Just started experimenting with using my embroidery machine for quilting and am very happy! Here's my first project - for the April Doll Quilt Swap.

Yes. It was so easy and I really like the result! Here's the back. I did some initial stitching on my sewing machine to hold it in place, but I think that next time I'll just baste by hand.

Another great sale at Heartstrings Embroidery - singles on sale for 75 cents! They have lots of prim designs that I want to use on a muslin quilt. I stocked up on crows and samplers, too!

trusizer..
Do you mean wilcom? www.wilcom.com/truesizer is a free program (after registering) for resizing and converting formats of embroidery designs, and shows pix of the designs. I do not use it because I have PE Design software that does all that. But I have a viewer program for quick scan and printing off the design I want to stitch. I hope this answers your question--IF this was what you asked.

I have the older Pfaff 7570 and 2140...haven't done much embroidery lately...but do several craft shows in fall so will have to get busy. I've done kids quilts that are really cute! also lots of flour sack teatowels...especially with "dutch" designs as we live close to a dutch town.

Do you know if this program will convert from HUS or PES etc to ART format?
