A Beginner's Guide to SVGs and machine embroidery applique cutters

In this video, I am going to show you WHY SVG's are awesome and why you want them for your machine embroidery applique, and I am going to show you the difference between a JPEG and an SVG.

SVG's are what you want for creating cut files for machine embroidered applique. Once you have an SVG what do you do next?

I start off with the Brother System: in other videos, I have worked with the Dream Machine and the Scan N Cut DX225 cutter - which work seamlessly together to pre-cut your applique fabric. In this video, we work on the computer in PED 10 to create an FCM file so we can send it to the cutter.

For all examples, I am working with a Kreative Kiwi design and working with the applique pieces. Kreative Kiwi will be adding SVG's to the files at some time in the future.

You can get the design that I am working on here:

If you don't have the Brother Scan N Cut system, I move on to the Cricut Maker, and their software Cricut Design - which is a free program to design on the Cricut maker. Upload the SVG, insert it into your document and then make sure it is the correct size. Then cut!

I also quickly open the Silhouette Cameo software, the basic free edition and quickly discover that this version does not read SVG files! You have to pay to upgrade to the Designer Level or the Business level to be able to work with SVG's.
