It’s only a 240×240 image the larger the better, but for something this simple this should do. I’m going to copy the bitmap from Emojipedia into Inkscape. It’s pretty easy for your computer to turn a set of vector instructions into a bitmap (“draw this line along the grid, and color any square dots we pass over” and so forth), but harder to go the other way. The embroidery machine has no idea what to do with it: at heart, it draws lines. If you’re starting with a bitmap (a GIF, JPG, PNG, etc.), you won’t get any results at all – the first step is converting the bitmap to a vector.
Turns out there are a few intermediate steps.
At least once a week, someone turns up in an Ink/Stitch support venue puzzled because they loaded their picture into Inkscape, tried to export it as a stitch file, and it didn’t work.
