If there is time… a few tips about using Ink/Stitch for Computerized Embroidery

  • Ink/Stitch
    • Ink/Stitch An open-source machine embroidery design platform/plugin based on Inkscape. You will need to download Inkscape in order to use Ink/Stitch.
    • With Ink/Stitch you can create an image then export it for use with a computerized embroidery machine.
    • Series of great beginner tutorials. I recommend watching the ones on Stroke, Fill, and Satin Columns.
