    Default Lets see if this works

    I have an Esante 2 . I've digitized over a thousand designs, all kinds from cartoons to baseball etc. I haven't reallly done much in the last couple of months because I been quilting. I will get back to it. I was just saying yesterday that I need to go to the library and look for some more flower designs to do.

I was careful to download them as PES.

I am not a computer geek but I keep thinking that I am missing a part or something. HELP !
    I can't say I have the answer for you, but I did have the same experience yesterday. I tried saving the design as a PEC file which worked. Then when I opened the file I resaved it as a PES which also worked. Don't know why, but it did.

    I will be going to my second Floriani class in June in San Marcos. I really enjoyed the first one that I went to to last year.

    Question - today I looked at two brands of embroidery only machines. The Baby Lock Spirit and the Brother Innov-is VE2200 are basically the same machine. They do the same things and look almost identical. The Brother is a few hundred dollars less. I am interested in any input you may have on the machines. Thank you

    Babylocks are made by Brother to Babylocks specs. Unless you can see a difference there probably isn't any. The programmed patterns might be different but that is probably all.

    Singer Sewer, I own the Babylock Spirit and just love it. Yes it is more costly than the Brother one and yes Babylock does also the Brother machines. I would suggest that you test each out. If it is a matter of finances I'd go with the Brother. I got my Babylock Spirit at a "baby shower" in a lqs and got a great deal on it since I traded in my Babylock Ellure plus and she gave me a wonderful price. Good luck on your decision, its what your happy with!

    I have a Viking Diamond that took me 3 years to get around to opening the embroidery unit, now everything gets embroidered!
    I made 22 custom golf towels for my husbands annual golf trip and a quilt for the baby of someone dear to me. I am currently working on about a dozen other projects.

    I started off two yrs ago with the Ruby and then this past yr traded it in for the Diamond Deluxe. I love both machines. They make embroidery so easy and even though in between the buying of each machine I did get the 5D Pro Plus, the organizer that comes with the machine really makes life great. I love the option to remove jump option and I live it better in the Stitch Editor Plus with the full version but you can do it with just the organizer that comes with the machine. Good luck and enoy
