Hatch Embroidery: How to Do Basic Digitizing

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hatch Embroidery is a software suite for making and editing embroidery designs! I started using this suite about 5 years ago and haven't looked back! This is a tutorial for making a basic embroidery design from scratch based on some very profesh artwork of mine.
You can grab a 30 day trial of Hatch here: hatchembroidery.com/
Note: This is NOT an ad. I just really like the software. Seriously.

    Thanks! Yes, the Summer months are chaotic for me. Couple that with work travel at the tail end of the Summer then catching Covid... uuuuugh :( NOW I'm moving cross country! Once I'm settled, it'll be a ton of content.

    I actually was wondering what that weird line thingy was when I was trying to buy an embroidery design today. I wasn't sure if they had digitized it like that and my embroidery would have one too if i purchased their design. In the end I didn't buy it because of that. Your video was helpful because now I know why it was there. I could not figure out how to look it up online, because I didn't know what to call it. I love your designated term!! I will probably buy embroidery software on the near future and it wss nice to see how Hatch works. Thanks for all the great videos!!

    The user interface looks really clunky scary. Reminds me of software written in the late 80's although the stitching/hatching algorithms are producing a much more impressive fast results. Can it leverage vector graphics to introduce all the boundaries and shapes? Most drafting programs can produce open and closed polylines that contain multiple definition points and mathematically defined curves (real time editing by dragging nodes). Assign widths to lines. Clip objects with other objects. And in the end export to a variety of formats like dwg/dxf/vwx/etc.

    Yes it does take vector graphics! I'm a software engineer by day (YT isn't my job), so I guess the interface seems quite tame in comparison to what I typically use to program. I have used Hatch, Viking's software, Brother's software, and Embird. Hatch has been the one that seemed the most intuitive to me. Viking's software required spiritual intervention, and old priest and a young priest, and some holy water for me to understand.

    @@fiercekittenz LOL I totally agree about the Viking software! Before Hatch, I used Punto for 20 years, which had bezier vector tools like Adobe Illustrator. When they quit updating that a few years ago, I tried Hatch. Previously I had tried Embrilliance but I found the tools too weird. I didn't expect to like Hatch because I had to install Windows on my Mac for that, but I found it much easier to learn than Embrilliance. Other than the bezier tool, Hatch does way more than Punto at a fraction of $$$.

    No, I don't sadly. It's just a quick file that I made to give a basic introduction to Hatch. If I put it up for download, it wouldn't help a lot opening it and trying to follow along as I create it throughout the video. Already having a finished copy of it wouldn't teach you much.

    TrueView is a digital estimate of what the stitching might look like. It’s not 100% accurate, but it’s pretty close!

    I'm a touch biased here, because I've used Hatch for YEARS even before it was called "Hatch." I have access to Chroma, because I also have a Ricoma system (MT1501), but I haven't used it. I'm not sure how they would compare :(
