999]

Thank you for this video! Very, VERY HELPFUL!
