How to digitize graphics for embroidery - Tock Custom 

Finally someone who doesn't hide the software from the public. This other "digitizer" youtuber (NDM) avoids answering what software he uses, and I'm almost positive it's this one because he only uses Brother machines. Thank you!

The best tutorial I have ever watched! Clear precise instructions with an excellent view of the software screen, and explained at just the right speed. Just brilliant.

i just got a luminaire 3 and pe design 11 and you are the first person who actually can help me understand the process. i enjoy the way you show and explain things thank you so much

holy crap, I've been searching for a clear video on how to digitize patterns or how to use the software. THIS VIDEO IS A GODSEND. I was super nervous about getting into this type of stuff because all of the other videos I've watched make it seem super complicated. I literally have no worries now. Thank you!

Love the explanations... so clear and gives great background info that other presenters don't. Awesome presentation

Oh my goodness, you opened up a whole new world for me with the Pe design 10 software. You explain things really well and are very easy to understand. I need to learn how to digitize for my business. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

I freaking LOVE you!!!! I just bought a floor model Luminaire 1 with ALL the bells and whistles thrown in including PE-Design 11 and the SnC 230D , for less than I paid for my junk Bernina 830LE (which I traded in), and was a PITA to use. Thank you for all your videos, as I was up most of the night watching!! I especially like that they are newer and up to date, not to mention easy to follow. I'm new to digitizing and am excited to get started! So many ideas in my head that are waiting to be stitched out!!

Thanks for this tutorial. I bought a Babylock 10 needle embroidery machine 6 months ago. Palette 11 came with the bundle. I've been busy learning the machine, but to tell the truth, I've been too intimidated with the software to even install it until today. I do know Photoshop, so I am not sure why I've let this software scare me. Your relaxed manner in explaining the steps for digitizing has really helped to settle my nerves. Here I go! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO- you're my hero!!!! You're explanations are so simple and you show exactly what to click etc. Every other video I found was convoluted and barely taught anything. I've been working on figuring out how to digitize this one logo for MONTHS and your video solved the problem for me in minutes. *applause* *applause* *standing ovation*

I would love to see more tutorials on pe design and importing more detailed images or fonts. You’re really really good at walking through all of it!

OMG...I am so glad I found you. Your videos are so informative and easy to understand. I have been wanting to do patches for so long and finally have the financial capability to get a good machine. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO & FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

You are the best!!! I love how in depth you are with teaching. I found you years back when I got m Se400 I still haven't used the embroidery out of intimidation mostly the digitize area stopped me but you have taught me more in the past hour than I've gotten in years LoL. You are the GOAT! And yes I love GOT...House of Stark!

Thank you so much! I was hoping to find a good simple to follow tutorial and info and this was the best I found!! So helpful! 👍🏻👍🏻

I can't tell you how many times I have come back to this video to see what to do with PE Design.

Husband purchased a machine for his business and lost interest in it. Thought I would try my hand at it and I have been learning so much from your videos! Have been watching from unboxing, to threading, and so much more. Thank you for such easy to follow (and understand) videos. Getting quite inspired!

Best Pe-design video I've seen so far. Straight to the point without the long intro about what happened last week. Cheers 🙂

thank you for this video! please continue to make more. i like the way you teach and explain!

Thank you! I think this has been the most helpful video I've seen for this software!

You have made my day! I got a PE800 for my B-Day. I do 120 crafts and Sewing isn't one of them. After finding out how easy it was to thread and use the new machine, It won't be collecting dust! I LOVE IT. My first interest was making patches. I have been on You Tube and the internet, trying to find some real help. 24 hours later, I find you! I'm thrilled to see someone genuinely willing to really helping people. I appreciate you and I will look to see what else you have in store! Thank you!

Awesome tutorial! You give exact steps with quick explanations. Quick and to the point is what I needed to digitize my file in a snap. Very much appreciated!!

DAMMM YOU TOCK!!!! Your gonna make me spend money again :D Great vid by the way

great tutorial! this video definitely has made me less afraid of buying an embroidery machine and being lost with the software. One helpful video idea would be troubleshooting embroidery machine issues, as well as how to do applique with embroidery machines!

ohhhh bless you, this guide is everything i was looking for and more -- I feel so much more confident dabbling in custom designs, thank you very much for sharing your know-how with us! 😊🙏✨

WOW, Just WOW! I have had PE-Design 10 for 18 months and never knew what Autopunch did. I have seen other PE-Design 10 videos but this is by far the best I have seen. Please make more PE-Design 10 videos....Thanks

Great video... my son is an artist and I'm trying to digitize one of his pencil sketches but can't seem to get the background clear any suggestions I so did enjoy your presentation with no foo foo stuff... straight too it. I LIKED IT!

All I want to know is Where is Your Magic Wand❓ Because you are a FREAKIN WIZARD!🖤 DaaaaamN your Good 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤❤️

omg i am thinking of getting into custom embroidery for hobby/ business and was sort of thinking of not ... until i saw your video. Thank you for being transparent, clear and very informative on designing embroidery on graphics. Thanks!

Very informative. The stitch types are very important and linked to the size that the design is sewn at also.

hey Tock, what type of format should the image be saved as so I can digitize it on brother pe?

Hi Tock! What machine would you recommend starting out with? I would love to be able to do custom stuff as well for myself. Your videos are really great and I appreciate the effort you put in creating them

You are my hero - Just got a brother prs100 and was struggling with editing. Thank you thank you!!

Thank you for or such a quick and precise tutorial that gets right to the point. I learned more from this than a two-hour tutorial I watched earlier!

Great video! I seem to have mixed results when importing art with auto punch. What file type do you use? I create in Corel Draw and seem to have best luck exporting as .png file to import in Brother. Still not best quality..Eps file looks terrible.

What kind of formatting was your GOT picture when you uploaded it? I had issues that the quality went down or the image changed once I started messing with the settings like you did ( changed the color quantity, noise and so forth).

Thank you so much this is very helpful. I am a total novice at this and tried the other day from a google image and it stitched out ok but I did not make to many changes as I did not understand how to do it, now watching your video gives me more confidence to try again. Please do more of these videos as I found you very helpful.

The way that you explain is seems so simple 🤯🙌🏼 excellent video

When uploading an image on this software what file does it have to be in?

Can you draw a design, scan it into your computer, and upload to software ? Thank you. Great Video!

I appreciate you taking the time to to more into detail! You're videos are really helping me out! I'm sorta just beginning.. I bought a Brother se600 and am trying to make band patches and other custom projects!

You are a great Teacher! Thank you for this embroidery tutorial.

Finding out this software alone costs 2 grand broke me. I wonder if Brother and Adobe are mates who hang out with each other after hours for beers and the lolz.

Me again, sorry! I would like to know where the Pe-Design other versions can be found 2,5,8 something like that. I saw PE- Design 10 as and upgrade for over $300. Then after numerous hours of searching, I saw a Pe Design 10 for about $1300's! Can you recommend a digitizing software for beginner to tryout before making such a large investment? Anything thats in a PES format.

I just ordered this software. I can't wait to play with it along with your video. Thank you for putting out a fun and easy to follow video.

Thank you! your awesome straight to the point, I have had PEDesign 10 for almost a year and have been so frustrated. Well not anymore.

the newest form of this program is 2000$... wow

Thanks so much for posting this video... It is by far the best video out there on creating embroidery files. I have been checking for a few years and this video is amazing. Thanks again.

I love this guy so much, I learn so much from each video, HUGE THANKS

Fantastic, simple to understand, extremely helpful video. Thank you SO much

wonderful video! i've had this software and my brother se625 for about 4 years and haven't embroidered anything. recently, some1 requested a custom patch. ...i'm so excited now.

What a fantastic video! I have PED Basic, Palette 7 and Chroma Luxe and have watched countless videos, read the manuals and still end up fumbling through on my own. In One viewing of your video you have helped me understand many aspects of the programs I already have! I wrote notes furiously as you presented and these will help immensely! I will see if you have a video on how to utilize a background image to create an embroidery design, because I have a design that stumps my autodigitize. And your demo of how PE 10 creates an automatic patch edge was jaw dropping! Thank you!

Nice Job! I must say I have watched MANY videos trying to understand more about embroidery, programs and the stitches. I should have started here! I was even looking at different programs but as someone else mentioned, other RU-vidrs present the information in a sketchy way. Thanks for info! I have made my purchases to get started!🤞

Thank you so much! Your videos are amazing!!! I love your personality and feel very thankful that I found your videos!

Great Video!!! As a newbie, I am excited to learn more and more about embroidery. We just purchased the Brother Entrepreneur 1050X and I am still learning. I look forward to more of your videos!

Thank you so much! This was so helpful and in my language, in others words EASY TO FOLLOW!

Fab video thank you- it's the best explanation of PE10 on the net - everyone else makes it so complicated. Please do more PE10 videos. Thanks again!

Best tutorial on this topic. Love your teaching style and tutorials. I was torn between Sew What Pro and Embrilliance but after your amazing demonstration, I think I will go with the Brother. I have a Brother and wasn't aware this program existed. 😏

Excellent tutorial, you made this very practical. The Zelda bag is awesome!

I am a novice and you are blowing my mind with your sharing with this incredible technology Thank you from aussieland

Received embroidery machine as gift no knowledge of how to use your video was so informative and made it so easy to use my machine thank you.

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. THANK YOU

Finally! Someone puts out a good video on PE Design!!! Thank you! Please do more of these😁

thank you so much for this, i learned such a lot, somehow it didn't seem like a tutorial. you are very good at passing on your knowledge. gratitude

This is a great tutorial. Trying it today, can’t wait. Thanks.

Your video is very well done and explains this software. Thank you

This was so extremely helpful! Thank you so much. I was able to create a beautiful embroidery design for a friend's cosplay using this tutorial and my Ipad + PE Design 11.

❤❤❤ thank you for this! I'm super new to pe design, you make this look super easy!!

this video was a lifesaver. I just purchased a Janome machine and currently have a Brother machine. I was worried I'd have to buy a new software. Also, I was working on a patch that I couldn't figure out how to fix stitches or clear up the image. Thank you for that.

spent a few hours on the free trial hoping i could at least test how it all works only to discover you cant save the file or use it. really great tutorial and it helped a lot. im just pretty upset with brother for my wasted time.

Thank you so much for your video, I just got an embroidery machine and the software and this I really helpful. I would love to see more tutorials on this software ❤️

You’re a great teacher man. Keep it up.

best tutorial i've found so far thanks

Your video is amazing! It’s clear and easy to understand. I will seriously consider purchasing this software. Thanks for sharing. I am also subscribing to your channel. 😊

It is very powerful software and can do just about everything the best commercial software can, although it may take a few more steps. Myself, I am an old school hand digitizer following in the footsteps of John Deer, Steve Wilson and Walter Floriaini. All about machine productivity and pathing. Never have used the auto features. However, when used correctly as you have done, you can get excellent results. As long as you do not have to sew out more than a dozen it is a good way to go.

This is what I needed, awesome video! I've never touched a sewing machine in my life but looking to get started. I would love a tutorial on how to sew a design like this onto a simple T-shirt would be awesome!

BEST VIDEO.. so great and super easy to follow! Thank you so much!!!!!

Thank you so much for the great tutorial!!!

Awesome vid! I'm just getting into all of this, myself, and this was very inspiring to watch. That Zoom H2n sounds pretty good, too! I just recently bought one of those, as well for another project I'm working on.

Hi Tockaliscious, It's boki bokimoto ... Thanks for these great teachings, just got my new machine today, se600 ...moist!

Thank you so much for this, man. We truly appreciate you! 🙏

Once again Thank you for sharing.
