Running stitch Unicorn

We start with this image , downloaded as a png from https://freesvg.org/1539642047 :

This is the result :

with very few effort….

The svg file contains all the steps

• Image Layer: starting image

• Step 1 Layer :Vectorize with Path/ Trace bitmap

These parameters were applied

Very important: chose “centerline tracing” as detection mode

• Step 2 Layer : improving the path
  • Path/ Split Path
  • Extensions > Ink/Stitch > Troubleshoot > Cleanup document to remove the very short paths ( 20px was chosen)
• Step 3 Layer: Embroidery parameters
  • Select all paths,and set stroke style to any dashed
  • Extensions > Ink/Stitch > Params.

Chose running stitch length, and bean stitch number of repeats.

You will see a lot of thread jumps.

• Step 4 Layer

  Extensions > Ink/Stitch > Tools: Stroke > Auto-route Running Stitch enabling only “Add nodes at intersection”.

  Underpaths are added and now

Extensions > Ink/Stitch > Visualise and Export> Simulator to check that only two jumps are left between eye and body.

Remark: The starting image is very high quality. When it is not as good, before using the Auto-Route extension, you may wish to use these Ellenn Wasbo’s extensions (https://inkscape.org/cs/~EllenWasbo/resources/)

• remove duplicate nodes
• remove duplicate lines

that are even more useful that their name suggest.

You may also benefit from simpliflying the paths.
