Thread LIne
rupiglet2000
Thread Exchange is having their semi annual pound sale and I bought
some. I recieved some Marathon and Arc thread. I also received a few spools of a brand called Airplane. Does anyone know anything about this brand of thread? Have you ever used it? Does it stitch well? How about breakage? Does it play well with most machines? I have a Brother machine. Phew now that I have spit all that out. Thanks for your input. Marge |

need blank clock design
John Cook
Now that sounds stupid, doesn't it? What I need is a design that has a very small mark where the numbers need to be placed. That way, I can put whatever design I choose for the numbers and be assured that they will be in the correct position. I do not digitize, I do not sell at craft fairs, I do not do anything for profit period. I am strictly a "Sunday Sewer". I won't be using this knowledge to compete against anyone. This is a promise. The largest hoop I have is a 240x150 for the H/V (HUS) machine, so anything bigger will not suit my purposes.
If anyone wants to take pity on my plight, but worries that someone else my use it against them, please feel free to send me info off group. You may reach me at dj_cook@... Thanks so much. Denise |

Pam, If it is your own blood you can use your own spit to get it off. That

One piece of advice I was given for removing blood is to use some of your spit as apparently it has something to do with your DNA it does work as long as it is the same blood as the spit Judi ---- Original Message ----

Re: Thread storage
wandlebury
Pat, on 4th Feb you said "I'm ready to go shopping as I have mine on racks,
some of which are for small thread spools and the mini-con embroidery threads are very precarious and often fall off!!". I too had this problem until someone suggested (ages ago) that I use pieces of drinking straw (I cut mine into 3 to give just that little extra length) fitted over the "spike" on the rack will hold the spools. It works like a charm. If the bases of the spools are wide I alternately turn them upside down to make maximum use of the rack. HTH short term! I like Sue's DH's solution because it keeps the spools dust free so I am going to go and hunt down the UK equivalent of the materials and boxes he used for Sue's system. Thank you Sue and Sue's DH for this wonderful idea and for sharing with us. Diana in the UK |

More Postcards & an Owl Window @ BFC !
Kerrie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't forget organza to give your design collection a whole new look! Most designs can be stitched on it without stabilizer (a big plus). Use it to make curtains, table runners, aprons or a great vest with lacy designs to wear over a favorite blouse. It also washes beautifully. I have a curtain I made with my geisha designs and it's been washed many, many times yet looks like new. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW DESIGNS: All new designs are on INTRODUCTORY PRICING (except fun sets) and all have FREE SAMPLES. *POSTCARDS - ALL OCCASION* Due to many requests, we've created a set of cards for all those occasions that pop up during the year. The lettering is all done as a separate color stop so you can eliminate it and add your own - or just have the design on the front of the card. *WINDOW - owl* by Fred Piercing eyes amidst lush green foliage. Another must see Window set. *WINDOW - FLORAL EXPRESSIONS III* This picture features a huge pink and white water lily surrounded by lush green leaves. ANOTHER SQUARE HAS BEEN ADDED *STILL LIFE* by Fred A pre pay set of 9 designs with beautiful light and shading. These are also available in 4x4! ONE MORE DESIGN HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE SET! *FLORAL GARDENS LACE* Designs taken from a summer garden to adorn all kinds of items! There is even a sample curtain with a deep border done on organza (without any stabilizer - easy) *POSTCARDS - JAPANESE* *POSTCARDS - VICTORIAN VALENTINES* *POSTCARDS - ART NOUVEAU LADIES* *WINDOW - GRAPES* by Fred A picture of ripe lush grapes to make a wall hanging or great table cover. They go well with the Wine and grape designs we have on sale this week and can be combined to make larger wall hangings, table linens or curtains. *PAISLEY FLORAL LACE* *BUTTERFLIES* by Fred You get both a picture and individual designs in this set of beautiful realistic butterflies. *FLORAL EXPRESSIONS II* FLORAL EXPRESSIONS II - ELEMENTS* New Sales *** Ends Next Tuesday 12:01 AM Eastern US Time (1 minute past midnight Monday night) Small Birds & More Small Birds Eagles & Wolves Portraits - Horses Fantastical Fish Art Deco Fantasy Intro Pricing Ending Ends Next Tuesday 12:01 AM Eastern US Time (1 minute past midnight Monday night) Floral Expressions II & Floral Expressions II - Elements Butterflies Ancient Russian Florals II Postcards - Art Nouveau Ladies Kerrie askkerrie@... |

The rest of the cubs are already up and playing! Letter blocks spell out b-o-y, g-i-r-l and b-a-b-y with, what else, a bear to celebrate the new addition. See them at and be sure to stop in to see the new Fairy Bears faces too. All of these designs are included in the February 25% off sale! Collections are included in the sale price too!

Hello everyone!
I am just giving a reminder of the sale at Audrey's Embroidery Buy 1 Get 2 Free Sale on all my design sets. I will be posting a new a In The Hoop Valentine Favor set today. Remember to watch for Free designs on the site. The freebies won't always be on the free design page, sometimes they will be with the set that they are from. I have been very busy with opening the Boutique Shop, so I have not been doing much designs in the past few weeks. We are looking at having the Boutique Shop online by the end of the month. The Boutique will be all finished items for sale and taking orders for Special order quilts also. I will still have the Embroidery Design Sites. I also wanted to let everyone know that we are still accepting Donations of fabrics, quilt blocks or quilts for the pregnancy center and the NICU unit. We are also now looking into doing some lap quilts for the cancer unit at the hospital were my mom went for her treatments. My daughter just learned how to knit on a round knitting loom and she is making baby hats for the NICU for preemie babies. My husband and I have been helping her with some too. I am knitting and crocheting some for her and my wonderful Husband is doing them on the looms with her. If you are interested in helping out for any of these wonderful projects please feel free to contact me at poohbear70p@... in the subject line put "Donations". Thank you Audrey Http://audreysembroidery.tripod.com Http://audreysembroidery2.tripod.com |
Re: Need advice on crazy computer problem PLEASE!!!!
Hi Sharon,
I had this problem a few years ago. If my memory serves me correctly, I had to unstall WinZip and then download and reinstall it. Hope this helps. Pam M. --- In HookedOnEmbroidery@..., "Sharon" <stitchinginblfd@...> wrote: have been using this same computer for 2 years and downloaded many designs and now all of a sudden I'm having a problem that I can't figure out. When I click to downlaod a design, I do not get the usual download box, but it is automatically opening the file and putting it in my temporary internet file. I DO NOT like this at all since I am so careful to scan all downloaded files before I ever open them. I am not given a choice as to whether I want to open or save....it's just doing it's own thing....without letting me have a say-so.....just like my kids...LOL! what is happening or how to change it back. Has this happened to anyone else and if so how did you fix it? I hope I am making sense to everyone.
