    designer SE

    Contact

    Hi Fustrated in MARYLAND.  Recently purchased a designer SE.  Have been sewing for almost 50 yrs and have had so many set backs with this program.  I have had the machine for over 1 month.  Have spend numerous hours wathcing the CD's and reading the books and going to the VIKING galleries to get advice.  i am getting to the point of being almost afraid of this wonderful piece of machinery.  IS THERE any where I can get more step by step advice on how to do things with this machine?  I only have the 4D Organizer.  I have not purchased the additional software to do embrodery.  IS THIS MY problem?   ANY advice is welcomed in advance.  You can email me at sail4fun50!@yahoo.com.  PLEASE indicate you are replying to ANNthe Gran so I don't think you are spam.  THANK any and all of you in advance.

    Hi,
     I just got back from vacation and saw your problem/request for help w/ the software. I also have the SE..and 4D Extra software which I am still learning( It is hard).Don't give up.I am now revamping this email. I THINK you have the basic version and should be able to do many things.I tried to email you and it came back to me.

    Here is what I have so far.(this first one is online tutorials from Viking. I am told they are very helpful. I have not tried them yet but am going to)


    http://www.vsmsoftware.net/education/4D/tutorials.html


    Next I got instructions for how to access the guides that are inside the 4D itself( I know...uugghhh. I haven't done this yet either).These I got online from someone who teaches 4D.
    Go to start on your computer
    Left click computer
    Left click 4D embroidery folder
    Left click Guides
    left click reference folder
    Left click main Modules

    You will see PDF files for all programs.(have a huge supply of ink and paper.also those clear "jacket type' folder-holders,pocket type things). This is the answers to all your questions. It is step by step lessons FREE....workbook style. Many don't know these are right in their software program.
    Print what you want/are interested in learning...as you need it...or want to learn that particular thing.Then save in those folders in case you need it later.
    I am told by those who have done this...that it does truly work.They can do everything w/ their software.
    There is also a "Quick Link Accessory" file in here.This is quick/helpful reference guides....no as much work as above..probably not as much detail..but it's a start.

    (no, I haven't done it yet.I found out about it right before my vacation.I was working by trial and error..mostly error.LOL).

    I also found a freebie online called SophieSew.com. Totally free digitizing program which I figured(hoped like mad) probably works a bit like the 4D. The tutorials are step by step..great program. I know...I thought...why am I sitting here learning this free program when I cannot work the stuff I paid for.(company came over,so I had to stop.LOL).

    I have more info if you want it.You can find EVERYTHING online.Send me a message here in ATG.Give me specifics on what you are trying to do...I'll try to help.

    Ok..sorry if I rambled...I know that frustrating feeling and how long it took me to find the links. Now I,myself have to use them.
