they will make it more comfortable working with Ink/Stitch. + +5 +00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:24,400 +This tutorial will teach how to: + +6 +00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,320 +Install Ink/Stitch Addons for Inkscape + +7 +00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:32,640 +The Ink/Stitch Add-ons installer will add manufacturer color palettes + +8 +00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,300 +and Ink/Stitch specific symbols to your Inkscape installation. + +9 +00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,760 +Define shortcut keys for fast and easy access to often used functions. + +10 +00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,820 +Display path outlines to make the stitch direction visible. + +11 +00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:50,540 +Use grids to align your pattern. + +12 +00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:55,220 +Create and load templates as a basic page setup. + +13 +00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,960 +Let's start with the Ink/Stitch Add-ons. + +14 +00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:08,960 +In fact these Add-ons are two files which need to be placed in specific folders of your Inkscape installation. + +15 +00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:17,280 +Run 'Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Install add-ons for Inkscape' and click install. + +16 +00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,940 +You will have to restart Inkscape for this to have any effect. + +17 +00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:28,620 +Open the color palettes panel and you will find a lot of new palettes. + +18 +00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,920 +They all start with Ink/Stitch, so you can easily recognize them. + +19 +00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,740 +Now you can plan your design directly with your thread manufacturers color palettes. + +20 +00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,920 +Thread names will also be displayed in the browser output so you can share it directly with your customer. + +21 +00:02:01,740 --> 00:02:05,880 +The second feature we will get to know better in the visual commands tutorial. + +22 +00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:15,720 +It made symbols available, which will be used to give Ink/Stitch more information about the way your design should be stitched out. + +23 +00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,180 +Let's add e.g. an ignore symbol to one object. + +24 +00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,020 +It indicates, that this particular object should not be stitched at all. + +25 +00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,120 +Create two objects + +26 +00:02:37,860 --> 00:02:39,860 +and run the simulator. + +27 +00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,520 +Both objects are displayed. + +28 +00:02:51,140 --> 00:02:59,460 +With one object selected go to 'Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Commands > Attach command to selected Objects'. + +29 +00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:03,760 +Enable the ignore checkbox and click on 'Apply'. + +30 +00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,840 +Now run the simulator again. + +31 +00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,460 +Only one of the two objects is being shown. + +32 +00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:26,100 +There are many more options in the visual commands section, but for now we have more customizations to do. + +33 +00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,700 +In Ink/Stitch there are many functions which you will be frequently using. + +34 +00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:38,660 +You do not really want to click through the menu all the time. + +35 +00:03:38,660 --> 00:03:42,960 +This means you will be wanting to use keyboard shortcuts. + +36 +00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,220 +We will not go through all possibilities here, + +37 +00:03:47,220 --> 00:03:52,600 +but only show you how to setup shortcut keys, so you can add more later. + +38 +00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,200 +There is a list on inkstitch.org to give you further advice which key combinations you could use. + +39 +00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,780 +Open the Preferences through 'Edit > Preferences'. + +40 +00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:08,520 +Navigate to "Interface" and choose "Keyboard Shortcuts". + +41 +00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:11,500 +Search for "params". + +42 +00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,500 +You will find it under "Extensions". + +43 +00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:18,240 +Click into the field below "Shortcut" and enter "Ctrl+Shift+P". + +44 +00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,440 +Next search for "simulate" and enter "Ctrl+Shift+L" + +45 +00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:39,380 +Then add "Ctrl+R" to reverse the path direction. + +46 +00:04:39,940 --> 00:04:45,120 +and finally "Page down" for "stack down" and "Page up" for "stack up" + +47 +00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,620 +Let's have a closer look to the stack up and down functions. + +48 +00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:53,680 +Open the object panel. + +49 +00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:01,040 +It displays a full list of all layers, groups and objects in the document in it's "stacking order". + +50 +00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,240 +Remove the ignore symbol that we previously added and + +51 +00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,360 +move the objects so that they are overlapping each other. + +52 +00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:14,220 +If you use the raise and lower buttons on the first object, + +53 +00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:17,880 +you will see, how their stacking order is changing positions. + +54 +00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,760 +This doesn't work work if the objects are not overlapping each other. + +55 +00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,060 +Now use your newly created shortcut keys and see, that the stacking order is changing again. + +56 +00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,200 +The up and down buttons in the objects panel will do the same as your keyboard shortcuts. + +57 +00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,760 +The objects position will define the order from bottom to top + +58 +00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:48,580 +how your pattern is being stitched out and this makes it to be a main feature while carefully planing your design. + +59 +00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:59,040 +Path outlines will show you the direction of the path. + +60 +00:06:00,220 --> 00:06:05,200 +The path direction is important for all stitch types except for fill stitches. + +61 +00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,120 +It defines at which end of the stroke the stitching will begin. + +62 +00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:19,620 +In 'Preferences > Tools > Node' enable the following checkboxes + +63 +00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:25,340 +"show patch directions on outlines" and "show temporary outline for selected paths". + +64 +00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:34,180 +With objects selected press "N" to activate the node tool and enable "Show path outline". + +65 +00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:38,640 +You will see a red path surrounding the objects. + +66 +00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,620 +The spikes indicate the path direction. + +67 +00:06:46,660 --> 00:06:51,020 +You can use grids to align patterns properly. + +68 +00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:58,420 +To activate them open 'File > Document Properties' and switch to the "Grids" tab. + +69 +00:06:59,380 --> 00:07:06,960 +Click on New and change units to mm (this is the common unit used for stitch length etc.) + +70 +00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:11,180 +and set the x- and y-spacing to 1. + +71 +00:07:12,260 --> 00:07:15,860 +If you zoom out the major grid line will be displayed. + +72 +00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:27,600 +It defaults to 5, change it to 10, then you have 1 cm to be displayed. + +73 +00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,000 +Your objects will will snap to the grid edges by default. + +74 +00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:45,060 +You can change this by disabling snapping or disable "Snap to grids only". + +75 +00:07:51,020 --> 00:07:59,420 +If you want to temporarily hide the grid, hit # or change it through the menu: 'View > Page Grid'. + +76 +00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:08,500 +Also have a look at the panel "Align and Distribute" which you can find under 'Objects' in the menu. + +77 +00:08:09,660 --> 00:08:13,140 +Here you can find a lot of useful aligning methods. + +78 +00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,420 +It seems to be no fun to set up the same document properties over and over again. + +79 +00:08:29,060 --> 00:08:35,220 +You would rather like to open a new document and it has the size of your embroidery frame. + +80 +00:08:35,780 --> 00:08:37,780 +Well, that is possible. + +81 +00:08:38,260 --> 00:08:44,060 +Once you organized everything as desired, simply save your file in your templates folder. + +82 +00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,720 +Select the template folder path for your operating system from the description below. + +83 +00:09:00,780 --> 00:09:06,980 +You can now access your template through 'File > New from template' + +84 +00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:13,980 +On inkstitch.org you can even download a predefined template with various hoop sizes. + +85 +00:09:14,620 --> 00:09:16,620 +We hope you enjoyed the tutorial. + +86 +00:09:17,780 --> 00:09:20,560 +Now you

You can also use negative values. + +17 +00:01:54,660 --> 00:02:02,120 +Expand the shape before stitching. This compensates the pull effect and helps to avoid gaps between sections. + +18 +00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:09,640 +Define the maximum fill stitch length.

--> 00:04:43,580 +one on each rail and click on + +41 +00:04:44,660 --> 00:04:47,400 +"Break path at selected nodes". + +42 +00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:56,640 +Now you have to seperate the paths by hitting "Ctrl + Shift + K" and recombine your sub-paths with "Ctrl + K". + +43 +00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,600 +Using the satin tools will require two steps. + +44 +00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:18,760 +First select your satin column and run "Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Commands > Attach commands to selected objects..." + +45 +00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,980 +and enable "Satin cut point" before you click on "Apply". + +46 +00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:29,340 +Move the symbol to the exact point where you want the satin column to split up. + +47 +00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,220 +It will split where the connector touches the rail. + +48 +00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:43,400 +Then run "Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Cut Satin Column". + +49 +00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:55,020 +Please note, that in params you already need the satin column to be enabled for this to work. + +50 +00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:15,440 +"Flip Satin Column Rails" is a tool to help you plan your stitch path precisely. + +51 +00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:25,160 +A satin column which originally starts on the left rail and ends on the right, will start on the right rail and end on the left. + +52 +00:06:25,820 --> 00:06:30,980 +This might shorten connections between the previous and next stitch object. + +53 +00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:44,800 +Select the satin column and run "Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Flip Satin Columns" + +54 +00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:10,800 +Planing the order and connections of stitch objects can be very time consuming. + +55 +00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,560 +Therefore Ink/Stitch comes with a tool that will take away a lot of this work. + +56 +00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,860 +"Auto-Route Satin Columns" will order your satin columns in logical stitching order. + +57 +00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,180 +It will create under-pathing and jump-stitches as necessary. + +58 +00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,040 +Single satin columns might also be split up to avoid jump stitches. + +59 +00:07:39,740 --> 00:07:46,920 +Resulting satins will retain all of the parameters you had set on the original satins. + +60 +00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:52,460 +Select satin columns with all parameters set (underlay, etc.). + +61 +00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:59,460 +Run "Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Auto-Route Satin Columns..." + +62 +00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,060 +Enable desired options and click apply. + +63 +00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:31,020 +You can even define a start and an end point for your ordered satin columns by + +64 +00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:37,620 +attaching "Auto-route satin stitch starting" and "ending position" commands. + +65 +00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:03,060 +If this went too fast for you, you might be interested into the visual commands tutorial. + +66 +00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,340 +Let's have a closer look into the params dialogue and what it offers for satin columns. + +67 +00:09:18,340 --> 00:09:21,380 +"Custom satin column" has to be enabled. + +68 +00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:28,420 +Satin stitches pull the fabric together, resulting in a column narrower than you draw in Inkscape. + +69 +00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:33,400 +With the "Pull compensation" setting you can expand the satin column. + +70 +00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:40,640 +You’ll have to experiment how much compensation you need for your combination of fabric, thread, and stabilizer. + +71 +00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:45,940 +Zig-zag spacing will define the density of your satin column. + +72 +00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:49,420 +Well, now we talked much about the satin column itself. + +73 +00:09:49,420 --> 00:09:53,680 +But a very important part is still missing, which is the underlay. + +74 +00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,360 +Ink/Stitch supports three kinds of underlay. + +75 +00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:04,160 +For wide columns or challenging fabrics, you can even use all three underlay types together. + +76 +00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,840 +This is a row of running stitch down the center of the column and back. + +77 +00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,140 +This may be all you need for thin satin columns. + +78 +00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:25,100 +You can also use it as a base for more elaborate underlay. + +79 +00:10:29,260 --> 00:10:36,760 +This is a row of running stitch up one side of the column and back down the other. + +80 +00:10:36,980 --> 00:10:44,080 +The rows are set in from the edge of the column by the amount you specify. + +81 +00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,680 +For small or medium width satin, this may serve well enough by itself. + +82 +00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:05,280 +This is essentially a lower-density satin stitch sewn to the end of the column and back to the start. + +83 +00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:18,460 +The biggest purpose for E-stitch is a simple but strong cover stitch for applique items. + +84 +00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:23,220 +Mainly for baby cloths as their skin tends to be more sensitive. + +85 +00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,120 +E-stitch is created just as a satin column. + +86 +00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:44,740 +But in the params dialogue enable the E-stitch option and increase the zig-zag spacing. + +87 +00:11:44,740 --> 00:11:47,740 +Underlay is not needed for this stitch type. + +88 +00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:55,620 +If the points are facing the wrong way, just use the “flip satin column rails” tool as described before. + +89 +00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:03,360 +We hope you enjoyed this tutorial and got an overview about satin stitch types. + +90 +00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,060 +You might also want to watch our videos about

This is the tutorial for Linux users. + +**macOS:** You find the tutorials for Windows and Linux in the description below. This is the tutorial for MacOS users. + +## Requirements + +Let's start with the requirements. + +1. Ink/Stitch is an Inkscape plugin. Which means you definitely need to have Inkscape installed. + + Any version is fine, but we recommend to have at least version 0.92.2 installed, because it comes with new features that are essential to organize the stitching order of your design. + + You can download Inkscape for free on their website at
+ **Linux:** or install it directly through your distributions repositories. + +2. Ink/Stitch uses a web-browser to create print-out information sheets for both, operator and customer. You might also enjoy this feature, because it optionally displays a realistic preview of your design. + + To be able to use this feature you will need a modern HTML5 capable browser, which you will most likely have already installed since you are watching this tutorial. + +3. All other dependencies are delivered by the Ink/Stitch plugin itself. Which makes the installation fairly easy. + +## Installation + +* To get the latest Ink/Stitch release for your operating system visit + + **Windows:** Click on "Download Ink/Stitch" and save the archive with win32 in its filename. + + **Linux:** Click on "Download Ink/Stitch" and save the archive with linux_64 in its filename. It will work on 64bit systems only. + + **macOS:** Click on "Download Ink/Stitch" and save the archive with osx_64 in its filename. + +* In Inkscape go to Edit > Preferences > System and check where your user extensions folder is located. +* Decompress the Ink/Stitch archive directly into the extensions folder. + +And that's it. You already did all the steps necessary in order to install Ink/Stitch. + +## Testrun + +Now let's check if Ink/Stitch is actually working. + +* Restart Inkscape + +* You will find the extension under Extensions > Ink/Stitch + +* Draw a shape and convert it to a path + +* With the newly created path selected run "Params". Beside of the params dialogue you will see a simulation which will update as you change the values. + + +--- + +We hope you enjoyed the tutorial and have Ink/Stitch up and running. + +If you run into any trouble during the installation process, please report your problem back to us on GitHub (link in the description below).

They all start with Ink/Stitch, so you can easily recognize them. + +Now you can plan your design directly with your thread manufacturers color palettes. Thread names will also be displayed in the browser output so you can share it directly with your customer. + +### Visual Commands + +The second feature we will get to know better in the visual commands tutorial. It made symbols available, which will be used to give Ink/Stitch more information about the way your design should be stitched out. + +Let's add e.g. an ignore symbol to one object. It indicates, that this particular object should not be stitched at all. + +Create two objects and run the simulator. Both objects are displayed. + +With one object selected go to `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Commands > Attach command to selected Objects`. + +Enable the ignore checkbox and click on Apply. + +Now run the simulator again. Only one of the two objects is being shown. + +There are many more options in the visual commands section, but for now we have more customizations to do. + +## Shortcut Keys + +In Ink/Stitch there are many functions which you will be frequently using.

Click into the field below `Shortcut` and enter `Control + Shift + C`. +* Next search for "simulate" and enter `Control + Shift + L` +* Then add `Control + R` to "reverse the path direction" +* and finally `Page down` for "stack down" and `Page up` for "stack up" + +Let's have a closer look to the stack up and down functions. + +Open the object panel. It displays a full list of all layers, groups and objects in the document in it's `stacking order`. + +Remove the ignore symbol that we previously added and move the objects so that they are overlapping each other. + +If you use the raise and lower buttons on the first object, you will see, how their stacking order is changing positions. + +This doesn't work work if the objects are not overlapping each other. + +Now use your newly created shortcut keys and see, that the stacking order is changing again. The up and down buttons in the objects panel will do the same as your keyboard shortcuts. + +The objects position will define the order from bottom to top how your pattern is being stitched out and this makes it to be a main feature while carefully planing your design. + +## Path Outlines + +Path outlines will show you the direction of the path. + +The path direction is important for all stitch types except for fill stitches. It defines at which end of the stroke the stitching will begin. + +In `Preferences > Tools > Node` enable the following checkboxes `show patch directions on outlines` and `show temporary outline for selected paths`. + +With objects selected press `N` to activate the node tool and enable `Show path outline`. + +You will see a red path surrounding the objects. The spikes indicate the path direction. + +## Grids + +You can use grids to align patterns properly. +To activate them open File > Document Properties and switch to the `Grids` tab. +Click on New and change units to mm (this is the common unit used for stitch length etc.) and set the x- and y-spacing to 1. +If you zoom out the major grid line will be displayed. It defaults to 5, change it to 10, then you have 1 cm to be displayed. + +Your objects will will snap to the grid edges by default. You can change this by disabling snapping or disable `Snap to grids only`. +If you want to temporarily hide the grid, hit # or change it through the menu: `View > Page Grid`. + +Also have a look at the panel `align and distribute` which you can find under Objects in the menu. Here you can find a lot of useful aligning methods. + +## Templates + +It seems to be no fun to set up the same document properties over and over again. +You would rather like to open a new document and it has the size of your embroidery frame. +Well, that is possible. + +Once you organized everything as desired, simply save your file in your templates folder. +Select the template folder path for your operating system from the description below. + +You can now access your template through `File > New from template`. + +On you can even download a predefined template with various hoop sizes. + +--- + +We hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Now you are all set to start your creative work. + +If you have any questions about Ink/Stitch, please contact us on GitHub. + +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) + diff --git a/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/04-stitch-types-transcipt.md b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/04-stitch-types-transcipt.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a5be8f274 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/04-stitch-types-transcipt.md @@ -0,0 +1,296 @@ +--- +title: Transcript - 04 Stitch Types - Beginner Tutorial Series +permalink: /tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/04-stitch-types-transcript +last_modified_at: 2019-03-12 +language: en +image: "/assets/images/tutorials/video-preview-images/beginner-tutorial-series.png" + +toc: true + +exclude-from-tutorial-list: true +--- +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) + +## Welcome to the Ink/Stitch beginner tutorial series. + +**In this part we are going to have a closer look which stitch types Ink/Stitch is able to perform.** + +We will not explain the stitch types in general, but only how to create them in Ink/Stitch. + +Ink/Stitch stitch types can be roughly divided into three sections: stroke, satin and fill. + +Here is a complete list, so you can quickly navigate to the stitch type you are interested in. + +**Stroke:** This is the tutorial about stroke type stitches. + +**Satin:** This is the tutorial about satin columns. + +**Fill:** This is the tutorial about fill stitches. + +## Stroke type stitches + +Stroke stitches can be used for: outlines, line art embroidery or to add details into your design. + +### Zig-zag + +Zig-zag stitches are are easy to create. +We recommend to use them only for straight lines, because they will not stitch nicely around edges. +In most cases, you would prefer a satin column instead. + +That said, let's see how they are done. + +Hit `B` to enable the bezier curve tool and draw a simple path. +Open the `Fill and Stroke` settings and set the path width in the stroke style tab. +This will define the height of your zig-zag-line. +It should be at least 0.6 mm. + +Go to `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Params` to open the parameter dialogue. + +`Satin stitch along path` has to be enabled in the Stroke tab. +Set zig-zag-spacing to whatever you like it to be. +You can also define the number of repeats. +All other settings will not have any effect on zig-zag stitching. + +### Running Stitch + +Running stitches are created in a similiar way. +But this time you have to set the stroke style to a dashed line. +Any type of dashes will do the job and stroke width is irrelevant. + +Create a path and open the params dialogue. + +`Satin stitch along path` has to be enabled in the Stroke tab. +Setting can be applied for `running stitch length` and `repeats`. + +### Bean Stitch + +Bean stitch creates thicker threading through back and forth repetition of running stitches. + +It works almost the same as running stitches, but you have to set additionally the `bean stitch number of repeats`. + +A value of 1 would triple each stitch, because it goes forward, back and forward again. +A value of 2 would results in a quintupled stitch. + +### Manual Stitch + +In manual stitch mode Ink/Stitch will use each node of a path as a needle penetration point, exactly as you placed them. + +Create a path. Line style and width are irrelevant. +We recommend to display all nodes of the corresponding path as corners, since manual stitch will not respect bezier curves. + +Run `Params` and enable `Manual stitch placement`. +All other settings will have no effect in manual stitch mode. + +Remember to also add tie-in or tie-off stitches, since they are not created automatically in manual stitch mode. + +--- + +We hope you enjoyed this tutorial and got a small overview about all stroke stitch types Ink/Stitch is capable to perform. +You might also want to watch our videos about satin columns and fill stitches. + + +## Satin Columns + +Satin stitch is mostly used for borders, letters or small fill areas. + +Ink/Stitch will draw zig-zags back and forth between two lines, while you can vary the thickness of the column as you like. + +There are various methods to create satin columns. + +We will first show you the very basic and manual way, before we simplify the process with the help from satin tools. + +### Satin Path Object + +#### Node Method + +So let's create two paths and combine them with `Path > Combine` or `Ctrl + K`. + +Next we open the params dialogue and switch to the `satin column` tab, where we enable `Custom satin column`. + +In our example the simulator shows not what we expected. This is what you get, when path directions aren't the same on both sides of the rails. + +Activate the node tool by pressing `N` and select your satin column. If you followed our customize tutorial you will see red sparks indicating the path direction. +Select one node of one path and run `Path > Reverse` or use your custom shortcut key to reverse the path. + +If you run params again you will now see the correct satin column being animated. + +You can influence the angle with help of the nodes. + +But always keep in mind, that on both rails we need the same amount of nodes. TODO +Otherwise you will receive an error message like this. + +#### Rung method + +This is easy to achieve in a simple path like this. But what if you have a more complex shape and you really don't feel like counting nodes all day. + +Well, Ink/Stitch has a solution for this. The "rung"-method. + +With the satin column selected activate the pencil tool by pressing `P`. Hold shift while you draw the rung. Rungs have to cross both rails once. + +These rungs will give Ink/Stitch all the information about the stitch angle and no counting of nodes is needed. + +### Satin Tools + +#### Convert Line to Satin Column + +If you want the satin column to be a line of equal width, there is a very fast method to create a satin column. + +Create a path. + +Make sure it is not a closed path, but has a start and an end. + +Set the stroke width to whatever you like your satin column to be. Then run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Convert Line to Satin Column`. + +And that's it. + +#### Cut Satin Column + +Sometimes you will need to break up your path into pieces. + +This can be done manually, but if you want to keep your settings you can use a specific satin tool: `Cut Satin Column`. + +To break up your column manually, select two nodes, one on each rail and click on `Break path at selected nodes`. Now you have to seperate the paths by hitting `Ctrl + Shift + K` and recombine your sub-paths with `Ctrl + K`. + +Using the satin tools will require two steps. First select your satin column and run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Commands > Attach commands to selected objects...` and enable `Satin cut point` before you click on `Apply`. Move the symbol to the exact point where you want the satin column to split up. It will split where the connector touches the rail. Then run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Cut Satin Column`. Please note, that in params you already need the satin column to be enabled for this to work. + +#### Flip Satin Column Rails + +`Flip Satin Column Rails` is a tool to help you plan your stitch path precisely. +A satin column which originally starts on the left rail and ends on the right, will start on the right rail and end on the left. +This might shorten connections between the previous and next stitch object. + +Select the satin column and run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Flip Satin Columns` + +#### Auto-Route Satin Columns + +Planing the order and connections of stitch objects can be very time consuming. +Therefore Ink/Stitch comes with a tool that will take away a lot of this work. + +`Auto-Route Satin Columns` will order your satin columns in logical stitching order. +It will create under-pathing and jump-stitches as necessary. +Single satin columns might also be split up to avoid jump stitches. +Resulting satins will retain all of the parameters you had set on the original satins. + +Select satin columns with all parameters set (underlay, etc.). + +Run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Auto-Route Satin Columns...` + +Enable desired options and click apply. + +You can even define a start and an end point for your ordered satin columns by attaching `Auto-route satin stitch starting` and `ending position` commands. + +If this went too fast for you, you might be interested into the visual commands tutorial. + +### Params & Underlay + +#### Params + +Let's have a closer look into the params dialogue and what it offers for satin columns. + +`Custom satin column` has to be enabled. + +Satin stitches pull the fabric together, resulting in a column narrower than you draw in Inkscape. +With the `Pull compensation` setting you can expand the satin column. +You’ll have to experiment how much compensation you need for your combination of fabric, thread, and stabilizer. + +Zig-zag spacing will define the density of your satin column. + +Well, now we talked much about the satin column itself. But a very important part is still missing, which is the underlay. +Ink/Stitch supports three kinds of underlay. +For wide columns or challenging fabrics, you can even use all three underlay types together. + +#### Center-Walk Underlay + +This is a row of running stitch down the center of the column and back. +This may be all you need for thin satin columns. +You can also use it as a base for more elaborate underlay. + +#### Contour Underlay + +This is a row of running stitch up one side of the column and back down the other. +The rows are set in from the edge of the column by the amount you specify. +For small or medium width satin, this may serve well enough by itself. + +#### Zig-Zag Underlay + +This is essentially a lower-density satin stitch sewn to the end of the column and back to the start. + + +### E-Stitch + +The biggest purpose for E-stitch is a simple but strong cover stitch for applique items. Mainly for baby cloths as their skin tends to be more sensitive. + +E-stitch is created just as a satin column. But in the params dialogue enable the E-stitch option and increase the zig-zag spacing. + +Underlay is not needed for this stitch type. + +If the points are facing the wrong way, just use the “flip satin column rails” tool as described before. + +---- ---- + +We hope you enjoyed this tutorial and got an overview about satin stitch types. +You might also want to watch our videos about stroke type stitches and fill stitches. + + +## Fill Stitches + +Fill stitch is used to fill big areas with a color. + +Ink/Stitch comes with two fill stitch types: manual and auto-fill. + +We will not show manual fill in this tutorial. +If you are interested in it, you can read more on our website. + +### Auto-Fill Path + +Auto-fill is the default method for generating fill stitches. + +Create a path with a fill color. +Shapes can also have holes, but should not consist of more than one section. + +If you need to fill a shape like the one on the right side, hit `Ctrl + Shift + K` to treat it as two seperate shapes. + +### Params + +Open the params dialogue and enable `Automatically routed fill stitching`. + +Set the stitch angle, while 0 is horizontal. You can also use negative values. + +Expand the shape before stitching. This compensates the pull effect and helps to avoid gaps between sections. + +Define the maximum fill stitch length. Stitches may be shorter at the end or start of a row. + +Set spacing between rows - and running stitch length. + +With `Skip last stitch in each row` you will save a hugh amount of stitches. +The last stitch in each row is quite close to the first stitch in the next row. +Skipping it decreases stitch count and density. + +Influence the output with the last setting; where you define, how many rows apart stitches will fall into the same column position. + +### Underlay + +Fill stitch areas also need an underlay. + +Switch to the `AutoFill Underlay` tab and enable `Underlay`. + +Here you will find the `Fill angle` setting again. + +By default it will be shifted for + 90 deg to the fill stitch. + +Prevent underlay from showing around the outside of the fill with `inset`. + +Define `max. stitch length` and `row spacing`, wich defaults to 3x the spacing of the top layer. + +### Define start and stop position + +In embroidery files you want to plan where stitching starts and ends. You can control the start and end position of a fill with visual commands. + +If you cannot follow the steps shown here, follow our visual commands tutorial. + +---- + +We hope you enjoyed this tutorial. +You might also want to watch our videos about stroke type stitches and satin columns. + +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) diff --git a/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/05-lettering-transcript.md b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/05-lettering-transcript.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..dac7df74d --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/05-lettering-transcript.md @@ -0,0 +1,37 @@ +--- +title: Transcript - 05 Lettering - Beginner Tutorial Series +permalink: /tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/05-lettering-transcript +last_modified_at: 2019-03-12 +language: en +image: "/assets/images/tutorials/video-preview-images/beginner-tutorial-series.png" + +toc: false + +exclude-from-tutorial-list: true +--- +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) + +## Welcome to the Ink/Stitch Beginner Tutorial Series + +**In this part we are going to look into the lettering tool.** + +In Ink/Stitch it is possible to write a multiline text, which will automatically be converted into an embroidery font. + +Run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Lettering` + +Being in a very early state the tool can handle only one font.

Commands which effect the entire design +2. Commands which effect the selected layer +3. Commands which influence selected objects + +### Design commands + +In `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Commands > Add commands ...` you will find two options. + +#### Stop position + +"Stop position" will define a point where your machine will jump to, before every stop command. +This allows for pushing the embroidery frame out towards the user, to make applique steps easier. + +#### Origin + +The Origin specifies the zero point for embroidery files. +Setting up origins is especially useful for people that have full access to the entire sewing field that their machine is capable of, regardless of what hoop they use. + +### Layer commands + +`Add Layer commands...` has only one option: + +#### Ignore Layer + +`Ignore Layer` can be used to ignore an entire layer when converting to an embroidery file. +This can be useful if you want to add extra information into the file, f.e. tutorial instructions - or if you temporarily want to exclude a part of your design. + +### Object commands + +`Attach commands to selected objects...` will add information to selected objects. + +#### Fill: Starting- and Ending Position + +For fill stitching we can define starting and ending positions. Select a fill object and enable `starting position for fill` and `ending position for fill`. +Click apply and move the symbols to the desired position. +The connectors endpoint is always in the middle of the object. The effect will be performed where the connector crosses the outline of the shape. + +#### Auto-Route Satin: Starting- and Ending Position + +As for fills you can also define start and end positions for auto-route satin. +* Select the first satin column and add the `auto-route starting position`-command. +* Select the last satin column and add the `auto-route ending position`-command. +* Move the symbol to the right place and run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Auto-route satin` + +#### Split Satin Column + +For satin columns there is also a split functionality. +This is useful if you want to split a satin column while keeping all settings that you have previously made while modifying the path. +* With the satin column selected add a `Split satin column`-command. +* Move the symbol and run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Satin Tools > Cut Satin Column` +This will split your satin column at the predefined position. + +#### Trim + +The `Trim`-command can be applied to any embroidery shape. +It will tell the machine to trim the thread after sewing this object. + +#### Stop + +The `Stop` or "Pause" command will cause the machine to move into the position which you have previously defined through the `stop position`-command. +And is therefor useful especially for applique designs. +It can be applied to any object as well. + +#### Ignore + +Objects with an `ignore`-command will be ignored in the embroidery output. + +--- + +It might happen though, that some machines will ignore certain commands like e.g. the trim command. +Not every machine is capable to follow these instructions. + +We hope this tutorial was useful for you and helps you to gain more control over the embroidery output. + +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) diff --git a/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/07-visualize-export-transcript.md b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/07-visualize-export-transcript.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..9f718df02 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/07-visualize-export-transcript.md @@ -0,0 +1,113 @@ +--- +title: Transcript - 07 Visualize and Export - Beginner Tutorial Series +permalink: /tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/07-visualize-export-transcript +last_modified_at: 2019-03-12 +language: en +image: "/assets/images/tutorials/video-preview-images/beginner-tutorial-series.png" + +toc: true + +exclude-from-tutorial-list: true +--- +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) + +## Welcome to the Ink/Stitch Beginner Tutorial Series + +**In this part we are going to learn how to display your design and finally save it into an embroidery format that your machine can read.** + +## Simulator + +Whenever you are running the params dialogue in Ink/Stitch you will see the simulator. +This is very important while planing your design, since you can visually see the changes as you make them. + +The simulator can also run without the params dialogue. In the customize tutorial we created a shortcut to open it with Ctrl+Shift+L, but this is a custom shortcut key and not available by default. +If you don't have the shortcut key set, open the simulator through `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Simulator`. + +- It will simulate selected objects, or - if none is selected - the whole design. +- You can speed up and slow down the simulation with arrow up and arrow down or by using the corresponding buttons. +- You can swith the playback to be backwards or forwards with arrow left or right. +- Pause and restart the animation with the space bar. +- Move the animation step by step with plus or minus. +- Restart the animation with `R`. +- You can also grab the slider and move it to an other position or jump to an specific point by entering a number. + You should pause the simulaton before doing so. + +During the animation you can see the current speed in the status bar, beside of the information if the current command is fe. a stitch, trim or stop command. + +When you are done, close the simulator with `Q`. + +## Print and realistic preview + +While the simulator is very useful, you sometimes will need to see a realistic preview of your design. This way you can get a better impression of your stitch length settings, etc. +In Ink/Stitch you will have access to a realistic preview through the print function. The print function will open in your default browser. + +Run `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Print`. + +The print sheet that you will see is meant to be used either by operator or customer. But before we look into these options we want to discover the realistic preview. + +Move your mouse over the embroidery image. On the bottom of the canvas you will see different options to scale the design. +You can also hit Ctrl and scroll the mouse-wheel to scale it up and down. With the left mouse button you can grab it and move it somewhere else. +`Fit` will scale the design to fit into the canvas. 100% will scale it to real size. Once you are satisfied with scaling and position you can apply the transforms to all other pages where the design is displayed. + +Finally we enable the `Realistic` checkbox. It may take a while before it is being displayed. + +Now let's have a look into the other settings in the print sheet. + +Go to settings. +First you will see basic page setup options. Depending on your country you will want to choose either `Letter` or `A4` paper format. +Then you have different layout options, depending on the purpose you want to use the print-out for. + +The operator detailed view comes with an other option, where you can define the size of the thumbnails through a slider. + +In the branding tab you can change the page header logo. And enter your contact information which will be displayed in the page footer. + +Open the estimated time tab. Here you can specify information about your machine and workflow to roughly calculate the time that will be needed to stitch out the design. +You might not want this information to be displayed on every layout type. Disable those, where it shouldn't appear. + +In the design tab you can change the thread palette. If you used palettes while editing your design in Inkscape, the print preview will already use these colors. In other cases or if you want to change the displayed thread palette you can edit the setting here. All colors in the design will be recalculated and previous changes will be lost. + +Page Setup, Branding and Estimated Time settings can be saved as defaults and be used for every new design. + +Close the settings dialogue and have a look to the page header. + +You will see fields indicating that you can enter custom text. So you can define a title for this particular design, enter the clients name and purchase order. +On detailed views you can also change the thread and color name manually. +The operator detailed view also has a field for custom notes for each thread. + +When you are done with all settings use the print button. You can print it with your printer, but in most cases you would want to print to PDF, so you can send the PDF-file to your customer or operator. + +When everything is done, click on the close button to regain access to Inkscape, which has been locked while you were editing the print preview. +All settings you've made in the print preview will be saved into the SVG file, so you don't have to do everything twice in case you want to change your design. + +## Embroider ... + +Embroider is an older function which has been very important before the simulator existed. With the new functionality you will rarely be using it. But still there might be possible usecases. +* Open `Extensions > Ink/Stitch > English > Embroider` +The dialogue comes with a few options. You will want to set the output file format to one, that your machine can read. If you leave `Directory` empty, the output file will be saved in the Inkscape's extensions directory. You might want to change this. Enter a path. +When you hit `Apply` Ink/Stitch will perform two actions: +1. It will save an embroidery file on your computer +2. It will display the output in Inkscape - while hiding all other layers if the option was enabled in the embroider dialogue. + +Now you can inspect and modify the output in Inkscape. The so newly created path is a stroke with manual stitch placement enabled. + +## Save file ... + +A more comfortable way to export to an embroidery file is to use the `File > Save as...` export function. +Here you can choose the file format for your machine. All file format names start with Ink/Stitch, so you can easily find them in the list. +Enter the filename and click on `Save`. +Don't forget to also save your design in the SVG file format, just in case you want to perform changes at a later time. + +## Import + +You can also open embroidery files with Ink/Stitch. +Just right click on the file in your file browser and choose `Open with > Inkscape`. + +An other possibility would be to open Inkscape and go to `File > Open...`, choose your file in the dialgoue and click on `Open`. + +Imported embroidery files will be displayed as a stroke in manual stitch mode. +For certain file formats like `dst` colors may vary from your expectations, because they cannot save color information. + +We hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Now you have seen all the Ink/Stitch functions. +In the next video we will demonstrate a typical workflow and put all the pieces together. + +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) diff --git a/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/08-workflow-transcript.md b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/08-workflow-transcript.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..c2e6bfcfa --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-tutorial-series-transcripts/08-workflow-transcript.md @@ -0,0 +1,102 @@ +--- +title: Transcript - 08 Workflow - Beginner Tutorial Series +permalink: /tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/08-workflow-transcript +last_modified_at: 2019-03-12 +language: en +image: "/assets/images/tutorials/video-preview-images/beginner-tutorial-series.png" + +toc: true + +exclude-from-tutorial-list: true +--- +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) + +## Welcome to the Ink/Stitch beginner tutorial series. + +**In this part we are going to have a look at the Ink/Stitch workflow.** + +It includes the following steps, without being too strongly attached to this exact order. + +Quiet a few of the shortcut keys used in this tutorial are customly set. Watch the customize video to learn how to establish them. + +## Create a Vector Image + +The first thing to do is to create a vector image. +You could also use existing images. If you have an PNG-image you could even trace it through 'Path > Trace Bitmap'. + +For a brief demonstration we will create the image by ourselves. + +To create lines you can either use the pencil tool, which can be activated with 'P' - or the beziér tool enabled with 'B'. +You can also use shapes such as the square or the circle. Convert them to a path with 'Shift + Control + C' or the corresponding symbol in node editor mode. + +Fill bounded areas with help of the fill tool. The shortcut key for this is 'U'. + +If you installed the Addons you will have color palettes available. Set the fill color by clicking on them. The stroke color can be change with 'Shift + Click'. + +## Convert to Embroidery Vectors + +Now that the image is done, you should save a copy into an other layer and hide the first one (we skipped this step here). + +The next step will be to convert the lines in such way, that Ink/Stitch will understand how it should be sewn out. + +At this point we assume that you know how to create satin columns, fills and running stitches. If not, have a look at the corresponding videos. + +Set the params as you like and don't forget to use underlay. + +## Plan stitch order + +Plan your stitch order carefully. It will have a lot of impact on the quality of your design. + +While planning the stitch order you try to avoid jump stitches and also color changes. + +You don't want to change colors all the time while stitching out the design. + +Run the simulator to see if you might need to adjust the direction of some objects. + +You can also see the direction through the red sparks when in node editor mode. We have explained them in the customize video. + +Change the direction through `Path > Reverse` or use a custom shortcut key. + +Ink/Stitch will stitch objects in exactly the order they appear in your SVG document, from lowest to highest in stacking order. +If the distance between two objects is long, Ink/Stitch will add a jump-stitch between them automatically. +It uses the color of the object to determine thread color, so changes in color from one object to the next will result in a thread-change instruction being added to the embroidery output file. + +We need to use the objects panel. + +We recommend to make heavy use of layers and groups at this point. This will help a lot while reordering objects. + +Create a group of objects with 'Ctrl + G' and move through the objects in the desired order, while pushing the next object in line to the bottom of the group. + +## Attach commands + +Attach commands to give Ink/Stitch additional information. + +Trims, Stops, Fill start- and ending points are just some of the options. Watch our visual commands video to get more information. + +## Visualize + +During the whole process you were already running visualizations through the params dialogue. + +Use the simulator as standalone or even the print preview to get an impression on how the design will look in the end. + +Most of the time the simulator will do the job just fine. But for fill stitches the print preview is very helpful, f.e. in matter of stitch length and angle. + +## Save Embroidery File + +Once you are satisfied with the outcome, save the file to your disk. + +Choose the file format that your machine can read. + +Don't forget to also save the file in the svg file format, just in case you want to improve your design at a later time. + +## Test Sew + +Transfer the file to your machine. + +Perform a test sew with preferably the same fabric that you are planing to use. + +The fabric will have influence on the outcome of the design in this way that you most likely will have to adjust your design here and there. + +Follow this routine until you are happy and ready to embroider on your best piece of fabric in your house ;) + +[← Back](/tutorials/resources/beginner-video-tutorials/) diff --git a/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-video-tutorial-series.md b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-video-tutorial-series.md index f7bed17dd..e33f70c09 100644 --- a/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-video-tutorial-series.md +++ b/collections/_tutorial/en/beginner-video-tutorial-series.md @@ -16,27 +16,173 @@ toc: true --- ##
