I’m running Inkscape as flatpak on Kubuntu 24.04 and I wanted to install.the Ink/Stitch extension, but somehow this doesn’t seem to work like it did on the apt/ppa version. I’ve tried the script install from inkstitch, and I’ve tried to manually copy the contents of the tar.xz to the extensions subfolder in home/.var/<inkscape> and restarting inkscape, but no luck so far. I was hoping someone here could give me some helpful tips to try? thanks!

        If we had a few more people, we could start a lemmy community about inskstitch, so we could exchange our experiences.

          hmm that’s an idea, we could try an inkstitch thread here first maybe? lemmy isn’t that big, so splintering it too much too early might not be ideal.

          I actually have embroideryware (windows, seems unmaintained now, horrible GUI but pricewise doable), that and brother canvas workspace for my cm900 are the only two things I run wine/Bottles for still.

          I’m hoping to get rid of both with Inkscape (ink/stitch and inkcut, haven’t looked too much at the latter yet, I’ll try stitch first).

          Do you happen to know of any tutorials for absolute inkscape noobs?

            You got a point. Perhaps a dedicated thread or maybe a generalized machine embroidery community would be a better starting point

            I never used embroideryware, but I’ve been using inkstitch consistently for my work, and it has been great so far. The only thing I tried to do, but found no option, is cross stitch, but I have been thinking about trying to code that and contribute to the project

            About the tutorials, sorry, I know none of them. I’ve been learning by experimentation and trial and error
