It’s got the information on each object that says “fill stitch this, with every other square at a 90-degree angle, with underlay and some pull compensation.” When I create the embroidery file (PES, for me), I get a file that consists of color changes and coordinates for every needle-down, but that doesn’t happen until the very last step so I can resize my shapes all I want before that. An Ink/Stitch SVG, on the left, is a vector. With a vector file, you can resize it to your heart’s content, thought some special features might need a little tweaking by hand. It’s kind of like bitmap versus vector: you can resize a bitmap to a certain extent, but there are limits. Your store-bought embroidery files will almost always be a ready-to-stitch file. If you already know about fill resizing, skip to the end for a discussion of faking it in Ink/Stitch (or please, leave a comment telling me a better way if you have one!) The short answer is “yes/maybe/yes,” but that “maybe” was too long for an Instagram comment so here’s a little more about it for people new to embroidery. “Do you think Inkscape would be an option for a beginner to combine/resize/edit existing designs?”
