BRO IM SOMEONE FROM 8 YEARS IN THE FUTURE. I CAME BACK TO TELL YOU YOU'RE A GOAT!
WAIT, IT STILL WORKS?! I was gonna ask if there was an updated version
@Ryan Baudisch It is :( for 30 days. I wonder if you can delete it then download it again? if you do it, lmk!
@Ryan Baudisch it's $75
@@stephsdiys8317 or buy it for $75
Bro I'm someone from a year in the future. I came back to tell you this comment was just as funny as you thought it was. Great job!
This was fantastic. After hours of using GIMP, Inkscape, and a dozen and a half "free" converter sites and softwares, this solved my problem in less than a minute. Major props.
This is genuinely the most incredible thing I've seen in a while when it comes to tutorials
I am crying tears of joy, bless you so much for making this! It's the easiest I've found so far!!
I have been digitizing since 1999 - auto digitizing is nothing more than a pipe dream - ask any experienced digitizer about auto digitizing and you will get the same reply.
There are several short comings with auto digitizing - you will never get a complex artwork having more than 2 overlapping colors to work - you can waste as much time as you want adjusting the colors, cleaning the design.
Another major flaw being that there is NO overlapping in auto digitizing and as soon as you sew the design you will see the fabric showing through where the 2 colors meet.
Stop wasting your time and money running after this pipe dream, invest in a good digitizing software and learn to digitize, make sure that you have a machine to run your designs, because that is where you really learn how the thread interacts with the fabric.
I don't know if my comment will be published, but this is an honest and true response.
+Indian Digitizer Could you suggest a good digitizing software? I have been wanting a good one that doesn't fall short!
+Cheryl York - I have tried many software over the years, some people swear by Pulse and some by Wilcom - I have been using Wilcom, because of its small learning curve and ease to create & revise a design.
There are some free software out there as well, but I haven't really tried them out - perhaps you should before buying any software.
Before finally deciding on a software it's best to try it and also sample the designs on your own machine, be comfortable with it.
Those are my 2 cents - hope I have been helpful.
Cheerios :)
This does work...to a certain extent. Basically you have to really know what your doing. The logo cannot be overly complicated either. If its just a simple logo like the one MrJayBusch is doing it works pretty well. I myself work at a company that sells hats, embroiders hats, and charges 50 dollars for digitizing images. (im sure you all know who I'm talking about as my workplace)
There is a comment here by Indian Digitizer. Everything he is saying is accurate. however, if your image is relatively basic, like literally just 2 colors and no overlap, this works. If u have a more complex image, get it professionally digitized.
Also, with Sewart, there are tiny minuscule differences when cleaning the image that I noticed that most people wouldn't see. The reason I noticed is like Indian Digitizer mentioned, different thread interferes differently with different fabrics. I know the maximum density to use, the maximum stitches, what will work and what will fail, most people dont. Customers come to me with their auto digitized logos, I plug it into the machine, I will get a result of over 80000, where i have to explain to the customer, if i do this, i will kill my embroidery machine.
Not to mention, the stitch pattern is extremely bizarre in auto digitizing. The machine jumps back and forth to a bunch of different locations on the logo, which can ultimately damage the machine if not used with caution. Typically, with a properly digitized image, the first stitches will outline the interior and exterior of whatever it is your stitching, then fill in the details, this makes it more rigid, auto digitizing does this horribly. I'm speaking as a person who uses this machine everyday. I'm not a specialist at digitizing, but i am expert at stitching hats.
Do yourselves a favor, get it digitized if you want a proper result. This is not an industry that can be taken over by robots.
@@IndianDigitizerhey brother, i have been into digitizing for something over a decade which still makes U my senior,
Just wanted a advice on how do U reach out to clients in india, or do U accept international because I have been making designs in middle east and now I want to enter international market, though not really sure on how to do it
Any advice or help would be really appreciated
Expert tutorial, very clear and helped immensely. Nice work!
BOY I WATCHED MORE THEN 80 VIDEOS ON HOW TO MAKE A DESIGN AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I UNDERSTAND YOU’RE LITERALLY A HERO👏👏👏👏
i used this a while back....recently just watched again because i needed to do it for a new file (years later) still the best solution. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Hi, Brandon here from the year 2023. THIS METHOD STILL VERY MUCH WORKS!!!! Thank you
Did you use Mac?
@tystie916 no. A Windows computer
Thanks so much for this video!! I never thought it would be so easy to convert my own designs to embroidery files!
please ,sir if you this apps name told me then vary helpfull
OMG!! I've been searching high and low for this cannot thank you enough !
This is awesome!!! Thank you so much for this video. Finally was able to convert my logo jpeg file to pes without having to pay. I will definitely upgrade once the demo period is up.
This was super helpful for a basic design conversion. Thank you most kindly! 😄
Omg thank you so much! I've been watching a lot of useless videos, and finllay a found a simple one!!
Thank you for the video. I have used your information and believe the software is just what you demonstrated. I made two different shapes on my computer and both came out perfectly.
10 years later bro and you still a goat for this video man much respect you just made my passion so much easier
Did you use Mac?
you are the best, i was looking for this solutuon for 2 hours! thank you very very much
Thank you!!!!! This was extremely helpful and easy to follow tutorial. My images came out beautifully embroidered.
Great video Jay. Very good quality. Clear, simple instructions with great pronunciation. You look very comfortable in front of the camera.
OMG GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL!!!! I work at an embroadary shop and I want to do something for my boyfriend and design something but I don't wan to pay someone to digitize it so this is ssoooo helpful! THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much man! This just saved me $40!
You are a self-less Genius! Thank you so much
Thank you so much! I'm a total beginner and was clueless! Glad to have found your video!
Somehow this tutorial still works 10 years later. Thanks :)
Thanks Jay for the information. I will let you know the outcome of my Embroidery.
OMG!!! You just saved me so much time and crying (and chocolate). Thank you!!
Thank you for this SUPER, easy to follow, information. So many computer tutorials are so small that you can't tell what they're doing. Yo1ur's is GREAT
Thank you for making this video short and to the point!
To those of you saying this program sucks, Obviously your just trying to advertise and sell your own program.
Because i find this free demo is excellent and it is my first time using this program had a few hiccups but not bad and it works great if you know what your doing. Thanks for the Video
thanks so much for doing this. very simple and clear.
Thank you for this video. It WORKED I was a le to digitize my own logo and create a patch. AWESOME tip....new fan....
Thank you Mr Jay, what a great video, so clear and easy to follow.
When I do this, I always wind up with a insanely huge stitch count file. Any better option for making 4x4 designs?
Hey Brother, I used this video to convert a fairly complex logo for a hat embroidery to help promote my channel. Unfortunately, the logo was a little too complicated and the embroidery job was a mess. All-in-all it was only a $50 mistake (spent more on a bad night out) but I thought I'd share for anyone that is worried about complexity. Having said that, the text wasn't so bad. So if you guys are are looking for simple, I think this will do the job just fine. Either way, it was worth the gamble for me to learn. Still appreciate the video! Cheers. I'll be posting a video on my experience in general, for anyone interested.
Thanks so so much bud, you are a total legend. Cant wait to watch all your vids👍 A big thank you from Sunny South Africa
OMG!!! It worked!!!! You saved me a small fortune by not having to buy overpriced work uniforms!!! I literally made my own identical uniform 1/4 the price!!!! You’re doing God’s work on here, Sir!!!
BAM. Thank you very much. A donation has been sent. If you are ever in Seattle, I'm buying you a beer too.
Thank you for this tutorial as it really helped me! My only question is that I have a new Brother SE400 with a 4"x4" hoop. Now I understand this converts to 100mmx100mm. At what point...and how do I size the final image? Do I need to size the image before I use SewArt? Or can I do this within the program? Thanks!
I have an se400 that I just got too! did you get your answer? cause I'd like to get the program if it does...please let me know?!!
You can change the size in the program under the button image
Thank you so very much love not only your wonderful video which is easy to understand very clear. But you have a nice voice. Thank you!
Yes! Thank you! I finally have a exp file my Bernina will read! Appreciate you sharing this.
I've downloaded CorelDraw, etc etc etc but never found a way to convert to exp.
This was dead simple. 🙂
If the software need to count the stitch, so do we need to output the png file size into ACTUAL SIZE on the shirt? Does the dpi of the file (72dpi or 300dpi) affect the result? Thanks for sharing!
Did you figure this out?
@@xXTR4IRSOF7 Sorry... no idea at all, nobody answer and we just find another agent that could print everything by themself with just providing our vector logo file...
@@goh9480 No worries thanks for the reply. I ended up just finding a company to do it online for way cheaper than local companies. Cheers.
Hello! Thank you so much for this tutorial it's helped me a lot. However every once in a while the file I make on Sewart is too large for my PE500 to recognize. Do you have any tips on how I can shrink the file without having to redo that whole process again?
Did you ever find out how?
Thanks for the video,vital for all designers and embroidery machine users
You are #TouchingLives with this 💪🏽
I hope you get tons of reviews that pay you for years to come...
I have a question... how do you determine size? I have some that are 4x4 inches and some that are 1.5x1.5 inches.
Okay, you click on options, you click on units then you click on imperial (That will show you inches instead of cm or mm). Then you go over to the Resize image icon click on that. You will get a reading of your file. If you have space to trim your file? You click on the Crop icon to trim the design to your liking. The Undo icon can reset any mistakes you made.
The installation process did not work for mac. Are there some files missing? And are they in the right format?
same here... Mac does not support the file..
They don't have a Mac compatible version - it says mac on the site, but it's assuming you're going to use Wine or some other emulation program. You'll have to use something else.
Wow Jay... Thank you so much!
This was an awesome and clear video!
Oh why did I not find your video before. So many thanks for a great tutorial. Love the tool now!
thx it worked, doing some logos for a client :P
I love you. Thank you so much. XD
Dude you saved my life I was about to give up and return my machine haha so you swooped in at the perfect time
thank you so much!! I have been looking for something just like this!!
does the size of the file matter? cause if u save it as a big file will it be stitched big also?
Cory Mills MrJayBusch Same question here!
+Cory Mills I am wondering this too?
+Cory Mills +Robson Robsen +Jeff Barry It does. The bigger the image,
the bigger the digitized file. There is a button (that's 3 buttons to
the left of the wizard button he was using in the video) that looks like a square with 4 blue arrows at its corners, it lets you resize the image.
+Cory Mills depending on stitch density, your typical embroidery on a shirt or hat should be much more than 3000 stitches.
actually most embroidery machines can down size the art or logo or grow it. it's in the program of all embroidery machines lol
Hi, I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I am trying to convert a png file that has basically 2 colors in the original. When I go through the wizard and do the auto image button and click on set colors I get 150+ colors. The background is white like yours, however it turns it to gray. Do you have any suggestions for me? I have tried most of the combinations.
Sandra Hart I am having the same problem!
+Sandra Hart Did anyone ever answer this question for you? Having the same problem:(
No, nobody ever answered it for me.
+Sandra Hart just remember that it doesn't really matter what color the file thinks it has. As long as all of one color is the same, when it says to put in the thread for that color, you put in whatever thread you want. The sewing machine has no idea you didn't put in grey thread if you really want white. You can use this information to differentiate between two similar colors. On your image, if you have light and dark green, and the wizard is having a hard time separating them cleanly, just change the light green to bright orange. Then when you put the thread in, and it asks for bright orange, just put in your light green thread. :)
+Sandra Hart you can also merge colors if you only have two. It's been so long, I can't remember what it was called, but there is a way to select individual colors and merge them together until you get the 150 down to two. I used my free trial, but I'm thinking of buying now that I need it again. If I do buy it I'll tell you what it was called.. but it IS there!!
Thank you for making this video! It was so helpful!
Bruh i have to thank you from the bottom of my heart this was so clutch
hi Jay! any chances that get that file in DTS?
Pablo Roldan it's dst. file 😂
dot goes on the left side also @Debojyoti Ghosh xD
Hey I was hoping you might have some input with a problem I keep running into. I have been trying to use all black graphics, and when I go through the wizard I always select the fewest amount of colors possible, but when I try to sew "all colors" it generates over 200 blacks/whites/grays. Is this normal? I have to go through and delete every single gray and white. I hate this, Is there a way around all of that??? Thank you for any feedback with this~
I'm having the same problem.
Did anyone reply to this? I am having the same issue and I only have three colors.
try using a png file if you can it might help
You know what? You just saved my life, time, and money. Rather than paying for a software, I'm just gonna pay you for that tip
Thank you! I have been looking for a. Easy to use software and tutorial. I will give it a try!!! Thank you!
how do i get this program for a mac?
I got it working do you still need help?
@@FeedZeus I need help how can I run on Mac?
RedWard Design & Marketing Ward just subscribe and message me I’ll help you out
@@FeedZeus how were you able to get it on mac?
Great video! Do you know if the standard .dstfile works with the lids stores?
yes it does
yup, i work there
what kind of format does lids want the pic as jpeg or any fomate is fine?
Dst
the logo wont come out stupid right? because i dont want to spend $50 thats alot
This is so great. When I brought it to Lids it wasn't a 100% match but the guy helped me adjust it a bit and it turned out well. Then I got the new DST file from them. You're awesome dude, thank you so much, saved me $50!
hey im wanting to take my file to lids as well, i cant seam to turn it into a DST file. how did you do it?
luis moreno I forget which program it was but I downloaded a free 30 day trial of a stitching/sewing design program online and probably converted it to DST or something along those lines. Good luck!
2021 and this worked perfectly, true hero
When I save as BMP I don't get any further option to convert, it just saves.
Gareth Owen me too! So confusing I just want to save as pes🤬
Yeah, how do you get the Save Embroidery File window?
If you just click on the disk icon it just saves automatically. Next to the disk icon is another disk icon with a pencil and eraser That is the Save As option. You can get plenty of options to how to save your file and and even rename your file you are saving.
i have a simple 2 color logo that has 34 stops - i dont understand
Very Informative , clear tutorial Thanks Roger
Eventually I got this to work for me. Had to make definitely sure that I had good quality pictures with no blurring and such. My only remaining problem is that, though the pattern looks all tight and together in the picture, usually things like borders and such end up about 1/16-18th of an inch away from the actual image, which makes for some annoying gaps. Oh well, it's still better than ridiculous amounts that other software cost.
THAT'S what I'm talking about!
Hi Where do i find the download links?
Like!
Do you know how to open it on mac? I’ve tried numerous emulator and still the same problem 🥺
Worked like a charm. Great program. Thanks for the help!!!!
This worked perfect and saved me $190!! Thanks 😃
Awesome.. but not for macs that I can find.
+Lisa Hinson Has anyone found one for macs? I'm still looking
+Brandon Reversion this works on MAC!! just use program PlayonMac and install program through PlayonMac. Ive been using it on my iMac with no issues!!!
+Brandon Reierson just get a program like wine to run a windows program.
it works fine but how do I save it to the flash drive to get it to show on the computer at lids
you ever get it to work? I wanna do the same.
Hello,
Great informative videos. You present the information in a very clear manner. I have learned the general steps to getting a design to transfer to my Brother PE770 which is great. I am trying to fine tune the design but keep running into some issues.
No matter how clear the image appears on the program along with ample spacing between either lines or lettering, at some point through the stitch job - part of the design gets entirely too close to each other and the lines blend in. I can send you pictures for examples but I was wondering if you had any advice.
Also, It seems like I get better, sharper stitched results when the image is a bigger dimension. When I want a logo about 4 inches wide and 3 inches tall... the lettering becomes a mess and not very easy to read. Again, any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time!
Thank you kindly... I just used it, and it works great!...Thankyou !
how did you get it right? When I get to the machine the saved files are not showing
If you have a home embroidery machine and don't really care about the quality this is fine with a very very basic design. There is nothing on the market today that does a good job for an embroidery house. No program understands if you want satin stitches fills, what type of underlay etc... if you are too cheap to send it to a digitizer, send it to china and have them make a .dst file. It might cost you $10. Spend the $ and get good quality. No commercial embroidery house will take a file made with this program
I'm a home sewer and have never digitised before. I have grandkids I want to create for, but was paying regularly for small images to sew for them. For me, this package looks to offer everything I could need, but most importantly its so simple, that I know from the start that I'll be able to use it and don't need any advanced knowledge to clean up images etc. Not everyone is doing things 'on the cheap', they just need a useable program that helps them produce the images they want to use quickly. Don't assume that we don't care about quality, thats just patronising. But neither is it cost efficient to pay for a professional package that we either can't use - that doesn't make sense for me and is just like taking a hammer to crack a nut.
1 Company I Use Is
Fixedpricedigitizing.us ?
15.00 Left Pocket 40.00 For Jacket Back. Any File.
DST AND EMB Is What I Get.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if it were this easy! Making an outstanding logo requires knowledge of digitizing and if there are fonts involved........even more complicated. A beginner with something VERY simplistic, MIGHT find this helpful, but satisfaction would not last very long.........the more you embroider, the more you want to know.......this would not satisfy the really serious individual.
but it is a place for a beginner to start....
Ok, so we get it. You're a pro. You do this full time.
Here's the dealee-o.
Eventually...
You.
Will.
Stop.
Either you pass on, you retire, you just get bored and you stop. This is something for someone like me (a beginner plushie maker who just purchased her emroidery machine and wants to make her own eyes and faces for plushies!) or anybody else, for that matter. Ok, yeah, it's not perfect, but y'know what? Who cares! Eventually YOU WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED and we all gotta start *SOMEWHERE*. Unless you got a YT video showing how to do this without charging up the ass for your knowledge, GO STUFF IT and let us noobs learn in our own ways!
That is so cool! Thanks so much for that information. I have a question though: How do you make an embroidery file from a picture you draw and it's just the drawing? How do you add color to it?
Jay, you are the man! Thanks for the video!
There are too many variables to consider when stitching...underlays, type of fills, corners, density, jumps/cuts, bordering and so on. Any converting program won't make a good job when being given a little bit more complicated design than the one above. I have 10 years of experience with Wilcom, and even if his converting program is better than this one, is still not good.
So what would u suggest we use to do it ourselves.....or what do the pros use to do it????
GangTrippyTV Whoever is serious about this job makes the digitizing work manually with different programs (I use Wilcom). Letters, edges, sequences, trims, satin fills, tatami fills, runs, angles of stitching, starts/ends is something a converting program doesn't really know how to do...
been trying to get my hands on some wilcom, stuck on artista v4 until i can find a deal lol
Even tho you think you know what you are talking about. all of the options above you are talking about can be edited once the image has been digitized. So everything you're talking about can be "fixed"
Maybe, just maybe the guys on here doesn't want to pay 50 dollars (or whatever you take per hour) for something that can be done automatically and almost as good. i'm sorry you used a lot of time on getting your degree. But automation takes over everything. This is free, and can be done on a lot of images. only thing that can fuck up is small imperfections. but if you are doing this as a hobbyist then that doesn't really matter, i feel like this is more about you being scared of the future of your job.
So it's free.... for 30 days..... so it's not free? lol... title is entirely misleading...
It is still only 75.00 that is way cheaper than any other digitizing software.
evelyn knowles I agree with you, and the software does seem rather good for the price, but the title still is irritating.. title should be: "NEVER PAY FOR EMBROIDERY FILES AGAIN...until 30 days have past" but I guess that wouldnt have gotten as many views.. :P
stop bitching
th-cam.com/video/-8QeWSwq_iI/w-d-xo.html
It's a flat out lie of a headline.
Thanks for the info, took me (and its not even my embroidery machine) as long as the video played to be able to use the software. I run a photography business so was great to create the logo in photoshop, then throw it into sewart and save. At $75USD for the software, its worth registering, compared to the more expensive software.
This program is fantastic. I used it many times to convert pictures. It does need some user leaning.
The program is great. ...but I see a lot of question about how to save it on a jump drive....I figured it out...after you followed all the steps above it changes when go to save the file...go to save as and save it to the removable disk then press save next go to save file as PES....this is the file your sewing machines use to upload. ...but no you have to have the jump drive from your sew machine....a regular jump drive don't work......I have really enjoyed this program♥♥♥♥
Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful information :)
thank you so much for this as a beginner i deffinitely needed something pretty straight forward.
It is auto digitizing not recommended. quality is bad
You have to hire a embroidery digitizer.
I'm about to download and TEST this, but if this works, THANK YOU!!!
Excellent. Thanks for the info about this program and the tutorial.
Bought it and am so excited to use it!
thank you very much for sharing! it still works, great tip!
Do I have to reduce the size of the logo to the size it will be embroidered to in illustrator first?
Thank you - I know that you created this years ago but I have only just found it - you are a star ****
I’m curious to see if you were able to downsize your file to fit your hoop? In older comments, the question was asked how to scale it down but the question was never answered, or if it was, I must’ve skipped it
Worked like a charm...Thanks MrJay
hi jay I was wondering how you change sizing of the file to make a larger finish product and also how to you program so you can make several images on 1 page(sheet)
OMG you made that look so simple. Thank you so much for this :)
Thank you so much. I am new to this and have played with it for a few days now and still have not been able to get it right until now! Your video was exactly what I was needing. Thank you so much!
