From SVG to Stitch: An Introduction to Digital Embroidery

Have you ever wished your digital designs could escape the screen and end up on clothing, fabric, or accessories? In this lightning talk, I demonstrate how a simple vector file can become a finished embroidered piece using free, open-source tools like Inkscape and Ink/Stitch. You’ll learn how an SVG is translated into stitch instructions, what actually happens inside a PES embroidery file, the common pitfalls to watch out for, and why digital embroidery is a surprising blend of coding, design, and hands-on craftsmanship.
