New Tutorials

Hello everyone,

We have 2 new tutorials that can be used with any embroidery program.

The first is by Heather Snow, and teaches you how to digitize your own
lace. You will learn how to digitize stand-alone lace (to be
embroidered on water soluble stabilizer), Battenberg style lace and
cutwork. You will also learn how to join pieces of lace with no jump
stitches, and how to digitize for 30 weight thread vs 40 weight
thread. Click through to the page and see some sample pictures of
the tutorial. Heather's tutorials are very clear and easy to follow,
even for the beginner.

The second is by Carolyn Kelly and is called Design Placement. This
is for anyone who wants to increase their skills in placing several
designs accurately on a project or quilt block. Design Placement
covers many aspects of placing the fabric in the hoop, such as grain
lines, templates, stabilizing, using Hoop Ease, using a fix or basting
tool, and hoop clips. Carolyn also covers the use if Aida cloth for
cross-stitch, making your own adhesive stabilizer, and making a
transparent template of a design. If you want to learn more about
design placement, this tutorial will be very helpful. If you have any
unfinished objects (or UFOs) where blocks have been abandoned due to
frustration with placement problems, go get it, and work through this
tutorial with it. Click through to this page to see a sample and more

Both these new tutorials are offered at a special introductory price
and are available for immediate download.
