@doctormo Hi and thanks!
Ok, so I use any and all CAD/CAM extensions like #inkstitch Spherobot and such with success.

The problem I run into ever so often, sort of every time I try to install and run a new (for me that is) extension I struggle so much before getting it to work.
This time I needed the 'Lasercut Box', the 'Elliptical Box Maker' and the 'Living Hinge' that won't work at all. Now I got them showing up under extensions but still not doing anything.

FWIW, there is a bit of a learning curve for #InkStitch (and I suppose also for #Inkscape as well, but I've been using it for years) but the docs and some tutorial videos helped pretty quickly...Brother and many other manufacturers really push proprietary subscription software (there's a smartphone app, #Artspira, for this machine, but you can't draw fill shapes without a subscription!!! and versions of PE-Design can go as high as $1000! Though you can find versions cheaper) and im happy this machine seems to work pretty flawlessly with it.

It helps that I've done 3d printing design too - it's actually a similar workflow, but instead of slicing, you create stitch plans (usually one per color) for your SVG layers/groups.

I've been building my layers "up" from largest fill to smallest, with the outline done last. #embroidery #floss

Thanks all for comments. The napkins were made last Thursday and posted on Friday.

I went with the very unoriginal "Enjoy!", and with "Bain Sásta As" which I would hope the recipient gains some satisfaction from...

The new lettering in #InkStitch is magic.

Four napkins lying on a black counter with scissors nearby. Two are stone with gold writing and two are cream with rose gold writing. Each of them has a different message, namely: "Bon Appétit", "Bain Sásta As", "Enjoy!", and "Guten Appetit".

c) Too many details. As described in the previous images, the texts "illegal" + "instructions" are barely readable. Maybe it's too small... or I should not have chosen both stroke and filling.

Quite likely, many things due to lack of experience. But sometimes you have to fail in order to improve.. that is supposably the core of "learning". -- I am open for any ideas and hints. How can my #embroidery be improved? I am actually happy that there is #FOSS such as #inkscape and #InkStitch available!

My workflow:

1) download the assets from the #38c3 styleguide (events.ccc.de/congress/2024/in)

2) rework the SVG file in #inkscape so that there's no unwanted fills and overlaps; play with stroke widths

3) use #InkStitch and its paramter dialog to tweak the values; resize the logo to fit into a 100 mm x 100 mm frame (physical limit of my machine); export a PES file

4) transfer the PES file on an old memory card (my machine reads, no USB connection) using brother's PED Basic software

Screenshot of brother PED Basic software which shows a preview of the PES file, the capacity of the memory card as well as dimensions and thread colors (from some brother embroidery color scheme; called "wistaria violet" and "carmine"; probably the closest fit of the RGB color code)

And thank you so much to the #InkStitch folks who came to #Kielux, had a booth there, started a patch-making cooperation with #fossgis, stitched names on visitors' t-shirts, donated two stitched oven mitts for the raffle, and gifted me this cute, cute, cute keyfob with my avatar!

I love it so much... 😍 🐧
