    quilty-louise,
    I always have a problem especially with towels to align the marks. I'm going to google this and see what I come up with. I'll let you know, thanks for the fyi!

    You have to unroll quite a bit, stitch it out, then roll it back up again.

I want to learn how to digitize and I wonder if anyone could let me know about digitizing programs etc.

    I have several friends who have the Floriani digitizing program and they love it. It is pricey ($2300), but many of times they run specials ($1400.00) when they do presentations. Our local sewing machine store brings Floriani in a couple of times a year for a workshop on their stablizers and then we get the special pricing.

    PamQuilts,

    I know this is a late comment to your posting from Jan 3rd about not knowing how to do embroidery on your machine. Which machine do you have? I also have a Viking. Maybe I could help you

    Default I went from home machines to commercial ones

    I started out with a BabyLock when the only sewing field in the industry you could buy was a 4x4. Then I went to a Brother 8200, upgraded to an 8500 and then bought a 15 needle SWF embroidery machine 10 years ago. I'm on my second SWF machine and I love it! I've digitized with Brother software, Compucon and now use Sierra Expert software. I make gifts for family and now I'm starting to add embroidery designs to quilts I make.

    I started out with a Bernina Deco that Hubby surprised me with for Christmas several years ago and i had No ideal about computors or software but I learned quick,I now own a Singer Furta and a Brother PE 780D.I still have Bernina Deco that sews a 4x4 field along with the Amazing Box rewritable cards (3) that I no longer use and have been thinking about advertizing for sale as I have not used either for at least 3 years and just taking up space.But I have learned (self taught ) a lot about machine embroidery and if any one has a question would be glad to help if I can.I usely do most emb. for Christmas gifts,last year I made 13 emb. fleece blankets for the kids in our family gift exchange along with mitten pockets which I stuffed with dollar type iteams.They are still well loved.I have made FSL cross bookmarks for bible study,Old Mc Donald finger puppets,and am now working on a little girls play purse that has LOTS of fun stuff in it.
    Well I think that I've made this long enough but once again if I can help let me know and I also know of some great web sites for reasonable priced designs.
