  • Re: How much to charge for designs

    Thanks Carolyne (beautiful name!). There is so much discussion on what to charge for embroideries and your information is very good. I am not certain what you mean by a 'full back,' could that be the back of a shirt or jacket? Some of us, however, are doing smaller jobs and just getting started...

  • Re: which digitizing software people are using

    Hi Lollie (et all), PE Design (Pallette) version 4 and version 8. It's been a while, but one of the reasons my wife got the fancy machine (babylock ellagio when it was top of the line) she loved the idea of photostitch.

  • Re: design density

    Marge- I am unfamiliar with Custom Works. However, I can give you a few generic tips that may just help you get the most from your software. Check where you purchased the software and request lessons. Commonly, they will ask you for your specific question and attempt to answer just that single question...

    The center yellow and the towel yellow (excellent match) is just wonderful. Pat

  • Re: design density

    I believe some of the software programs might do this for you, but I don't know how to do that as a matter of my knowledge. One thing you might consider would be to use a lighter thread. I am assuming you are using a 40# type which is the most common. You could use a 60# thread. It is not something...

  • Re: What fabric brand do you recommend?

    Along with lots of stabilizer, when I embroider squares for quilts, I heavily starch them and make sure I outline the design area. I also with very dense designs try to, as much as is possible, stitch the inside colors first. Linda
