  • hmm that’s an idea, we could try an inkstitch thread here first maybe? lemmy isn’t that big, so splintering it too much too early might not be ideal.

    I actually have embroideryware (windows, seems unmaintained now, horrible GUI but pricewise doable), that and brother canvas workspace for my cm900 are the only two things I run wine/Bottles for still.

    I’m hoping to get rid of both with Inkscape (ink/stitch and inkcut, haven’t looked too much at the latter yet, I’ll try stitch first).

    Do you happen to know of any tutorials for absolute inkscape noobs?
















  • I would advise to try with a thicker top-stitch needle, since metallic threads are thicker and stiffer. The 75 is very thin, you might have to try 90 or more if your fabric allows (or test on other fabric first). The top-stitch needles have a wider eye so the thread can glide through better (topstitching is often done with thicker decorative thread). Also make sure that the thread unwinds without snagging ot curling. And go fairly slow.
