sometimes it don't take much to make those drives go wonky. best to have your designs in several places. I shutter when I think of how much I have spent on these designs
So fun and addicting.

I'm wondering what backing you put on an embroidery design when you want it to be a patch? Like the embroidery designs you can buy in the store that have the backing on them to iron onto anything? Hope this makes sense?

All my designs are stored on external drive (passport). These are available at the office supply stores less than $100.00.
There are 1,000's of designs on mine and the storage capacity is still generous. You also want to have an extra back-up every 6 months or so depending on how often you add more designs.
Then I just move the individual stitch designs onto the USB for your machine. New technology in EMB machines allows wireless downloads from the computer. No USB needed. Fun stuff!

Rhonda I hope you meant that you copy the design to your USB, not move it.

I have a Babylock Elegante II, which I have used to make lots of zippered bags and other ith projects. I love this for an embroidery machine! I recently bought a Simply Sixteen long arm machine (haven't quilted a quilt yet, only practice pieces). I was using the Elegante II for quilting- I think it did a good job, but I wanted a bigger toy :-) For embroidery I have made lots of gifts- embroidered towels, pieces for framing, etc. An embroidery group would be great!

Carly,
Yes, that should say "copy" onto the USB.
OOPS!

Oh, these are wonderful! I am hoping to get an embroidery machine for Christmas, and your quilts have inspired me to not lose sight of my objective. I want to use embroidery to enhance my quilts, and I am thankful there are affordable machines that do the work. I learned to embroidery, and quite well, when I was a girl; now, at age 72, my arthritic hands prohibit hand-embroidery. Thanks for the inspiration!
