Singer Futura Embroidery Seminar coming at Jenny’s Sewing Studio

Sunday, March 24th, 2013

June 1st and 2nd 2013 Jenny’s Sewing Studio will hold a Singer Futura seminar in Salisbury, MD at Hancock Fabrics. I hope you will join me as we explore the use of the embroidery machine.  This seminar is designed to benefit the brand new user as well as those who want to brush up on their skills. Class is limited so enroll early.  Call 410-677-3461 to enroll at Hancock.

Teddie is a student from the November 2012 class.

Irene is a student from the November 2012 Futura class

 

Singer Futura Embroidery seminar will be held June 1st and 2nd 2013 Saturday 10-5pm  and continuing Sunday 12- 4pm. Singer has introduced quite a few Futura models and I will cover how to use them all including the CE150, 250, 350 or the XL400, 4-1, XL550, Futura Quartet or the SESQ6000 and more.  The software for all the machines is basically the same except the multi-hooping. I will show multi-hooping appropriate for the model you have.

You will cover how all the basic embroidery functions like loading a design, centering, printing a the template for positioning, changing colors, use the design browser, copy and paste designs, use the embroidery anthology, change the screen color, load the hoops, use the grid, use the lettering engine, learn the draw package and more. I will also cover all the options. Learn to use the auto punch, Hyperfont and Photo stitch. Once you create a design we will edit it using editing option. Make lace, make a simple applique, and add texture to your design. If you own the options you can create along with me. If you do not, watch the demos.  If you are interested in purchasing the options, order about 2 weeks before the class to make sure you get the option and have it loaded on your computer to use in class.

The Futura’s must be in working order and all software must be loaded in a laptop and ready to use. If you own an older Futura, all software updates must be applied before class. If you have a Futura CE100/200 you will need to upgrade the software before taking class. Jenny’s Sewing Studio has the upgrade for purchase.

I hope to see you in Junel ! dates are June 1st and 2nd 2013. Class is $150.00.
Call Hancock at 410-677-3461 to enroll.

Taking a class at Wor Wic Tech

Tuesday, February 12th, 2013

I have just finished a class on Windows 8 at Wor Wic Tech and really enjoyed using the new Windows browser.

Some neat new tricks can be achieved with applications on your computer. The new Windows 8 system is an extremely different way to use the computer. The apps are called tiles and can be grouped, added or removed to give your computer the personalized appearance. The apps take you to the internet, news, weather, or to use of your games, or office programs instantly. Using your mouse you would scroll the app to see the “whole information ” or with a touch screen you would swipe to see the entire screen. To get back to the start menu tap on your windows key on the keyboard or swipe to the lower left and see you start menu and touch it to find home.

Touching the Windows button on my key board always brings me back to the  start menu if I get lost. 

Windows 7 is also running on the desktop. The desktop is available as an app. If you enter the internet from Windows 7 the title bar look more traditional.  You can pin tabs to the bottom of your screen for easy access to programs and sites you love to use.

One of the uses of Windows 8 is to interconnect many computer devices into one by using the cloud to store information that each device can see at any time. If you have a cellphone, a computer, or a tablet they all will benefit. I have yet to explore this.

I love Skype. I have found that calling people lately on the phone is hard because the sound quality is poor. I have been struggling to hear what they are saying. With Skype and my head set I can dial them up through my computer and have a very comfortable conversation.  Email me and I will call you when I am on-line. jenny@jennys-sewing-studio.com

I have found most of the software I owned need a new driver for windows 8 so ask your manufactor for more information. Both Singer and Compucon Stitch and Sew have upgraded me to Windows 8 with new drivers.

I still am working on the email. I am not comfortable with any one  new email browser. I will let you know what I find out as I discover the new system. I have been working on it since November.  In April Wor Wic will offer more on Windows 8 and I plan to be in the front row of class.

Till then….
