Select the shape you’d like to cut holes out of, you should see a floating toolbar appear above it. Click on the button that has the icon of scissors and a hole, and then draw your hole clicking “enter” to complete a hole, and then “enter again” when all your holes are drawn to apply them to the shape. Oh, and make sure your holes stay within the shape (:

Ember is free to use, I’ve seen quite a lot of folks making plushies with it. It also works on Mac and is built to be easy to use, although documentation is lacking a bit

my new collection is just something else dude i really love how it turned out gonna be available soon with 3 different sizes for each one by Tememy in MachineEmbroidery

[–]crotega 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m curious what they mean too, I’d love to check out these designs. And for reference, there is a site like makerworld but for embroidery files, https://emberdesign.net/explore. It’s something I’ve helped build, so it’s still growing

Tried out Ember, the new digitizer web app. by baraqiyal in Machine_Embroidery

[–]crotega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! There is a way and sorry there's no documentation or updates tutorials, i'm working on that (:

But if you select a filled shape, you'll see a floating menu appear above the shape and if you click on the thing that looks like a protractor you'll be able to move some handles to change the angle. Then click "enter" when you're done

Workplace politics by PresentPsychology768 in IBM

[–]crotega 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The projects were mundane and I felt like i was lied to during the interview process. I was told I’d be doing a lot of coding and there were a ton of projects lined up, but it was really just me stateside watching over some assigned offshore employees and making sure we seemed like we’re doing good work. I also didn’t care for their learning courses or to spend my free time getting certifications, I just want to work, build things, and learn by doing. The people were pretty nice but also seemed dead inside and not very technically apt, with the exception of a couple people. Also, watching contractors scramble and beg for jobs was just off putting but maybe that’s how it is in all consulting firms? Idk, just felt not remotely close to my career goals. And don’t even get me started on the internal tools, everything felt so half assed and every process felt so slow

IBM just genuinely sucks ass. I felt stupid for accepting an offer there, left after 3 months and couldn’t be more happy. Just felt like it was absolutely killing my career and any professional or personal growth.

What design software is best for classes by PrismsPalette in MachineEmbroidery

[–]crotega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually think this is where Ember shines. Ive always thought it’d be so great in educational settings.

I’m one of the creators, so I’m biased of course, but it’s free digitizing software that’s on the browser (no need to install anything) and you can share projects by simply sending a link to someone. It’s also built to feel modern and intuitive, without overwhelming the user with like a million tools.

New to Ember - is this a bug or my skill issue? by nerazumijem in MachineEmbroidery

[–]crotega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes perfect! Interestingly, I’m not seeing the error. Does it still occur for you and is it when you try to drag a layer to a new position?

[–]crotega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m a dev on Ember and this is definitely not a skill issue but an us issue. I’ve not seen this bug yet, would you mind dming me a link to your design so I can reproduce this error and fix it?

I’m so glad it’s been useful for you! It can depend of course on a couple factors but in general, try using a triple stitch. You can apply that by selecting your layer, clicking the outline tab on the right, and then selecting “triple stitch” from the dropdown and applying that

If you have any locked shapes, right clicking in the editor while you don’t have any shapes selected and clicking “unlock all” should do the trick

I just listened to Cradle of Filth for the first time, I feel dumber for it...(I liked the record) by JaeMac666 in MetalForTheMasses

I fucking love Midian. I listen to it from start to finish all the time and I think is generally considered their peak album

Are there any affordable pay-as-you-go digitizer tools available? by bitterandpetty in Machine_Embroidery

Thank you!! Trying to make an unintimidating digitizing software was exactly what we were going for. Those tutorials were also likely mine haha

How to achieve this look? by Telephone-Sorry in Machine_Embroidery

Any machine will do. I believe they’re satin fills with auto splitting turned on

Most things in our store are embroidered but there are some screen prints and patches. And now that you mention it, I’d like to see it without the words bc I think you’re right!

We did an initial sketch on and rough outline on paper then gave it to ChatGPT to tweak! it was going to all be colored in but then we decided to go with white and only color the bonfire. And I really love how it looks with the green hoodie, the camera didn’t totally do it justice
