I have ten posts per page. Maybe yours is set differently. My pages are set up to get 39 posts per page... I am too lazy to keep clicking pages over :D:D But, what you say makes sense. Others have made the same comment that is why I wondered what was wrong with me. Thanks for putting me straight!:D |
I am staying here and going to the new thread also, Don't want to miss anything.
|
Is it just me or is this a really hard thread to navigate? If you start at the first page you get messages that are 2 years old, if you go to the last page, you have to go backwards to find out what the person is talking about. I find it very frustrating.
|
If you go to the top of the thread and go to subscriptions, you can set it for instant notification by email or a daily digest. I have instant since there aren't too many posts here. That way when you click on the link for the thread, it will take you to the post after the last one you read.

I have a Janome 300e and I'm am trying desperately to learn to use it. I have gotten all the basics but one big problem is getting designs lined up correctly. I want/need to make a label for a quilt that I have ready to gift. I used one of the built in designs on a piece of muslin. It is a flowered frame...a design that is built into the machine. WELL, I was surprised that I wasn't able to go to the wording and type in more than one line. Then I was short one letter of being able to put just "Made by Pat Smith"....the "h" wouldn't fit and I was using the smallest font. Then I decided I'd just write the "Made by" on one line and put my name on the next line and the date on a third line. But then I don't know how to get the lines all lined up. Am I making any sense? I don't want to invest money into a digitizer program at this point. Is there any way I'm able to do this otherwise. I have downloaded a free program that was suggested on this post called Wilcom and was so happy that I am able to view the designs on the computer instead of having to guess what they are by the file name/number. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Pat |
I'm still learning how to "get around" here. I am so glad I found out there is a group for machine embroidery!

Does anyone on this thread have and use a Viking Topaz 30? I have one and love it but have been nervous about using the embroidery. I live in a long distance from the closest Viking dealer so am unable to take any classes. It would be so helpful if there is someone on here who could mentor me.

I really and truly admire all of you ladies who read instructions. I do. No fib. My first embroidery machine was in the box for a couple of months before I took it out and got going with it. In retrospect, I might have avoided some things getting tossed in the trash if I had read the instructions, but ... where's the fun in that?
Today DH is home and I put him to work helping with some verrrrrry simple embroidery on one of the machines. Essentially it consists of placing a piece of tear away in the bottom and placing a strip of fabric so that the design comes out in the center third. (It's a pouch that is then serged into a simple bag with a flap - the design goes on the back of it). Mama Mia!!! You'd think I was introducing a project for NASA! This man demands precision. I told him that in this instance, precision is a time waster. Like Nike says, JUST DO IT! He goes back to work tomorrow. YAY!!! |

Mine isn't quite that attentive to detail |

LOL
A few months ago my hubs wanted me to run out and grab dinner for us but I told him no as I had the embroidery machine running and I didn't want to leave it. Told him he had one of two choices to make; 1) go pick up dinner himself or 2) take care of the machine so that I could do it. He elected to watch the machine and thread it should the thread break (again). Yes he HATES to be the one to go grab dinner. I have been doing some embroidery last week, now I just need to finish off the embroidery into the projects they are intended for. |
Well, since I cooked the last several nights ... I think it's his turn to go out ... although he is now happily serging pouches. He actually asked me to cut more fabric so he could embroider AND serge at the same time. I am hearing little bits of cursing every now and then coming from his direction, but I do NOT want to know what's going on. He's out of my hair and that's that!

Frog Quilt

Attached, I hope, is a picture of a quilt I recently finished. The eyes were to be appliqued on, but I found an eyeball to do with my embroidery machine, so used it. I really like the way it makes the frogs "Pop". Thanks for looking.

Sophie2, that frog quilt is too cute. I embroidery frog blocks for a quilt for my daughter's college graduation and I included rule of life with them. I had gathered frog designs for quite a while. Hopefully, I can post pictures.
|
Kathleen, your quilt is so cute! Now that I have worked on one frog quilt I would like to do others. I have some designs that I may put on a denium shirt.

Hi all! I hope you don't mine me joining in here. I own a Brother PE-770 embroidery machine. I bought not long after they came out, so I've had it for a while. I've made in-the-hoop projects, freestanding lace, embroidered on pockets for tote bags (and on the bags themselves), and now that I've joined a quilting guild I'm trying to think of designs in my collection that can be used on quilts. The PE-770 uses .PES files.
I also have Sierra's Era Universal for digitizing as well as Sew What Pro for lettering and design editing. You can see some of the items I've embroidered on my flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ladybee...7600581317510/ |
Sophie, your frog quilt is so cute. You must understand placement really well to get your frogs eyes to land just right.
Kath, your frog quilt for Emma is darling. |
Sophie and Kathleen, your frog quilts are adorable.
Labeelady, lovely things you've made! You're a busy bee! I also have the PE-770 and love it. |

If you join their Yahoo group you'll hear about specials and sales which don't happen often. I have several of the wall designs and they are gorgeous.

I have a Brother PE780D and I am so bumbed out. Was using it last night and was working right along and a buzzer went off that it was overloaded. I worked with it a little, but realized the hand wheel was very hard to turn. Sure hope something major didn't happen. My repair person will look at it next week to see what is wrong. Oh how I am singing the blues!!!!!

That happened to my Brother 2500D. It won't go for 6hours non-stop. However, if I let it take a break between designs while I rehoop, etc. It will go longer than I can. Just stop the machine, turn it off and let everything cool down. This is why they have the temperature overload switch in the motor. Just let it do its job.

Hi, I have the Janome 11,000. Had the 9,000 for 13 yrs, but wanted to be able to do larger designs. I use the Customizer that comes with it for sizing, downloading, etc. It is so much fun, I use it nearly every day. I will take a pic of the shirt I made DH for Christmas and get it on here soon. I like to do pants legs and shirts and quilt blocks. Also love the free standing lace, Embroidery.com has great lace Christmas ornaments. They are so nice to slip in with Christmas cards.

Almond, that happened with my Babylock once. Turns out there was nothing wrong with it at all. I just needed a rest. Sometimes if you use it too much it will freeze up. Of course I found that out after bringing it in for a check up and shelling out $125 ... *sigh* ... fingers crossed for you!
|
I have a Janome MB-4, and I love it. I would like to get a hat hoop, but it is just way too rich for my blood!
|
I have the Futura 150 and Brother 700ll and reliable oldie but goodie-PE150. I have the Ped Basic to download.
