Re: Embroidering on cardstock
I spent a lot of time trying to embroider on cardstock you have to have
designs made just for that purpose and sometimes you just punch the design right out I found it so much easier to embroider the design out on material I used felt and hot glue onto the card stock I used pinking sheers to cut out the design so it looked nice it was a lot easier and less stressful and you could use any design Bev |
Embroidery File Viewer
PJR
Thanks to everyone who sent me info both on and off list about programs to view my embroidery files. There are several out there that look great, but I think I have found just what I needed for now - cheap and easy, LOL.
I was actually investigating SewCat, and found SewIconz. I've downloaded a trial (7 day) version, and have not had time to be sure there are no obvious drawbacks or bugs, but so far, it's great. All I really wanted was to be able to see my designs as thumbnails so I could copy, move, rename, etc. easily. I use Windows Explorer to do all that with my graphics files (.jpg, .bmp, etc) because in thumbnail view I can see thumbnails of the actual pictures. SewIconz is simple. You run it once, and tell it which files (.pes, .hus, there's a long list) you want included. After that one run, from then on Windows Explorer will show actual thumbnails of your design files, rather than just the program icon it shows normally. If you hover the cursor, you get an info box with size of design and number of stitches, also. Exactly what I wanted, and I can see all my files at once, so I can move, copy etc. any .txt or .jpg files along with the designs they go with. And it's cheap, just $15. Embird has a similar program for $20, but it's a plug-in, not a stand-alone. So if you already have Embird, you might prefer their Iconizer. Since I don't have Embird, the stand alone SewIconz is better for me for now. Thanks to all of you who sent me emails (on and off list) with suggestions, I saw some great programs to put on my wish list for later (like Embird, and Buzz Tools). But for now, this will do what I want, and leave me with some money left for designs, LOL. Merriweather (sorry to be so long winded) |
Help; problem with thread trimmer
After threading one of the needles on my PR600 wrong, I had a bad
nesting of thread in the bobbin area. I had lots of thread around the thread trimmer above the bobbin. I removed both screws that hold the knives/trimmer to clean out the thread -- of course thinking I would remember the placement. I don't have the knives in the correct position and it won't cut the thread ! Help. Can anyone email me a picture of how their thread cutter looks in their machine ? I just need to know what it should look like. Much appreciate any help you all can give. Teresa |

Re: Recent - Wal-Mart Newz

I spoke with a fabric dept.manager in my home town last week she told me that in 90 days all fabrics and craft would be gone and whatever was left would me put in the trash. She said they were enlarging the electronic dept. to take the place of the other items because they make more money per square foot on electronics than the items in fabrics and crafts..There wasn't much fabric left then. It would be nice if they did reconsider, but do they really care about families that enjoy those items. I e-mailed Wal-Mart a rather lenghty one but never heard a word back from them.

Re: Recent - Wal-Mart Newz
Sherry Caldwell
It is my understanding that the fabric won't totally be removed, but will be pre packaged like in 3 yard increments. It appears they are trying to cut out the ladies that do the fabric cutting. Some of the bigger stores here in Phoenix will go fast, but the little store we go to on 59 and Bill is going to be rebuilding so they will be one of the last hold outs until the store is redone. It is very sad to see them to away with fabric Not understanding!!!!

something has happened. The service tech at the center couldn't figure out what is wrong so he sent it in to singer. I called and told them that their training program stunk as far as training their techniciana..lol.. I just am so frustrated with everything, and my big thing is why does it take 2 weeks just to figure out the problem or rather NOT figure out the problem I know there is alot of technical stuff with these machines. I do belong to a futura group and she couldn't figure out what was wrong..she tried everything she knew to help me. It just was so strange, I had just finished stitching out a fsl heart, shut off the machine but left the software open, came back and tried to turn it on and all that would happen was buzzing and flashing lights...No warning that there was anything wrong. I am now starting to wish I had bought another brand...lol...I think I will look into it...Thanks again Gail...hugs..Barbara On 1/24/07, Gail <ladyhawknfny@...> wrote:

My bestest online Buddy had problems at every turn. She never was able to get it straightened out and ended up trading in on a singer xl6000 which she says is doing well. I on the otherhand have the ce200 and besides it sometimes being painfully slow, I hardly ever have a problem

Aloha Merriweather,

Ideally, I'd like something that will work similar to how Windows Explorer does with graphic files when you use thumbnail mode. I want to see the file structure, view thumbnails, and be able to copy, move, rename, etc. from there. that. I also have other utilities for unzipping, finding duplicates, and actually working with the designs (resizing, etc.). be many programs that do that, or perhaps even a cheap or free utility. all suggestions possible so I can finish my spring clean, LOL.
