I'm fairly new to this website and am trying to find reviews and/or comments on the Pfaff Creative 3.0? Anyone either happy or unhappy with this machine? I've searched the Internet but can't seem to find much info. I'm basically a self taught quilter so haven't had much exposure to the quilting society in my area. I'd appreciate any info,thanks

Looking for some advice on free software to convert embroidery designs. I personally use Embird, but have a friend who is just learning some embroidery and needs to convert emb. formats, so looking for free software before perhaps moving on to a $$'s program.
Thanks. |

I think the reason this thread is not used so often, is you can't find it because there is no sticky. Any one have a way to pull this up quickly? I love this thread.

I recently sent (another) PM to PatriceJ about making this thread a "sticky"
In a word I was told "NO" But here is what she did have to say about the topic. (This is directly from the reply PM that she sent to me) [h=2] Re: pinned embroidery thread? [/h] again and again ... there is absolutely no need to limit discussion of embroidery in quilting to that one thread. it is not a forum. i don't mind if you and the other embroiderers keep it all in one thread, but i can't help but wonder if you are doing yourselves a disservice. i imagine it would be difficult - if not impossible - to sift through all the comments to find specific information or advice. threads about embroidery related to quilting would go under Main. others would go under General ChitChat.

I think the reason more people do not use this thread is because it is so difficult to use. Really 309 pages! That's larger than most best selling trashy novels! I don't see how anyone can find answers to their questions or response to their comments. Why don't the managers of this website do a better job of managing this?! I would love to see the answers to questions but how do you find them?

Now tell me if I understand this correctly, please. If I have a question about embroidery--say machine embroidery on a crazy quilt--I can put that in Main. If I have a topic such as what program do you use to change formats that would go under the general chit chat. Correct? Or like the one person who was asking about a frame size to use on a particular machine that would go under general chit chat. If that is the case then that is certainly what I am going to do. I've tried the yahoo groups and I find yahoo NOT user friendly and the groups are very difficult to navigate also. |
For the scarf I would also use the sticky back stabelizers. But I wouldn't hoop the fabric, just the stabelizers. The hoop line dosent like to come out of some fabrics.

I have a Brother 780 with a 4x4 and 5x7 hoop. Had this for about a year and a half. Really enjoy using it but the stabilizers are the biggest problem. I get the hoops nice and tight but probably 3/4's thru the designs, there will be some puckering. I'm not always satisfied.
