<p>For that, you can use Inkscape and add a free extension called "<a href="https://inkstitch.org/fr/" target="_blank">Ink/Stitch</a>"</p>

If your image has many details, you'll have to wait until the preview in stitches is loaded. It may take a while... Mine did.

<p>Once the preview of your image is loaded, feel free to change the parameters to get to your desired result.</p>
<blockquote>In my case, I had to try several times and still didn't get what I wanted. I wil try again later and add the complete parameters used on this page.</blockquote>
<p> First we used the original parameters and then, as we were getting a bad result, we changed the angle to 33 degree and deleted the underlayer.</p>

<p>Once you're done with the parameters, save your file and upload it on a USB stick.</p>
<h4>Preparing the materials</h4>
<p>To embroider you will need a fabric surface, some stabilizer, the right hoop (not too small) and the threads (specially made for embroidery = shinny).</p>
<span class="image object">
<img src="../images/hoops.jpg" alt="...">
</span>
<p>What's great with the machine is that it tells you what hoops you can use for your design (once the file uploaded on it).</p>
<p>Just take the frame, seperate the 2 hoops (inside and outside) and place the fabric on the largest one (the outside one) by making sure that it overhangs on every side.</p>
<p>Regarding the stabilizer you'll use (here it was a water soluble one), place it underneath or above your fabric and make sure it is also overhanging the hoop on every side.</p>
<span class="image object">
<img src="../images/stabilizer-placed.jpg" alt="...">
</span>
<p>Put back the inside hoop on the fabric and inside the other hoop and tighten them all enough together with the screw so that you can pull on every piece of fabric (+stabilizer) to tense it enough that the needle won't have any trouble working on it. It must be as tense as a drummer.</p>
<p>Once done, place the frame on the machine by inseting it in the mechanism on the left.</p>

<p>Now all you need to do is press the launching button and let it work until it tells you by some beeps that it will work on a another part of your design and that you'll maybe have to change the thread color.</p>
<p>And that's pretty it. It even cuts the threads when needed.</p>

Unfortunately, in my case it wasn't so easy as I had troubles with the stabilizer and the parameters. I had to make several attempts and stop the machine several time before it was somehow "ok". The result is clearly not so good but I will have to restart another day as I'm not having enough time at the moment. But I promise I'll do it again soon ! ;)
