I am that heretic being in this forum. I am a . . . hand embroiderer!
I would like to be able to turn—for my use only, not distribution!—machine embroidery patterns into line art so that I can turn them into hand embroidery.
I can do it by tracing the pattern, but it takes a very long time, and satin stitch is especially nutty. In the pattern I am currently working on, the endpoints of the stitches only bear a vague resemblance to the actual line of the edge.
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this, or should I be in the "Beyond the Basics" forum?

Thank you!
The same question has been discussed in the Ink/Stitch GitHub issues. Here a link (in case somebody else is looking for it): https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/issues/1827
Yeah, I know. That's me, too!
So far, I can find no way to reverse satin stitch. . . .

That's a though one. There is no automatic tool (yet?). I'd go and redraw the satin outlines with the bezier tool.
