I have baby lock ellure'. Can the embrodery designs
from this site be used on this model? It is model ESL
I use the small disc in my machine. Thanks

I don't see why not. I think your machine takes PES and you can download it directly to your computer if you have a way of transfering it to your embroidery machine from the computer. I happen to have Palette 6.0.

Thanks Mary,
I dont have those capabilities. Just have to pay an arm and leg for new disc.

Wow that is beautiful Do all jelly rolls have 40 strips? I've seen some that say 10 or 20

I believe that true Moda Jelly Rolls have 40 strips. Many shops are cutting their own strips and marketing them as "Jelly Rolls"

I've done this before, and yes, it is a hassle. I figured out this method though: I use a few pieces of masking tape to tape the lower hoop to my work surface, then I use the template to center the block with the upper hoop. When everything is in the right place, I put the two hoops together. With a quilt, you really have to loosen the screw on the hoop so that it opens up completely.

I stitched the design out on cut away stablizer and stitched it out in mirror image , marked all the reference points, drew 2 lines to mark the center and when I was ready to stitch it out, I pinned the cutaway to the quilt. The cutaway held up through all the quilting done on the quilt.

hello

Scrap looking quilts are my favorite. What is the name of this and where did you get the pattern from. It's beautiful. Do you quilt through top, batting and backing? Sylvia
