So glad i found these videos. I've had the software for at least five years and have learned more from you in these first three videos than in the last five years.
Definitely! I'm sorry for the down time, I've not had as much time as I would have liked to work on videos over the past couple of months, but it's always in the back of my mind! There will be more coming soon, never fear!
No worries at all, what you’ve posted so far has been such a huge help so thank you! I wondered if I could pick your brain, I’m trying to do an image and have followed your video but for some reason when I click split outline, it says ‘the polygon to be split crosses itself. Edit the polygons so that the lines do not cross’ ahh ide what I’m doing wrong? Thank you
@@elainageorgiou1347 Thank you so much! No problem at all! So, it's just like the software is saying. There can't be any place where the lines that your creating cross over, It has to be one continuous outline. You just have to keep a mental note of the lines you're making and make sure you don't overlap them. Hope that makes some sense! Good luck
Hey! Thank you so much! I will do! I've been meaning to for quite a while now, however we're currently working on a new website that has taken up all of my time. As soon as that launches, a new video will follow!
Brother needs you to build online videos which can be followed along by actually working on the screen of their own computer. What is given with the software is the small part in the book which you can follow along with. It would be great if these were in a handy book or something which would allow new users to get hands on with the instruction.🙂
Absolutely brilliant video. I learned a lot. Just one thing you missed (I think, but will check again) showing the finished dog in stitch view. Also wondered if you have some way of adding the appearance of fluffiness (fur) to the design?
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I do show it briefly at 19:46 but I never actually stitched out that dog, as I already had a different one I had done earlier in the day. As for fluffiness, I actually have a great recommendation. Madeira Lana thread! To get what people call "brushed embroidery". In an ideal word you would use the Lana thread along with a Lana needle (both Madeira products). Stich out the blocks that you want to be furry and then you use a brass/suede brush or something similar to fuzz the thread, after it is stitched out. It really looks great. If you google "lana thread brushed embroidery" there are a couple of examples in 'images', but widely I can't find many online. I have done it a number of times myself, for a great effect.
quick question, once i was done with the outline of my image, i tried clicking "Split outline" but it is greyed out. Do you know what i can do to fix that issue? thanks.
Thanks for the wonderful videos. Can you make more videos where another type of design or logo is digitised and also explaining more expert sewing attribute functions how they could help to achieve a great embroidery result on fabric, thanks.
Hey! Thank you for the kind words and for watching! I definitely can/will in future videos, I plan to cover all of the sewing attributes in one way or another. I'll try and include some more in the next video!
@@SewingMachines_UK great video, thank you! I've used PE design for years but never thought to use the split outline in that way! I agree with this comment, I'm really battling on what density and step pitch to use..... ie what do I use if I want it to look more smooth..... most of mine come out quite textured. I think upping the density helps..... but I don't want it too dense.... especially for patch backgrounds. BTW to avoid pulling I have my sections stitch directions going in all kinds of directions.
@@2009grumpybeans Hey! I'll cover that in a future video 100% with some real life stich examples of all the settings & their effect, I think I'd also like to see it, haha! You're right about patch backgrounds (it can get quite stiff on anything above 6 lines/mm). I also find the thread used has a big effect on the smoothness of the finish. We always use Madeira Rayon and it has a very smooth finish most often. You're right too, in the previous episode I briefly mentioned that I also like to use a variety of directions (if for no other reason but to have some visual variety) but for the sake of this video (and to keep things simple) I do find that 45 degrees is enough to combat pull on most fabrics because it goes against the grain of the fabric if hooped straight. This is all just anecdotal in fairness, but it always seems to work for me. Thank you for watching anyway, I'm hoping to get the next one out this week if possible!
If you are getting an error when trying to split blocks it'll be because the shape you're creating has a part where the lines cross each other. You need to make sure that the lines you draw only make the outline of a new shape without crossing over its self.
Let me know what you want to see next! I'll see what I can do! ⬇⬇⬇

Really kind of you to say! It's great software and I'm glad you're getting into it!
I learned a lot and I have been using this program for years. Thanks!
Great to hear! There's always some features hiding away!
@@SewingMachines_UK 😊
Your videos are a life saver! Please keep them coming with as many tips and tricks as you can think of! Thank you so much!

I really hope you keep your videos coming. I've had my program for 4 years and learning so much from you and your not going fast. Thank you!

Thanks I needed that video, been looking for years for how to manual punch an image properly. Heres hoping for more
Nevermind I figured it out... I needed to be on stitch view...lol
Thanks for the video!!!!!
No problem, glad you figured it out! It's a really easy and fun method, you can digitize basically anything quite quickly!
Thank you so much ! This tutorial is absolutely perfect
That's really nice for you to say. Glad it helped!
Thank you so so much for this video! I just digitized my dog and I can't wait to embroider her :}

Brilliant video - thanks, i'd like to see settings for 3d puff embroidery, i'm still using ped 10 but can still do most stuff, thanks
Thank you! It's something I'll definitely be coving as we get asked about it a fair amount here! And I'm glad to hear PED 10 is still keeping up!
Thanks for another great lesson
And thank you for watching too! Really nice to hear that you found it useful!

Thank is helpful
podrias hacer un video de un perro peludo, yorky. gracias
Great video. Thanks
No problem, glad you liked it and thank you for watching!
Brilliant video. Looking forward to learning more from you. Thank you.
@@catherine9708 That's very kind, thank you! I'm definitely looking forward to making more too!
Hello, i have PE DESIGN 10 and my split outline tool cannot be selected. Can you help me? thank you

WHAT IS THE PULL COMPENSATION ..
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
I believe that I used a 0.5mm Pull compensation. What it does is account for the stretch of the fabric so that the blocks don't separate.
I'm trying to do what you do but when I finish the outline it's just a blob. I don't have the see thru stitches like you do. Any ideas as to why?
You need to change to stitch view in the bottom right or in the 'view' tab at the top left. All the best!
Cool. Now i wont have to depend on it making my design for me, i can do it my self.
All that power! Haha, it's a lot of fun to do it your self!
Cette vidéo à l'air incroyable, possible d'activer les sous-titre en français ? :/ Tanks youuuu
how do you make a large image design that needs to be split?
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand the question? I believe that's what I'm showing in this video.
the polygon be split cross itself edit the polygon so that the lines dont cross ??? error
If you are getting an error when trying to split blocks it'll be because the shape you're creating has a part where the lines cross each other. You need to make sure that the lines you draw only make the outline of a new shape without crossing over its self.
@@SewingMachines_UK thanks for the help
Hi Sir ! Can you make an Image to me ( Apple Logo)
