I am new, I have learned a lot. I have used the ink stitch and been able to add letters with images. Today I tried to use the ink stitch letters to add letters to a garment. The simulation looked great, file saved correctly, but the file will not show up on the machine. I tested the thumb drive and uploaded a previous file and it shows. I even tried on another machine. What am I doing wrong?
Opened inkscape. went to extensions, to ink stitch to lettering. typed my words out, organized on template window. verified with simulation. saved as a PES......
File shows per the PC on the drive, but just not showing in the embroidery machine.
I totally agree with Kaalleen. Try making the design smaller. If the outer dimensions exceed the capability of your machine, it might ignore the file. I've seen this on my Brother SE 400.

Usually this happens when the file is too big for your hoop. So the first step is to check for the size of the design.
