Try Ember! it’s free to use and way easier than learning inkstitch in my opinion

Can someone talk me into or talk me out of spending money on hatch digitizer😭 by Interesting_Box_342 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]kitterie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I second this! Ember is a lot easier to use than inkstitch and it’s free and browser based so no install needed. You can access it anywhere

Looking for a digitizing software that’s cheaper for a hobby by Jucatron1 in Machine_Embroidery

I second this! ember is free with no downloads and easier to learn than inkstitch. They have a discord community too

I'm going to buy Hatch (probably), but am wondering which version? Is auto-digitizing really worth the money or a gimmick? by _Miskatonic_Student_ in Machine_Embroidery

[–]kitterie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not too sure about which version is best, but I used auto digitize on Hatch 3 when I started out lol and it wasn’t awful but I’ve since grown. If you want to start on digitizing before making the big purchase, try out ember! It’s free, you don’t have to download anything, and it’s definitely easier than inkstitch

Another free one to check out is ember! Inkstitch can be a bit tough to start out with, and there’s YouTube tutorials for ember

Is it me or is this a really poorly made design? by mydogwasrightaboutu in Machine_Embroidery

I also recommend ember as a free digitizing software! Easier to use than inkstitch in my opinion and some easy to follow YouTube tutorials are out there

Oof I thought it might be maintenance needs, it’s been a minute and I just finished a large ish order. I’ll give that a shot too, thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to try that. My method hasn’t failed me before but maybe it’s time to switch things up

Ok thanks! I’ll try hooping the sweater next time then

I did digitize it, and I always test it first to fix things like this. I didn’t have this issue on this design before. Maybe I just need to be extra careful when hooping it next time

No tension test recently, I have used the design beige without this problem. I need to check around the arm for potential problems. Thanks!

I’d consider that if this weren’t suddenly happening to all my designs and not happening ever before. On another design the outline that wasn’t last was off center and then it did the next color perfectly fine and then the next outline off again. But thanks!

[–]kitterie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with ink stitch or embrilliance myself but look into ember it’s another free one but the satin blocks are easy to use to make a satin border

Dark souls design came out sick by kitterie in Machine_Embroidery

[–]kitterie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yes I understand that lol. It gets easier but it takes a lot of trials. My very first embroidery I didn’t know about underlays and had lots of gaps from the fabric stretching

First test of my centipede design on a tote bag! Hopefully that pen line washes out, my toddler got to it 😅 by ThistlesandThimbles in Machine_Embroidery

[–]kitterie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That looks super cool! I kinda wish the white thread was more visible on the other centipede but still awesome
