[...] Leave a comment May 23, 2011 A long time ago, when I first experimented with Inkscape, I tried HeathenX’s Screencast on this stitching effect but found it difficult to recreate. I have a little more experience now, particularly with the [...]

Thanks for a great tutorial. Well explained and nicely paced for those of us just discovering our way with Inkscape.

@Darth_Gimp – what do you mean ‘on the plate’? Forgive me, I’m slow. Or so I’m told.

Would love to see a screencast on the the plate…

@MWUK

I knew exactly what you were referring to when you suggested it. I also lifted the license plate graphic that I posted to flickr from PSHERO too. What a great resource that website is. I love it.

Hey heathenx,
Thanks for answering my request from the Flickr pages… I spotted this tut at PSHERO too (as i use it for Photoshop), but didn’t know how to interperate CS3 methods into inkscape methods(although i regularly use CS3 for some stuff- My icon for example).

This should come in useful for my school DT project!

Thanks,
MWUK

@Ben

Yup, that makes perfect sense. Great tip. I figured that the crafty would figure out several ways of going about this. I thought of a few myself.

Richard and I have been at this for about a year and a half now. Before we existed here we were posting individually on YouTube. Our videos are still there. When you get to YouTube do a search for “Inkscape”. You can find some on blip.tv too.

Richard and I do not advertise much and that’s probably why you hadn’t noticed us before. We a bit “word-of-mouth”. As of recently, you can also find us on Graphics Planet and LinuxPlanet.org and we uploaded a few over at ShowMeDo (< - these guys have a lot of great content).

Glad you found us. Hope you enjoy what you see.

Hey, awesome project and well presented! I was just linked here from planet.gnome.org… I can’t believe you’ve been doing this so long and I’ve never seen it before.

When doing the “pinking shears” effect, I found that an easier way to do it is to create a rotated square and make Tiled Clones of it in a rectangle, then delete the clones inside the rectangle. Then you can Unlink the clones, Union the squares into a single path, and Difference it from the background rectangle. Does that make sense?

I also stalk you guys’ blog, and I daresay 90% of my knowledge of Inkscape comes from hours of watching and rewatching these videos <.< Keep up the good work. Pattern Along Path was the first effect I learned, so I’m attached to it, and it’s awesome seeing it get even more attention.

Dood, I will never stop reading this blog.

This particular tut will help me with a clothing website that I’m designing right now.

Many thanks, keep up the good work.

To compensate for the bitmap pattern ‘stitches’ artifacts, increase the bitmap oversampling setting in the preferences.
