MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: The service I was using to host the API (the behind-the-scenes embroidery algorithm) is shutting down and will no longer work. Many of you have been experiencing errors that may be linked to that or, if you were using the second method, there are various versions of InkStitch that are experiencing issues at this time. As a solution, I am offering to digitize your designs for you.

My delivery time is estimated at 1 day, and with all the other benefits (all the information I send along with the file) this is honestly one of the best embroidery deals on the Fiverr platform.

I'll be posting a YouTube community post with more details, but I'd really appreciate it if you could check out the page and consider using my services. You'd get the same quality you're seeing from the videos plus more. Thank you for watching!

Mate, I just bought my machine yesterday but have been watching your video for a while now. I followed all the steps you clearly talked about and it worked without a single problem. You my friend are the goat. Cheers for showing me and the rest of us this tidy bit of knowledge. All the best

I've had an embroidery machine for years and I'm just learning that I can create my own designs or use images....of all the tutorials I've watch the video you've created last year and the this one is the most helpful. I want to say thank you for sharing your expertise and don't pay attention to those who say it's not helpful. In life no matter what you do there will always be 'nay sayers'

Bro you're so dope! making tutorials and whole websites SHEEESSH you a real one

[reneramirez]

I’m a beginner at embroidering and I was so nervous to digitize but this video gave me so much confidence!! Thank you for this, I can’t wait to get started

[sweet_cafe]

Wow, just wow. Followed step by step and it just works. I've worked with Photoshop extensively, Illustrator can be intimidating lol. Converting files into SMV files is a game changer. Converting again to PES files is icing on the cake. Just got a Brother SE600 and amazingly excited to be able to embroider my own designs. You're amazing and brilliant-- many thanks for sharing!!!

This is amazing, I watched your first video in january of 2021 after getting my first machine, with all the obstacles, I gave up and ended purchasing designs but creating my own is the real reason I got the machine in the first place. Options were looking extremely complicated compared to this! great job

Oh wow I just realized that I came from the original video 10 mins ago and the updated version was TODAY HAHA Great Work!

I am so grateful for this. All the embroidery softwares cost and arm and a leg. This is so great, thank you so much!!!! If you do a kickstarter for developing and embroidery community I think a lot of people would be thrilled to donate.

A great option for those of us who don't want to spend thousands on digitization software. Thank you!

I've had my embroidery machine for literal years. And I've been too scared to use it because I never found a good tutorial. You my friend, have shown me a free AND EASY way to digitize my designs and I can not thank you enough.

We also have the same machine so it was a plus seeing you use it. Thanks for being the best.

Your video is amazing!!! My daughter got an embroidery machine for Christmas and you have helped us so much to get her own designs into her machine, thank you👍

[mememe]

I can tell you really love teaching people and helping. Keep up the good work. Do what you love. Thanks

Love the easy to understand video. People can sometimes be caught up on the "file type" they need for their machines. It is best to check the user manual for your embroidery machine to make sure you are getting the correct file.

[ilovethe]

mate, you're an absolute flipping legend for this. thanks so much <3

[EdenMonsterhand]

A lot of thanks for your patience for learning us this method. It's working and I did not have need to pay anything ☺

Thank you for the work you have done to present a program/app for hobbyist/home sewers to use for digitizing. I found your tutorial to very helpful. I needed to use it side by side when doing the first file and the speed with which you clicked through the information was lightening speed. I ended up slowing it down to 50% speed making you sound like a drunkard. My family was laughing pretty hard. Perhaps you could do another update and slow down the process. Most of this comes natural for you and you know what, why, and where you are clicking. This is not for us.

However, it was very useful and easy once I could follow your clicking. I have digitized files in the past using draw, an expensive digitizing program, and finally exporting it into a stitching program to export to the machine. This was significantly easier and I thank you very much for taking the time to show us how to do it.

Hands down the best tutorial by far. I've been trying for weeks and FINALLY got it, so thank you!!!!

[TreyRYoung]

Thanks man! Was about to buy some software, but I already use inkscape so this was amazing.

This video was by far the most helpful and easily detailed video I have come across. I thank you so much. God bless you!!!😭❤❤❤
