appreciate it!

Thanks for the love! I just gotta work harder to make more videos! haha

thanks for watching!

thanks for watching!

I'm so happy you learn something!!

thanks for watching!

hi, thank you! I'm not sure if I'm thinking about the same thing, but I believe it's automatic. I hold the spacebar while clicking my mouse and dragging to pan around the image

Thanks so much for watching! I was hesitant to get into embroidery for a long time because of the high startup costs, but I've been lucky enough for the machine to pay for itself! I started with the Brother PE 800 ($500 at the time), Stitch Artist Level 1 ($170) and maybe about $150 worth of materials between different types of stabilizer, threads and fabrics to begin with. It definitely takes a lot of time and practice to really get going, but that's why I'm making these tutorial videos! It can be hard to find good resources and I want to share what I've learned from my trial and error.

@@stitchbackstories Merci bcp! Please keep it up! Your videos are incredibly illuminating to the craft

Thank you so much! I believe this design took about 10 minutes on my brother NQ1600e. It can be faster or slower depending on your machine

@@stitchbackstories Thanks for replying! Wow~ that's so fast! 💪

This particular crewneck from Comfort Colors is holding up really well! However, I've had issues with denser designs on some t-shirts curling in the wash. I've been wanting to do a test of different settings to see what is affecting the curling the most, but here are some things I've heard from others: Increasing underlay density, decreasing overall density, don't wash with high heat (cotton shirts will shrink while polyester thread does not), and trying different types of stabilizer. I'll definitely make a video if I do run the different tests!

You can set up a simple box shape with a run stitch in your digitizing software

hi! I don't like making designs bigger than 4"x4" typically, but my biggest hoop size is 6"x10"

you can't sell any designs that are not your own

You can't use other people's art or licensed art to digitize and sell. This is just something i'm doing for fun. However, any embroidery art I do sell is from my original art. :)

@@stitchbackstories I know there are sites that do sell clipart especially for digitisers as I was told two of them as the well known person I asked gave those names to me, they use these sites for designs they digitise and sell. Most do not but there’s got to be more… just so hard to find and read through each one’s terms. I guess I just need to brush up on my arting skills, I used to draw a lot when I was younger! Seems to have dropped off my abilities list like a lot of things. Or I could pay an artist to create for me maybe from my ideas/sketches… I know a few artists!

@@elbanti I think if I were looking for art to digitize, I would either pay an artist, use stock art from Adobe Stock or purchase from a service like Fiver. Best of luck!

@@stitchbackstories thanks!

can you specify the time stamp to what you are referring to?

I don't have a course, but I have a playlist that goes more step-by-step on all the stitches I use to digitize!

@@stitchbackstories ok cool , do you do lessons at all?
