It’s Snowing again and we are in for a lot of snow!

January 30th, 2010

The fact that it is snowing is big news here at Jenny’s Sewing Studio. The fact that we are getting over 6″ is an even bigger deal and a rarity. I am sure a lot of my neighbors to the south and north are having lots of snow too. I am just glad it is not sleeting or raining here.

Enjoy the day and have fun in the snow! It is a perfect day to sit and sew!

Brother and Baby Lock software demonstrations

January 24th, 2010

I have been learning the BES Lettering and Mongramming software by Brother and I have created a brand new video for you to see how the software works. Brother also has a demonstration of the program and if you click on the link provided you can see both. I will try to add others as time permits.

ESL lettering is a software program from Brother that is priced to give the user a lower priced version of the Brother BES program. I have also included a comparsion chart.  See the purchase link to the Brother software here!

Another demonstration I have created is a demonstration of the PE design photo stitch auto digitizing. It is so easy. Make sure you read the blog at Jenny’s Sewing Studio was the latest embroidery news.
