For those looking for software to be able to create leather patterns and stitching holes, I have made a how to with Affinity Design 2. Any questions just go ahead and leave them in the comments. Thank you for your support! Enjoy. :)
This video isn't getting enough credit. This is by far one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. This is seriously a game changer for me and my small business.
Awesome! so glad that it will help your business! I was thrilled when I finally figured out how to do it. I knew I had to share this information. I hope the video gets more popular, so many variables involved in why a video gets exposure. Thank you for your kind and inspiring comment!
Thank you so much, Johnnyc! I’m thrilled to hear that you found the video helpful. I created it specifically for people like you who are looking for detailed guides on creating stitching holes in Affinity Design. Your supportive comment means a lot to me and motivates me to keep sharing useful content. Thanks again!
This is exactly I was looking for. Adobe needed a plug in to individualize the stitch holes which the owner of the laser cutter didn’t have. Affinity is my go to software personally. I didn’t even consider the holes needing to be balanced! Next time I get access to the laser cutter I can have my files premade in software I own. Thank you so much! Subscribed!
I love to hear that TransAmCE! This is why I love making a video like this. I know figuring out how to make stitching holes in Affinity help me and I had to share the information. Thank you for the great comment and support! Enjoy!
I understand you balanced the spacing of the holes, but it is manipluating hole spacing to create the balance. The only way to have precise spacing is to have a stiching path in length that is a multiple of the hole spacing. How close or far off has it been to the desired stitch spacing? For cutting holes with a laser, long as it looks good, not a problem, with stiching irons close may not work. I have been using Fusion360 and doing everything mathmatically, pain to do. This software and the price looks intriguing, thanks
Yes, absolutely. As you said, it works because it is subtle. It does get tricky when you have to create holes on a bag and then match the holes to a gusset. When I do this, I use a different but similar technique without using the balance option. I cut the stitch line into parts and then mirror them to the other side. Your concept of using mathematics is definitely the most precise option. I’ve done this using multiples of 4mm because I prefer that type of stitching iron. I started using the method in this video based on similar findings. It is easier and saves time. I often find myself spending hours behind the computer because I’m too lazy to cut and thong on my own. The laser is so precise as well. :)
your stroke width is in mm, i can't seem to convert into mm even when i go to document set-up , also as soon as i type in (.35mm )like you did it convert to 1pt... instead of .35mm
when you type in mm it will convert to pt but it will put the pt that represent the amount of mm you type in. It converts it but the measurements is what you typed in. But what will help you I think is, if you have rulers on, look at where the rulers intersect on the top corner the tool bar. It will show what measurement type you are set to. Right click on that and you will be able to choose what measurements you want to use. Let me know if that works for you.
@@baronleathercraft didnt work for me! i followed step by step the video and right clicking at the toolbar but nothing seems to work . im using affinity 2 . i wonder why your metrics automatically show ...while my mm is being converted into pt lol btw im not experienced, im only following along!
@@Zuki.. Lets keep trying, First I want to make sure I am guiding you to the right place to change the metrics. in the corner between the rulers: drive.google.com/file/d/1hQkx7mJwAIre0J5irYXacsLfnxJn7C0T/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1fsBdk__P2sifTUb7eumVQK7k3GT8cx1B/view?usp=sharing I created these images for you. The one with the arrow shows you were to right click and the other shows you what happens when you click on it.
@baronleathercraft ..im able to click the top left corner onto the options ..its actually already set to inches but its still functioning as if im using the pt metric!
I assume you mean to print it out on paper since I mostly use a laser engraver. To print it out on paper it is best to create the pattern on a 8 1/2 x 11 canvas so it will fit on a single sheet of paper. Make sure you print a full size, in other words don't scale your image to fit on the paper. If the pattern is larger then a 8 1/2 x 11 I save it as a .PDF file and then there is a way to create multiple pages that can be stitched together. Here is a great video that can help guide you. Plus you can find other videos on the same topic. I hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/qf_UVm4NdIU/w-d-xo.html
