I just wanted to say thank you so much for your tutorials. Last week I bought a brother se700 and was surprised to see how much hatch was for what I wanted to do as a novice. These tutorials saved my life and now I can embroider my heart out.
Rolling release users are essentially testers. That's why I chose the rolling release distribution Manjaro. This bug would never have made it into the stable branch of Manjaro
If bug is your concern triggering use, opensuse is configured with snapper rollback anytime something goes wrong. And bug causing massive chaos is a rare phenomenon for opensuse since packages go throughly with open build service before final push.
I tried 24.10 a few days ago. I had problems with random freezing every few mins, which is also an issue with Fedora and Manjaro KDE versions. From what found when looking at hiw to resolve it, its related to Wayland. When they fix these issues perhaps I'll give it another try.
Need help! In inkstitch, I have created one design for computer embroidery It has more than 200 color changes, I need only 10 color changes, and how to fix my issue please help me. Thank you.
I’ve been watching closely some of the ways InkStitch lettering fonts stitch out, and I was wondering your opinion on if there are any advantages of your way vs theirs? I’ve only seen a couple very closely, so I don’t know if this is a rule, or just the way different people prefer. Example: on the A, they would run from the bottom left and stop the satin stitch at the point where the left and right sides touch. Then, the would treat the upper part as a trapezoid and satin the entire upper part back down to the intersection. Then, finish out the right side from the bottom of the upper portion down. I saw it on the lower case “n” and “h” in one of the scripts. This would negate the overlapping of stitches where they intersect. Any advantages or disadvantages? If I’m not clear and you’d like to see it, I can post in your FB group that I am in.
Mostly it's just a number of different ways to come to a common end result. It's safe to just pick one or two of those and become good at doing it that way
Hi everyone, can anyone help on this 😊. I have created one design in inkspace for computer embroidery, but the color changes are more than 100 colors, how can we fix that please help me, I need only 10 colors in that design.
Ctrl click a color or select a color object from the objects list. Edit>select>select same>fill color, object>group. Repeat Did this from memory so may not be exact but should get you where you need it.
Thank you so much for these tutorials. I keep wondering why other programs cost hundreds of dollars while ink/stitch is free for everyone to use. It seems to me like you can do everything you need to do for embroidery with ink/stitch. What's so different about those expensive programs?
The difference is the amount of time you’re willing to spend learning a program. I’m a newbie to machine embroidery and I have the 30 day hatch trial and from what I can tell I was able to take my drawings with little effort and make it a digitized file with basically 2-3 clicks of a button in hatch. Versus with Inkscape you really have to do your research and learn how to do everything. But yes you can basically do everything hatch has to offer in Inkscape. It’s just more work 😅
I'm totally new with embroidery, your videos are really really good, you explain very well, thanks for all your work and shared with the Inkscape community.
Dale, not watched this all the way through yet but just wanted to mention, in your videos you sometimes use the stitch plan and say about having to remember to turn off the design layer to see it - you can set the option for that. when you use the stitch plan just above where it says about setting realistic etc. you have the option to turn off the design layer
Yeah I often do that, then I use that and export as png/pdf to make a preview if I need to show to someone (not that often as I tend to digitise for myself so on screen is good enough)
I think it’s entirely likely there will be a Warty brown theme both in the installer and optionally on the desktop seeing as its release coincides with the 20th anniversary of Ubuntu and Warty 4.10.
Loved the video and u as person showing that gaming is for everyone and dosnt matter age on person.. Once a gamer, always a gamer 😎 Im also kinda new to Linux gaming and love performance difference from windows that sucks life out of older pcs/laptop sadly with useless stuff that u dont even need in your system. Currently using latest version of Linux mint and im installing POE so lets hope I wont have any issues playing cuz love Poe such amazing game and free to play.. btw new sub will definitely come back for your channel.. Cheers from Sweden 👍
The 'Ubuntu' colour issue is a bug in mesa 24.2.2 when running on X11 with no acceleration (llvmpipe). Which is why you saw it in qemu on the live X11 session.
It's interesting to see how these things can migrate meaning as well - I'm pretty sure I first saw the meme explained somewhere as like, "don't worry, Arch is stable/not broken, I use it and I'm fine."
Ran Fedora 40 with KDE 6 for a few weeks and KDE 6 is lovely. It’s truly the best thing to have happened in Linux desktop space in decades honestly. More distros should default to it. Sadly I couldn’t keep using Fedora because it doesn’t meet my needs packaging wise, I need something debian based, so I am waiting for Kubuntu 24.10.
I like Kubuntu but the packages are delayed every 6 months considering it’s dated and delayed fixes for bug, system enhancements, optimizations etc. Ideal choices of distros would be Tumbleweed, latest Fedora or Manjaro considering the don’t delay as much as Ubuntu does
In this one I said tumblweed is the one to go with, or if you want it for grandma/wife that won't be happy if it fails kubuntu would be a good choice. I'm still sticking with tumblweed even though it has disappointed me several times lately. I am currently hunting a better choice, just haven't found one yet.
@@plutorocks1 That video will be hitting either this evening or tomorrow. Lets just say i have installed fedora on my laptop cause tumbleweed won't work on it. And, well, for the record, kubuntu 24.10 didn't either LOL
Hello tahnks for this video. In fact, there is no skype for Suse or Linux, I mean, an ".rpm" package or ".deb" package, just snap package. On skype site you can use the browser or use a snap. I agree with you that every distro have issues: on Debian I can't make my HP Advantage wokrs, or, it works when it wants....but I can install TeXmacs to write my texts....in Opensuse my HP Advantage works out of the box, but to install TeXmacs is very complicated and some times installs a lot of repositories that I don't choose and that don't work...but I prefer Suse over Debian...Suse is much more agnostic or silent about politics. Best wishes from Brazil (soputh)...
I don't have the button you call hamburger menu button at bottom of my screen. I have downloaded and installed the palette. I have restarted inkscape, but I can't figure out how to see the list of threads that it downloaded with the palette. I have clicked on several buttons on my screen, but I can't find anything. :(
OpenSuse is the best distro out there in my opinon. Now I have all desktops with Thumbleweed and 90% of servers on Bare Metal/VMs on Leap. Thank you OpenSuse Team!
Hi! I'm new to inkstitch. I'm wondering if there is a way to make a continuous line file? For example, for the use on long arm quilting pentagram. It would be a repeat pattern, in a single line. Or is there a way to convert my own design to a pentagram pattern? Thank you for the great videos!
You have a very positive view to inkstich. Thats ok. But let me tell you some of my experiences. I am new to embroidery software, and I am a software developer for 30 years and checking out 3 apps. Hatch, Embird and inkstich. I am using lightburn for laser, fusion360 for 3dprint and inkscape is similar. First what I had to do was to create short cuts . You are getting crazy with the mouse. Extension/InkStick/Parm, Extension/InkStick/Parm,... and so on. In the update the took the realistic view out of the simulator ? I dont think that was a good idea. Realistic view takes too long in comparison to the other apps. Start/Ending points: Dont work for Running Stich, but InkStich added the symbols to the layer without an error. If you have a lot of objects, and a lot of start and ending points, the layer view gets complicated, but a good brain training for my age. inkstich is a free extension to inkscape and is limited to the options inkscape allows. If I would learn inkstich my wife. No, I wont. Would I use it, yes, but with some headache. It´s like hot and cold.
All good points and I very much agree, i don't care for the the new realistic preview. My using inkstitch has more to do with the fact that I use Linux, and no other digitizing program that I know of (at least years ago when I started) will work on Linux, so inkstitch is my only option. Even on a mac, last I knew, Embrilliance is the only other option. My view on starting to learn a new program is just pick one and learn it. There's a learning curve on all of them. I know inkstitch well enough and it does enough that I don't second guess any of those other programs at all.
Theoretically I don't believe so. Tumbleweed updates go through a rigorous suite of testing before being published that no other rolling release does. I think if you use btrfs with snapshots on arch it would be as close as you can get. At least it would have easy rollbacks available. Even the arch wiki recommends to check every arch update to make sure it's not going to break something.
yast is only in opensuse. there's also an offshoot of opensuse called gecko linux os. I can't remember if it has yast in it but I think it does. There's pclinuxos that has a similar control panel to yast but it's been a long time since i used pclinuxos and don't remember if is as in depth as yast, but iirc it's pretty close.
This is a vulkan issue, what graphics card are you using? make sure your graphics drivers are installed make sure dxvk is installed as well If you're trying to run it on proton try changing the proton version. You could also try the Lutris stand alone installer to see if that works
Thank you, that's really help full. Can i ask something? is there a way to make limit on how many objects to spawn? i didn't want to always spawn the objects.
easiest way would be have your spawn code in a function then call that function when needed. example func make_object: /spawn code/ if object_count < 20: make_object
