I learned more in one hour of watching this step by step video that I have in a almost a years worth of watching many different digitizing demonstration videos . You were excellent in describing each step without dragging out the wording too much. KUDOS.

thank you!

[@kumabear3268]

Awesome thanks for the detailed tutorial! The amount of understanding that I got from your video was the absolute best. Thanks again

[@mryorkielover]

Good video. The only thing that would make it better is at the end, you showed the finished patch embroidered out.

[@user-pq6mm9ir5g]

Hey sir, thanks for the video. You helped me understand the software aLot more than I did before. I was struggling before because the Ricoma videos I watched before didn't go into depth. Awesome.

[@theproperpatch]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@michaelGhilardi]

how do you add the pre placement stich to attatch to item as well as the zig zag to tack it on the garment?

[@hooked_fish]

how you create the white color OFFSET OUTLINE

just sub thinking about getting LUXE

[@jmscott31]

Great tutorial. One question. I am BRAND new to this program. Been using Illustrator for over 20 years however. That being said, you mention not liking the "eyedropper" tool. I see what you mean about the overlap, but there has to be a way to use the eyedropper tool, then simply offset the X,Y of the fill? This would give you the overlap. Is there no such tool? In Illustrator, I can simply use the "Offset" feature.

[@markunger7189]

There is but its not precise like illustrator but neither is the thread so that makes sense. You can expand the object by a percentage and it will create overlap. Lately I have just been turning toggle the view to thread and then you can see where it will land

[@sexiisydd]

what kind of file are you plugging in for your artwork?

[@markunger7189]

Im not sure I understand the question... the file im tracing is a .jpg

[@David_Flournoy]

I tried to find similar art work at gripless . I had no luck. Where would you recommend I go to buy similar art to what you used in this video?

[@theproperpatch]

Probably a stock place like envato or istock

how do you cut out your patches once they are stitched?

[@beardedelephant3023]

How do you price digitizing and also making patches?

[@theproperpatch]

I only digitize my own stuff but a lot of people will charge stitch count

[@beardedelephant3023]

@@theproperpatch gotcha

[@BS-mb9gv]

Are there fill patterns in Chroma?

[@theproperpatch]

Yes they have lots of options - I also think you can create your own

[@BS-mb9gv]

price of chroma luxe sucks

[@theproperpatch]

Super Sucks. They need to go to a subscription model.
