    Hello everyone, thank you for watching this video. On the one year anniversary of its release, I have created an updated version. I'd recommend that you watch that one instead of this one because it is clearer, covers more topics, and answers some of your questions. Thanks!
    UPDATED VERSION: • 2 Ways to Digitize CUS...
    Hi guys! As a Mac user, I know how hard it is to find good, free embroidery software. Today I'm showing you a cross-platform way to digitize images for embroidery on embroidery machines. It's 100% free and doesn't involve any free trials or anything that is temporary. You can keep this forever! Please share this with your friends and people that may like this because this can be really helpful for some people!
    If you would like to help support my brother and I donate PPE for the frontline healthcare workers and people in need, please consider buying from and sharing our Etsy store at umakerz.etsy.com. Thanks in advance

    For everyone who couldn't see the file after saving it with an empty directory, open up the extensions folder that you had previously set in your preferences. After oppening that right click extension in lest of the "search extensions" and copy address then past that in to the directory slot!! it worked for me !!

    THANK YOU! You have saved me so much time and money. I really appreciate you making this video. I just bought my machine without realizing how expensive software is to be able to use my own designs. This has helped me create things such as business shirts for my dad without having to spend hundreds more on software.

    Okay for everyone having trouble with the Inkscape is damaged first make sure you have the right versions for both programs According too your computer version then deleted all of Inkscape and re-download and make sure it opens and runs before adding the extensions then add them while the app is still open then close and restart it and it should work.

    what seemed to work for me is clicking on file, save as and putting .pes or whatever file type at the end of your file name! it opened up in stitchbuddy for me and looks good - i'm about to try it out on my machine :)

  • @caesiumtea
    @caesiumtea 3 роки тому +13

    Thanks so much for this video! I had such a hard time trying to find free digitizing software. The video would be better if you didn't fast forward yourself at some points though, I'm not sure why you did that but it just makes it harder to follow your process. (if the viewer gets impatient watching you mess with settings they can always just jump ahead in the player on their own!)

    You should consider a donation link. Google pay is a good platform. I don't believe they take a percentage like PayPal and Facebook do. You'd be surprised how quickly even small donations grow. It will really help you with expenses for material and thread. Be sure to share with the guys making Inkscape/Inkstitch work. It takes a lot to keep that platform going. Thank you for the tutorial.

    For everyone having trouble downloading the PES file, change the location to your computer's downloads folder. You can find the link by opening up download, pressing the settings button, and then press the option "copy downloads as pathname". That is the link you can insert into directory.
