My Daffodil doily. I have daffodils growing in my garden and wanted to have some of them embroidered on one doily as well but my machine had another idea and didn't let me embroider it properly since the start. After trying different needles, diff
I'm having problems stitching an embroidery with a Madeira metallic silver thread. I have tried different needles (metallic 12 and 14, Schmetz gold 90, and others). I have lowered the speed to the minimum speed available. I have lowered the tension from
This is the old thread stand I had and have tried to use it again, inspired by Michelle's posted photo. The shape of my Husqvarna-Viking machine is the same as Michelle's so I have attached a laundry peg on the machine cover and tried a tall spool and a
I hope that this is the right place to upload the picture of a layout I have made for an embroidery project that I couldn't embroider due to a bad back :( For this wall hanging, I have used two designs from the Timeless Teddy Bear Treasures by Sue Bo

Embird 2015. This morning, my Embird program advised me that an upgrade to Embird 2015 was available, so I did it, from Embird's site. I had Embird 2013 and the upgrade is free. The whole process has been quick and easy. Hugs, Lidia
monaels, you have a PM from me. I'm waiting for you to reply. There is a number on top of your screen (not near the flower), click on the word beside it. Hugs, Lidia

To all Cuties who use Bernina Designer 6 software. Could you please let me know if this software has the "Auto Repeat" function (like duplicating a design as many times as we want and in a circle, at the same time) as in Embird? And if so, where do y
