I recently saw a promotional video on Facebook for Blue Gem Embroidery doing bag charms with 3D Puff. This inspired me to make my own bag charm using an embroidery design I already have. Just another way to use all those great files you already have. You will need a basic digitizing software - Embrilliance would need Enthusiast for the Knock Down Stitch and SA1. to create the line stitches and the final cover stitch.

Why is it that sometimes when you create a design file there is a funky line running across the design? How does that happen, why does that happen – And why can’t I always make it go away.
Join me this week and we’ll talk about it!

There has been a lot of talk about 3D foam in recent weeks. Steps to create files, new techniques, new textures. But with all of this there are some basic guidelines. And that is what we will cover this week.
I look forward to seeing you all there!

Just a follow up to the 3D Foam dicsection.
I ran two sets of numbers using two different thread weights, each with three density settings.

Hello Everyone! I have a story to tell and a new Facebook Profile.
In an effort to separate church and state aka personal from business - I created a Facebook Profile under the User Name: Needles McKee.

Hey don’t laugh. A very good friend of mine made the suggestion when we were playing
a game of “What would your gangster name be.” And she said, Needles – Needles McKee.
and it stuck – between us. And now I am going public with it. Jennifer – things just got real!

I want to make a formal invite to all of you that know me by embroidery, digitizing, crafting, business – Coffee and Conversation – all of you to Friend Request me. I hope to see you all there.

PS. Again, to keep separation between personal and business – I will be removing friends from my personal account. Please understand – it’s nothing personal – just business 😊
