So to saw our own design using Simplicity SB8000 machine we will follow the following steps :

The Steps: 1. design your own 2d design using one of the 2d ,3d software , I used Fusion 360 software , then I export my design to DXF to be imported by inkeskape software .

Download the ink/stitch extension from here
open the downloaded file , install it .
open the design file using inkescape software , go to the extension tab and find ink/stitch and choose params .

choose the “Running stitch along paths” if it is un-checked

Click on “Apply and Quit”
Now go to “File”, choose “Save as copy..” and type the name and use “pes” file extension.
Now you are ready to take this design file and send it to the embroidery machine via USB-stick .
