- First, thank you for watching my video-If you'd like to make a Donation, please follow this link: www.paypal.com.... The goal of this tutorial was to provide you with an easy, and free method of converting your pictures, logos, files, images, etc. into fully digitized files and embroidery files. I once had to pay someone over $100 to "digitize" my logo and convert it from a .JPG .JPEG .PNG .GIF .PDF .PSD .BMP to a .PES file. (Also Before I paid, I attempted to learn how to create this embroidery file that only a certain few seemed to know how to do, but I was unable to solve the task and paid the store to create the stitches and digitized file (which they wouldn't even give to me!!) I think it was the fact that I paid to have my logo digitized and embroidery file created, yet was unable to use that file on my own terms-so I re-visited the issue and eventually came up with this tutorial.

FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!!
Thanks!
I loved using it. I created my own design for the 3rd year anniversary of my Breast Cancer survival. Now I don't have to buy a 3 year sweatshirt!!!
I wanted to say that I own a print t-shirt business and was thinking about getting an embroidery machine for certain custom jobs and I thought your tutorial was magnificent! I have watched literally hundreds and hundreds of videos on here on everything from finance management to how-tos for CorelDraw, Illustrator, Photoshop and loads more and you have one of the best. You just were calm, didn't waste time on nonsense and got the job done with excellent results. I may just buy that machine
How is that going?
You’re a god among men,, really doing the people a good deed
astgfr Allah just say he's great at what he's doing
If the demo time runs out on this program you can change the date on your PC at the lower right corner of your desktop to when you first installed it. This will make it run while you need to use it. But don"t forget to put the date back after your done.
that's just shitty, the program is NOT that expensive. pay for the damn thing dude
@@quiksilvababe 75$ & I'll probably only use it 3 times for simple designs.
headrush65 🍻👏🏼 thanks for the tip!
I purchased the program, but it does not work when it appears demo
@@quiksilvababe do...do you realize thats nearly $100? how do you think thats cheap
PERFECT!!!! After fretting over $175-$300 software that the free demos looked like they had WAY more than I needed - this worked perfectly! My sewing machine is currently stitching out exactly what I want! My pattern was so simple - I couldn't imagine spending more on software than what I spent on my machine. Thank you for evaluating and helping!!!!
First off I would like to say THANK YOU! You saved me $500 in something I only needed for a one time project. This video was so easy and fun to understand. Very much appreciated!
I know this video is nearly marking its 10 year anniversary soon! This was so helpful, the program still exists much as it did here. My logo was a little complicated but I'm converting for a friend so no idea if it will work yet lol but super grateful for the tutorial
Did it work??
@@bestofgotti17 I was able to make the file but my friends machine said "too many stitches" so not sure what the problem was. Glad I was able to make the file though and I'm sure I could have sent it to a professional and it would have worked
@@bestofgotti17 It did not work for me. I tried five times. Mine did not work as the guy in the video did. It took almost an hour to stop stitching and would not save the files at all. I had over 5000 stitches and one color.
Great tutorial. You definitely a great teacher. We definitely need more people like you to show us beginners how to enjoy software without having to read an entire manual or steps. lol. I have so many software install on my pc that I don't use because the manual is long and complicated for example Paint Programs I watch you erase the Apple logo you made the program look simple most of the times I use that software I end up getting frustrated and closing the app.
Your teaching is clear, precise, understandable...You are a borne teacher, congratulations!
+Aaron 阿阮 Very kind feedback, thank you :)
Do you know what kind of machine you would use to print off an embroidery or a patch similar to this? Try to imagine doing this with an American or Californian Flag. What machine would you need to use to do it? Thanks so much
I was trying to find info on the different PES Version when I stumbled upon your video, I actually was testing out another software for digitizing and wow!!! Yours was so much easier. I basically just created an image file that I wanted to stitch out in Irfanview added everything I wanted, followed your tutorial and in 20 minutes had a patch with the logo my son wanted for his birthday!!! Thank you, I think I'll be looking into this further and it might just be my go-to software. Thanks.
Thank you!! This is the FIRST tutorial I've seen that is clear and easy to follow. I'll get the free version right now and will, no doubt, buy the real thing.
I'm so anxious to try this. I have been so frustrated, that I've had an idea of something I want to embroider that no one has made a design for. Now I have the knowledge to be able to do it myself! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Yep, that worked!! So if anyone else has problems with the Brother PE770 try saving it as a .dst file instead. I resaved the .pes file that I had already perfected as a .dst in sewwhat so I'm not sure if saving it straight from sewart as a .dst would work too but I'm assuming it would. And I chose the applique option instead of the fill and it stitched out perfectly!! Thanks for the tutorial. :D
Good to see a guy lead a monogramming tutorial. I appreciate you taking the time to share this Jay. It worked perfectly. Oh yeah and monogramming is not just for the ladies!
Thanks for this video! I am new to the embroidery world, and figured there had to be a way to convert jpeg to pes. The program recommended worked so well, that I am seriously considering buying it now. My embroidery machine had no problem reading the smaller file (I tried to resize to make it larger, but my machine wouldn't reach larger files), and the final product looked store-bought.
They bait by saying "Free to download"
I was nervous because this video is 8 yrs old but it worked! After resizing the image (BEFORE ADDING STITCHES) to 100mm, I was able to put in onto my 4x4 brother. I'm still trying to figure out how to make it look better quality, but overall I'm satisfied because it was FREE!
Youre a heavent sent! Thank you so much I already spend dollars on downloadable .pes file. Here in PH so not everyone here is into machine embroidery as hobby we've done it by hands or else you go to the specialty stores who offers embroidery services. Thanks so much. I was just a day late. Bec. last night I was able to find someone who can do the digitizing for me, a text file with 3 dotted flowera if i was able to find you last nighy then I will not pay for few bucks here. Your tutorial and tip is precise. So clear. Thanks again.
Man I swear this has been maybe the easiest how to video I’ve watched in my whole long ass CZcams University experience.
Thank you......I am having trouble just getting my embroidery patterns loaded, but this tutorial is amazing. I have bookmarked this page and once I am functioning will definitely return to this tutorial often ! Again thank you
What loved to see the end results on a shirt or item
I spent £600 for program with my embroidery machine. I regret I didn’t find you video any earlier as I needed this to digitazing my logo 😭 and with your tutorial I did it in two minutes
I played this tutorial on my phone as I worked along on my laptop. Fabulously clear instructions. Thank you for your help and advice.
I would like to thank you for the clear and precise tutorial. You are a very good instructor. I have to play the video several times but I got it. Once again thanks!!
OMG you are amazing!!!! You directions were very clear and precise. I wonder how many images you can actually do with the free trial? I am amazed at your talent. I did have one question I used a png image just like you did but when it saved the colors it saved like many many of the same colors over and over again but did have all the colors. Is this OK because I noticed yours just had 1 of each show up in the little boxes to the side? I really appreciate your help - This is a great software and a great tutorial. I notice the vid was made in 2012. I sure hope i can still get an answer to my questions. I know life moves on, I hope you are still around. Thank you sooooooo much
Thank you so much for this video. I purchased the software and was at a loss on how to use it, but now watching this video it is so much easier
THANK YOU!~~~14 years later and it's exactly what I needed!
I just happened to find your tutorial when I went looking for software to digitize a simple file to .pes format. I downloaded the trial version of the software and followed your instructions. I am very, very happy with the finished product. Thank you very much for taking the time to create the tutorial!!
Fantastic video! I have an older Pfaff Creative 2144 and the old software that came with it for digitizing is 16-bit and can't be installed in newer PC systems - which is where you're video has come in very timely (even though it is 3 yrs old itself ;)
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the brilliant tutorial. I had to go through a lot of rubbish to find this gem. Simple, precise, clear, just perfect. Pleasant voice, good speed, very informative, just perfect video. great job, thanks again
Oh my god thank you! Not only is this software extremely easy but its only $75!!! The PE software is $1500 & i can't even figure out its trial version (its far too complicated) my patterns came out amazing & transferred to my machine very easily! .
This work wonders! We managed to make a mockup out of this FREE software you provide even though its already 10 years old. Thanks again!
great video, trial is 3 colors, 60 saves in 30 days. if you want to save reduced colors image.... save
as .tif for the trial and you can alternate colors to separate areas, try to use only 2 or 3 colors while in the trial, and if you have an embroidery editing program you
can change colors, merge colors, split design to separate areas, etc. SewWhatPro from same company has a free trial, and "my editor" is free. back to SewArt, if you want to change parts of the design, change colors, add border stitches you won't have to reduce colors again, if you save as .tif, and when you open the .tif in SewArt again it will have the retained reduced colors.... in the video he said he wanted to save as .bmp but that image type will not save the reduced colors.
Highly recommend this program. I have just downloaded it and used it and it was so easy. I have been trying to find a program like this for ages and I haven't had much luck with the others as they didn't do what I needed. This program converted the jpeg file to pes for me, one happy customer
I had forgotten about this software. I used it many years ago and several laptops . Like the ease of use and it installed on my Brother SE-400 fine. Thanks for the reminder and tutorial.
I am very new to embroidery and digitizing. I have been a graphic designer for 20 + years. I tried SewArt and found it does fine on very simple designs, not so much on detailed designs. I was working with a five color design with detail. I digitized the logo following your very nice informative tutorial but when I stitched the design, it was not so nice. I downloaded another program that worked wonderfully but the price is high.
Hi Tonya can I ask what program you used that worked better but priced higher?
Your tutorial was very concise and easy to follow. I'm going to give this a try - will let you know how it goes. Thanks so much!!😄
You OWN for creating this fine tutorial: Simple, direct, and complete; it helps to alleviate my initial anxiety about one facet of The Embroidery Game.
Jay, I have a Brother PE 770. I hope to upgrade in a few years. Love this hobby.
omg seeing you do all the work, gives me hope. I just bought a very expensive Viking embroidery machine. But, to my amazement it has no instructional video or book, to start.
Thanks, Jay! My first attempt was pretty good, and now I'm trying to learn to make an applique border.
easy to understand and follow. you convinced me to give sewArt a second chance. ill be checking out more of your videos. thanks
I'm starting my own business and well... buying the software doesn't seem like an option to me since I only need it to get my logo digitized. You have been of great help Thanks!
You might have saved me a good chunk of money, the company I am working with to get clothing designs done was charging 30$ per digitized file. I think if I do it for them I can avoid them trying to rip me off for something this easy
Thank u bro my guy charged me EIGHTY FREAKIN DOLLARS to digitize my logo to embroider It onto some shirts and hoodies. EIGHTY BUCKS JUST TO DIGITIZE THE IMAGE!! Then his charge to actually print It onto the clothing! I vowed to never pay another penny to digitize an image ever again!
oh thanks a lot your work is amazing. all the best
Wow this is exactly what I was looking for! I'm gonna download it now and try it out.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this so clearly. I'm very grateful!
We were left hanging!!!!! How did the image print. I am sure this program "SHOULD" do a lot of things. Sew Art Pro seems amazing. Not sold on SewArt yet!!!!
Nicely explained. Try re-saving the file from SewWhat into the .PES you are used to and try uploading that to your Brothers's USB stick.
gonna give it a shot, thanks for such a clear, concise and easy tutorial
Worked a dream, although I had to shrink it HEAPS to fit the brother machine hoop. THANKS HEAPS - You're a legend!
Thank you so much! You made it so easy to learn this stuff :) I can't wait to start making my plushies with embroidered eyes now :)
is there a sew art for the mac?
What I've learned running around today is that if you were take this image into a place like Lids to get it done, the Fill Stitch won't work on their machines. They use DST files and the Fill Stitch will warp their needles as well as won't read the file correctly.
Thank You Jay, This worked perfectly!!! I uploaded one of my own pictures and posterized it. Everything worked perfect. I will try a few other things and if they go as well, I will buy the program. Stitching had a few minor problems but I think that may be due to my programing. This is great Thank you!
I can't believe how many men are into machine embroidery, etc. That's great! I just happened to stumble across this video. I actually have Sew What Pro and I think I might have some of the same tools to do this. There's a lot on the toolbar that I don't use because I don't know what it is for! Going to experiment soon! If not, I'll try this. About how much does this program cost?
Thanks!
Vicky Lynn men are into this because theres bread in embroidered garments. What embroidery machine u have? I might have work for you
+Vicky Lynn The SewArt program is $75.
I am a man and I am in this because I can embroider dead Chinese men's calligraphy into a silk background, frame it, and sell it in high price in China.
They are amazed how beautiful the calligraphy turned out, they also amazed what an art work for hand stitches.
The thing I can't do is Obama's portrait and that of many other famous personality like Marilyn Monroe, etc. because there are too many color mixture on the face that no software can handle it. If it can, then I'll use a huge embroidery machine to make a fortune.
I'm actually not looking to make money for me with my project. I'm making dog collars to raise money for Service Dogs for Military veterans with PTSD. When I get a combat belt from a soldier that was used in a war zone I want to make a tag that indicates its provenance. My SE-400 doesn't make the letters small enough to put on the tag, so I need to create the file of text myself. I'm trying to find the least expensive way to do this so that I can donate more of the money from the sale of the collars to Service Dog providers.
Depends on the format (file extension), but Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw are most common. I'll look into free alternatives for working with these types of files for you
Thank you so very much for the tutorial and the information. I created a PES for my embroidery machine and am going to work with the Sewart program to try to fine tune my first attempt.
It's always a good idea to read the describtion of a video before complaining :D
The program is not as simple for 2 color graphics with words. I have seen two videos with this same person on this method. I appreciate the clear instructional video and the fact that the program to use has a 30 day free trial. What i do not like is when individuals create informative videos such as this an never respond to their audience. I read the comments on both videos where individuals have asked specific questions for guidance and have not received a response. That makes my skin crawl.
You create videos, you receive viewers, and they respond to their content the least you can do is respond to the community of people that are supporting you. That applies to anyone that are doing videos and have an audience of supporters.
Dude you are a freaking Monster, I was about to pay Lids $50 bucks to Convert my image. Now I don't have to Thanks you rock.......
Wow! That is great and looked so easy! I agree you are a great teacher.
Wow, great tutorial! Thanks so much. Easily followed along with the intrusions, very user friendly!
Man where has this video been??? Been looking for nearly a year but somehow came across yours today thanks for the mucho info my friend;)
I found the problem, if you have a " PE Brother " free version, them do not recognize this software, delete from you PC the Brother software and restart you PC, this working PERFECT !!! Thanks
I stumbled upon your video looking for something else. I am so excited to give this program a try. It would be awesome to have a program that will simplify for me. I usually have to pull my image into a couple of programs to get it cleaned up before I can stitch. Thank you!!
great tutorial. by the way, wilcom offer a totally free software called Wilcom Truesizer. you can change the size of embroidery files and then you can save them in any embroidery format, so its a converter also.
I have windows but your video was very helpful and I will also be purchasing SewArt. Thank you for your video!!!
I would have loved to have seen the final product after you were done. :-)
Works well. Only thing that stinks is you have to go in manually and remove ALL of the background stitching behind every letter if there are Os, As, Ds, etc.
When I press auto sew it doesn’t look as simple as yours with your single colours it’s doing each individual stich
Hello just wondering if you figured out why this software does each individual stitch color? I am new to this as well. Wish he would’ve answered questions from people. Did you happen to stitch a design and did it turn out correctly? I also cannot find how to set it up for a 4x4 hoop size. He did not explain how to do that either. When I push the auto so the letters do not look good I hope it does not embroider that way.
Thanks for the tutorial. I just purchased SewArt. Cannot wait to begin experimenting. I printed out the manual too....but...I suspect it will be mostly trial & error for me.
thank you for showing us and teaching you are great and highly appreciated
I dont know if you know that your video is being used. I just bought some embroidery cds and thought before I download the one you are talking about I will check what my new cds have. and it has your video on their cd! thanks for this video I will be downloading it!
Seeing the end results would help me see what the finished product was after you digitized the logo to make my decision to get this program or not
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I had forgotten that I downloaded the trial software and didn't use it. When I went back to delete and re-download, I was unable to. I like this program however, so I am off to see how much its going to be to purchase!
Thanks again!
Worked great for me. I created a .hus file and I'm a happy camper.
You're a ROCKSTAR! Thanks so much for this tutorial!
This program works only with the simplest of designs having a minimal number of colors in it. I did try the demo version, and it produced nearly unusable .pes files. I do thank the author for his lesson, however, and advice. E in Columbus, OH
Hi I've tried it and wonderful program. I also bought my original program. thanks for the learning videos
Great simple video
Thank you. Going to try it out soon 😊
hey Jay, thank you for this tutorial although i came from the future lol, in my opinion it's missing only one thing , implementation using the machine. it would be great to see the result after using the software alot of ppl arent doing this.
Wow, finally a good tutorial for digitising embroidery!
yes, I'm using an Imac with Boot Camp to over come the incompatiblity issues with OS X
Really works that I end up buying the program...thanks for the tip
Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍I just started and I had a successful Logo, thank you thank you 😊
Thank u so much for this video, I was looking for this kind of program, 'cause my mom works with embroidery
very well explained. i've tried it (before i saw your video *s) and it wasn't too bad. however the stitch-image wasn't perfect either. i've still got a few issues with the outlines. it's a logo with white letters on a blue background. have to redo it once more :-). i like the edges clear with a nice border. will use the wizard next time *lol
This works great on pics. Thank you! I create a lot of text (multiple lines) with my Sophia2, and I have to create the text in PP or Publisher, save it as an image, then take it into SewArt. It doesn't always keep all of the text, i.e. a letter will be missing... Anybody have any suggestions? I wonder if a certain font is better than another?
Thank god i found your videos, ive always wanted to make logo patches.
ciao mi piace il tuo tutorial proverò con calma essendo la prima volta
This program absolutely works on MAC you just have to use a simple program called PlayonMac. Go to SewArt website and it will guide you been using it on my iMac and works great!!
i tried down loading, no success. if you don't mind can you send it to me?
Thank you for this video. It is a great one. I have been looking for this information until I came across this video
it works! I tried it and got my logo done and embroidered with little issues
This is amazing!!! THANK YOU! SOOO helpful!
What if the imagine is too large?
Thanks a lot Mr. MayBrsch. its a really Helpful Tutorial. i cant express with verbal. Thanks a lot again.
I plan to try this.. I have a pic I want to do this to.. will keep you posted as to if it works for me or not
This was so easy and helpful! Thank you!
thanks , i keep coming to this vid just to hear you say, "And that's iT" @5:45
