Wow, that's great information, thank you! :thumbup:

Thank you. :D

Thank you!

Thank you for the info.

Thank you so much Lanny. I hope I find the answer to a question I asked, but no one answered.

so what are these downloads? I really don't want to download something unless I know what it is.

Thanks so much .

They are information in the Microsoft Word format concerning all things embroidery. Good for you being leery of opening strange items. These won't harm your computer.

Thanks Lanny, I needed a good basic information thingy on embroidery machines needles and the like.

Very useful. Thank you. On the same topic, I just saw that www.embroiderydesigns.com is having a $1.99 sale. Lots of Sunbonnet Sue designs.

My question that no one responded to is this: I bought a design pack of quilting designs. I have a Baby Lock Sofia 2 with a 4x4 hoop. Wondering if I need to hoop individual QAYG sqaures to uses these or if there is a way to use them without the hoop.

They are on various emb subjects, i.e. hooping, needles, etc..

They're Word docs.

Generally speaking, you need to hoop them.

Thank you so much for the information!!!

Being new to machine embroidery I really appreciate you posting these. I am sure it will help me to learn more.

I just searched through all the embroidery posts on this forum and came across www.bunnycup.com They are offering tons of free retired design sets. I spent hours downloading! In order to show my gratitude I purchased a couple of sets only to find that during April, it's Buy One Get One Free! Wow! Happy, happy, happy!

I am glad you started this thread, I have a question, I am new to this I just purchased a Janome 10001 a friend of mine that has been embroidering for a long time showed me how to set up the hoop my question is do you always have to do a top layer over the material and when would'nt you have to and what is the purpose of doing the plastic over the top of the material? I am anxious to hear your replys

Thanks for the information. I am strongly considering getting an embroidery machine

I was unable to see what you had to show us. But I have a problem with cotton. I had tried to do the YAYASistersbestfriends embroidery pattern. some of the embroidery cottons kept breaking which is a pain considering it takes over 90 minutes actual sewing time. Is there a better brand than others to use or should they all work OK and I have some bad cottons.

Thank you thank you.

Thank you for the information.

Hi Sharon,

I attended a demonstration last year and the demonstrator said we should use a layer over all embroidery, but she was trying to sell her product.
I have never used a layer on top except for towels. In agreement with the demonstrator I use one on the back as well as the front for towels.
