r/Inkstitch

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but Fill to Satin is completely broken for me. Any advice?

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but Fill to Satin is completely broken for me. Any advice?

Manually defined satin columns work fine. Zig-zag to satin works fine. Stroke to satin works fine. But no matter what I try for Fill to Satin it either does not do anything at all and has no error or associated message, or in the rare instance it does create a satin object, it's so wrong as to be useless. I just downloaded the Fill to Satin playground - https://inkstitch.org/docs/satin-tools/ - and grabbed the A, tried to use Fill to Satin, and it just turns into THIS.
These are the settings I have in my Fill to Satin
Every tutorial I watch goes the exact same way. Make a fill. Make another object for the rungs which use strokes instead. Select both, hit fill to satin, it replaces the fill with a set of rails and rungs that make a satin column equivalent to the pre-existing fill. I have not even once gotten it to do anything like this, even directly mirror the tutorials. Every other function in Inkstitch is working fine for me.
I'm running Arch Linux and I'm pretty sure I used the AUR to install Inkscape + the plugin. Is it possible that the current build is bugged?

I can't digitize this line-art for my dear life.

I am learning digitizing and when creating a lineart I just outline it in photoshop. convert to vector strokes in iliustrator and then I put it in inkstitch. But I always end up with 100 jumpstitches or the outline not looking as smooth as it is in the vector version.

I tried Redwork, but it removes the "doted" line that I want in the final product (showcasing in image). Please help, I use Inkstitch since I am on mac.

How’s the quality looking to you guys?

I’m pretty happy with how the fill turned out on Lisa and how sharp the "VOGUE" satin text stitched, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Anything you would have done differently regarding density, pull compensation, or stitch directions?

Keeps crashing, Assume I know nothing about computers.

I do have inkstitch installed, but wasn't running its function at this time.
