Hoop it all embroidery

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

CE200 and hoop it allHoop it all allows you to expand your embroidery hooped area for bigger designs. Less hooping of larger multi part designs means a more accurate finished embroidery. It is also easier and faster.  Hoop it all works with a slide bracket that lords prayerattaches to your embroidery machine.  The hoop has a rail that slides through the bracket to make positioning a breeze. Next you place stick it all on the back of the hoop, draw the centering marks on the sticky paper and attach the hoop to the machine. A Super long hoop will do as many as 3 hoop sets in one hoop, depending on the machine.  Draw your design centering points on the fabric and then stick the fabric to the hoop it all “stick it all” sticky paper to position. It helps to print off several templates of your design in your embroidery software so you can plan the design placement. Tape the templates together so you can visually see the complete design than mark you fabric. I have several video that show the process and the end result. Jenny’s Sewing Studio offers the hoop it all for most embroidery machine in various sizes.

If you are in the market for a hat hoop , Hoop it all has the best hat  hoop on the centerprintdesignmarket  for the domestic sewing machine.  The hat hoop slides on to make positioning a breeze. A design template helps you to visualize the design location and appropriate size. Hats make a great gift so consider the hat hoop addition to your embroidery machine accessory today.

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.

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.

Windows 8 update for the Singer Futura

Tuesday, January 8th, 2013

Recently Singer has annouced a Windows 8 update to the XL Futura software! The windows 8 update has downloadable instructions I advise you to follow.  The update will work on the XL-550, XL-400, SEQS-6700, SEQS-6000,  and the Quartet (FQ-4) I have recently purchased a new Windows 8 computer and am planning to take a local community college course on the operation of the new windows system. I am getting the hang of the system but my navigation skills are poor on Windows 8 after 19 years of using the computer.  I love skype, working on Windows live mail ( prefer my old outlook express), like being able to keep web addresses bookmarked by windows but am having a hard time finding my address book.Jennywindows8

Add new embroidery lettering fonts with Compucon Stitch N Sew

Saturday, November 24th, 2012

In wire frames change the lettering to a true type font if you have the hyperfont and lettering program.

Have you been wanting to expand your embroidery font library? Compucon has an excellent lettering program that offers a font engine and extra fonts for monogram and decorative floral lettering. This is a font engine that allows the user to  shape and edit the letters as they wish. Arc, rotate and add texture, create 2 color fill in your letters, manipulate each letter individually, even make lace letters. If you have Hyperfont or the complete studio you can also add to your font library for unlimited font function. Unlike the Futura program, with hyperfont and lettering options Compucon gives you a feature to add true type fonts permanetly  to the font library.  Compucon also gives you editing built in to the lettering program so you can change the texture of the lettering or outline it or change it’s shape. Another editing function that I like to use is the “ change font feature” found in editing.  You can create a style and edit the lettering too.

So many ideas and so little time.  Make a monogram and outline the letters with editing.

See a complete video on how the lettering program works. You can purchase the smaller 35 font option or the 71 font library option. Both options are will be great additions to your embroidery machine and the lettering created can be saved in almost any format for any make or model. Here are few more video links.

Hoop it all helps you make larger embroidery designs

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

Hoop it all has several hoops that will add function to your embroidery machine. Even if you have a small hoop machine I can show you how to plan and execute a long banner design when you only have a 4″ X 4″ hoop. Here are some things to remember.
1. Hoop it all works on a slide bracket and with sticky paper.  Cut the correct paper size to fit the hoop and remove the release paper topper sheet as you place the sticky paper to the back of your hoop. Mark the center of the hoop by drawing it on the sticky paper with a permanent marker. Mark the design centers on your project using a temporary water soluble marker. Match the center lines up on the sticky paper and position the project to the hoop center marks.  Put the slider bracket on your machine. Next you can slide your hoop to the center of each embroidery with ease. 
2. You need some way to print out a template of each embroidery that fits your stitch out area. I am providing a link to free software that is offered by Compucon Stitch and Sew. You can open your embroidery in the software and print of the templates to mark your fabric with.

Here is a link to the software video and link to the download. Download the software and open the desired embroidery in the software. Watch the video and try the software for yourself. Compucon makes many great options for embroidery.

I have also prepared a video on the Hoop it all .

3. Hoop it all is made for most makes an models of embroidery machine. The hoops are custom made so allow about 2 to 3 weeks delivery time.
