This is "sew" much my one kitty.....he tries to ride my embroidery hoop while I am embroidering. When I won't let him do that he lays beside it and it nudges him while it moves and it is hilarious.....his head vibrates along with it and he looks like a bobble head figure....his momma must have road the railroad cars when he was in the womb....LOL..not tested, but will be soon......

Thank you "sew" much, this is a really cute design. Our cat doesn't like the sound the machine makes so she stays away from the sewing room when I'm working, but LOVES to hide out in there when no one is in there.

One of mine either sits on the window sill or on a pile of fabric (of his own making!) and watches the machine moving.

Thanks so much! My guys do this, too, to say nothing of Lucy trying to catch the needle while it's sewing. Needless to say, I don't babysit the machine, I babysit the dagnab cats! I can't close the door to my sewing room, and probably wouldn't anyway, they keep me such company. Hugs, Marji

I have a suggestion for others with PED Basic for pes files. My card will not read it if it is in capital letters. Maybe that is your problem. I change all my PES files to .pes and my card can recognize them. I hope that works for you because it is an easy fix. Jan

What an adorable design--and the story behind it is even better! I will remember it and chuckle when I stitch this out, and every time I look at it. You do such a wonderful job, it makes me wish I could get into digitizing, too.
We had cats while out kids were at home, but we travel too much now we're retired. I miss all the crazy/endearing things they do, and all that pets add to our lives. (I told my husband that when he's gone, I'm moving in at least seven of the furry critters!)

I used to keep my students entertained with stories of our cats and kittens, then I'd bring the cats in for the kids to meet at the end of the year. Good times and fun memories for both the kids and me.

Thank you so very much for sharing both your beautiful designs and the wonderful story about your cat! It made my day!

Oh yes - cats behave that and other ways. Thank you - it
is so cute! I am very sad and worried about my cat. He
had to spend the whole week in animal hospital. Tomorrow
morning we can bring him back home but he still needs
medical treatment - antibiotics and so. Still he has
blood and inflamation particles in his urine. He is only
5 years old and was such a strong beautiful cat and got
sick so suddenly. We had to bring him into animal hospital at midnight as an emergency. I also guess
this will be very, very expensive.
But what is this in comparision with the terrible
things going on in Japan and before (or still) in
New Zealand. We should pray for these poor people

Why will my PED Basic PES not pick up any sewing data from your designs? I love ALL of your designs, but I cannot get ANY of them to come through. Can someone please HELP!!!!!

basketkase by basketkase 07 Jan 2011

I feel so bad for you....I don't have a clue how to help you, I know nothing about PED Basic....I hope someone can come through for you!!!!!!

osueo by osueo 07 Jan 2011

I love ALL of your designs especially your cat designs. As a cat lover and cat mom, I see one of my animals in EVERY design you create. I crashed my computer in PED Basic about a week ago, and every one of your designs crashed with it. I have tried AGAIN to download them numerous times as well as your new one here. NONE of them will download at all. I am SO disappointed. If anyone has any idea why (my husband who is a computer close-to-guru can't figure out the problem), PLEASE tell me/him what to do to recover/reclaim those wonderful creations.

PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE

gaefrost by gaefrost 12 Apr 2011

Have you tried asking someone who specializes in recovering data from crashed computers? It could be something really simple that was overlooked, or you might have to take it in for them to work on. Our hard drive crashed and a discount computer repair shop recovered ALL of our information, and fixed the problem, for a very reasonable amount.
Good luck!

You must have one tough hoop. If mine bumped into a cat it would throw the alignment all out of whack. Love the design. Now if I could cure my addiction and get off the computer, I could do a lot of stitchin' My 3 cats aren't allowed near my machine, but I don't mind one in a lap while I'm watching the machine do its thing. Thanks.

basketkase by basketkase 06 Jan 2011

Yes, Sammi is darn lucky it is a strong machine with a huge embroidery field.. it actually pushes him off the end of the embroidery module when it moves to the far side towards him. He just waits for it to move back and he get back up on the module when it moves back over to another area....
