Here’s a helpful tutorial series I found on digital embroidery that I’ve been following. Took me from the basics to making a patch with multiple layers, satin border, and satin lettering.
Some of the most useful topics were:
- creating a patch (subtleties like minimizing # of color changes, excluding objects so that there’s only a uniform single layer)
- Ink/Stitch commands (minimizing # of jump threads, stopping embroidering after a certain object)
- some basic default settings for free-standing lace (FSL) projects - changing space between stitches, removing underlay for fills
Because it’s based on Ink/Stitch, it also helps teach Inkscape as well.
Also added the link to the wiki.
