    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!

    • @TockCustom
      @TockCustom  4 роки тому +2

      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.

      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 :)

    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.

    What a fantastic video! I have PED Basic, Palette 7 and Chroma Luxe and have watched countless videos, read the manuals and still end up fumbling through on my own. In One viewing of your video you have helped me understand many aspects of the programs I already have! I wrote notes furiously as you presented and these will help immensely! I will see if you have a video on how to utilize a background image to create an embroidery design, because I have a design that stumps my autodigitize. And your demo of how PE 10 creates an automatic patch edge was jaw dropping! Thank you!

    LOVE this video. Can you create more PE-Design tutorials? I’ve been watching others and your presence, tonality & inflection is 100fold better. I fell asleep last night watching someone else who was more monotone. LOL I just got PE-Design 11 three days ago & I exported some Brother files to play with. 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.

  • @DutchGem
    @DutchGem 4 роки тому +2

    Nice video. The patch option seems interesting. But when I see how some ppl make custom shaped patches, they do the following: first make the patch with a simple border. Then cut it out. Next they would put a layer of clear plastic (or water soluble film) in the hoop and have the machine sew the outline of the patch. Finally they stick the patch within the outline and have the machine do a thick border that covers up the cut edges. This way the patch comes right out the plastic and the border is nice and neat.
    Is this a method that you can recommend? If so, how would you design this using the software? Make 3 patterns for the patch, the outline and the final border? If not, how would you do it?

    • @TockCustom
      @TockCustom  4 роки тому

      This software has a "Make as a Patch" setting, which does the full embroidery, and a very dense satin stitch around the whole design, so you just need to cut right along the edge of the satin stitch. It's always a good idea to put fusible webbing on the back so prevent fraying, or you can use fray check.
      I did another video where I actually made a patch to show how that works too. You can certainly do it the way you outlined it, but that's just much more work than necessary.
      Thanks for a great question!

    The dongle w/the memory card you mention in the very beginning, can only be used with a brother machine?

Btw, your videos are soooo helpful!! Thank you for sharing!!

    • @TockCustom
      @TockCustom  4 роки тому +1

      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!!

  • @davidlarson4422

    Before increasing density,I might try an edge run underlay. The would neaten the edge better than density as even very dense stitching is limited by the weave of the fabric.

    • @TockCustom
      @TockCustom  4 роки тому

      This is a terrific recommendation. A lot of times I'll use Twill for patches since it has a bit of a tighter weave, but denim is just so accessible and cheap. It's pretty wild how many factors come into play when doing even simple projects, but that's the fun part of seeing what works best for everyone.

    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.

    When writing something simple like a name using a built-in font, how do you decrease the 'boldness' of it. In other words, how do I decrease the width of the stitching the program automatically uses for fonts. Fonts that have thin lines are coming out much more bold based on default stitching.

    • @TockCustom

      This particular program just draws in any fonts your computer has installed... so you might need to just go to one of those free "Font Websites" and find a 'condensed' or 'slim' version of that font. You can kind of squish the letters, but that might distort it too much.
      You can also design it in photoshop, paint.net, or inkscape... save it as a JPG and then upload it into PE-Design as an auto-punch image. That works too!
      Great question!

      JPGs work the best. PNGs do work, but only if they don't have any transparent areas. Also the larger the pixel count, then better it will look. Hope you got the hang of it :)
