Ania755 ... I don't have the Janome, but I have a Husqvarna and I bought the hoop with the magnets ... LOVE LOVE LOVE it ... so much easier to move the fabric / quilt around and get that perfect placement without having to take it out of the hoop again! And when you are doing continuous borders, just slide that baby up, and slap on those magnets and hit start!!!
OMG - this is a eureka moment for me! Its just registered that I no longer need to struggle trying to squish a quilt under the top bit of the frame and having the magnets popping off in all directions! You must excuse me while I go bang my head against the table. I can't believe its taking me 8 mths to make this discovery! :shock::shock: |

Be a little careful using canned air to clean out your machine. I have a Ruby Deluxe - Viking - and was told by my repair man to not use air. It can push the dust further under the machine and jam it into spots. I bought an attachment for my vacuum that I can stick under the bobbin case and get most of the dust. Also, the cold air produces moisture that can harm the machine.

Hello everyone,
I have the 6-d embroidery software and would love to use the express design wizard that comes with the program. Problem is that it's a hit and miss when creating the design. I am thinking it is the type of picture I'm trying to use that is giving me the problem. Is there anyone, who is familiar with the software or digitizes emb designs , that can give me a direction to the correct pictures or how to convert them to the right type of file ie bitmap, vector etc or just general info period..many thanks in advance.. |
Designer's Gallery has software called Quilt Label Works, I love it and use it all the time.

Kitty, I have found the best file to use is a vector...I have the best luck with .wmf files. I did bring the file into 6D's paint and did minimal clean up.
In in my experience the sales pitch gives you the idea that you can create an embroidery design from a pic in just a few short clicks...... And even though Vikings software has come a long ways.... There are a few steps that make your embroidery design successful. i am sure there are many people on this site who are experts at this software....but you may pm me and I can share with you what I have learned.
