What are your thoughts on auto-digitizing Vector files? :) Check out our first video on Auto vs Manual Digitizing here: th-cam.com/video/1fo8LRTt6ys/w-d-xo.html
Whist I agree that for many files manually digitising is a good way to go vector I find that there are many instances where vector files can speed up the digitising process. Many home embroideries also use die cutting machines and are used to using svg vector files to cut paper. They also have access to software that is much cheaper than Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw to alter these files. It is perfectly possible to split these files in this software to remove the overlapping areas before importing to the embroidery software. People who use die cutting software are used to adding bleed lines around images for print and cut which is similar to stitch compensation. I use Silhouette Studio Business Edition to create and export SVG files. I use Premier+ 2 Ultra as my digitising software which allows you to remove the overlap layers on import and adjust the stitch compensation, direction of fill stitches and the start and end points of designs. Many paper crafting suppliers now offer svg versions of their metal dies and their craft stamps, which can be a good starting point for embroideries, especially intricate Redwork designs (check their ‘Angel’ policies for copyright before using these files).
I tried this feature and OMG a game changer for me. I just have one question? If you use a font that is a cursive script how do you make it a clean weld in the SVG file. I tried remove stitch angles and weld but it still is not connected correctly in SVG file. Thank you!
I can tell you from experience in the printing industry. Designers don't think about printing either. Its all digital and rgb conversions. Such a mess half the time.

I try to watch most of your videos because I have trauma with Digitizing; thank you so much for teaching.
