I can not say thanks enough for this video......and i have only watched the first few minutes. I now know how to use my Embrilliance software to create files to be used with my new Cricut maker to cut out fabric for applique. That was one of the main reasons I purchased the cricut was to be able to cut fabric. Thanks again!!!!!!!

That's interesting. I didn't realize that Cricut didn't retain the svg object dimensions as they are when downloaded. But that's not a big deal if you know what size they are and can re-create them in the Cricut cutting machine. How odd. I'm glad I talked about how to determine the size of the object now using the Brother Canvas. Thanks for the input!

It didn't seem to be but I've also cleaned the mat several times so it's not as sticky as brand new. I have had a brand new FSS pull HNB off the back of the fabric before. Until it is less sticky, I put the fabric face down (leave the paper on) and mirror the design before cutting.

Should I use SF101 on all the background fabric? I know you did on the Red, White, & Bloom quilt. I’m just not sure when to use SF101 for in the hoop quilting and when not to.

@PowerToolsWithThread 2 жыл бұрын

You should use it for dense embroidery stitching inside of a design. This one didn't require it. But heavy stitches will cause pulling of the fabric and the SF101 minimizes that.

@PowerToolsWithThread 2 жыл бұрын

It sounds like there is a gap in the placement line somewhere. Cutting machines need a complete solid shape to make a cut file. Copy the placement line and paste it into a new tab. Then zoom in and really inspect the line. I bet you find some gaps. You can also print that placement line page, then fill in the gaps with a pencil and then scan in that page into the SNC to get your cut file. Good luck!

How do you know the size? My Cricut brings in the files really big.

@PowerToolsWithThread 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, all applique files will have a Placement, Tack Down, and Final stitch. You'll always use the Placement file to create the svg because it is closest in size to what you want. Using a Cricut, you'll need to upload the design to the Brother Canvas and click on each one and write down the size of the svg like I showed in the video. Then when you import the design into your Cricut, if they have changed, you can resize them to exactly what they need to be. It's an extra step, but it's worth the trouble.

It is not recommended to resize these designs as they probably won't work out. However, I've done a video on Embrilliance Enthusiast that shows how to split a design so that you can make each half in a 5x7 hoop. If that is your largest size and you don't think you'll be getting another machine anytime soon, then perhaps Enthusiast might be a good investment for you so that you can expand your skills and embroidery projects. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/it16hramvdjKloU.html

Hi! Becky I finally got so frustrated trying to use my 2 different softwares, both PE 11 and Premier Plus to convert the cut file into a sag, I bought both Embrilliance and the thumb nailer. When I followed the video and saved the placement stitch as an appliqué sag it saved it into a Microsoft edge file? I am stuck, what do I do now to get it to the canvas work space? Please help me if you can! I am trying to make an sag file to cut out the BOO.

@PowerToolsWithThread 2 жыл бұрын

It looks like an Edge file because svg is not a native file type to Windows so it assigns that icon to it, simply because it doesn't know what else to do. But you can upload that file into Canvas. It truly is an svg and it will work.😊

I was soo frustrated after spending 2 days trying to make svg files in my other software programs. It was late at night when I wrote. Today I was able to make the boo block svg, and stitch out three blocks, and cut the fabric for the rest of the blocks. I am actually making 2 placements for my youngest grandchildren. I did 2 at a time using your color sort method. Again thank you. I am learning a lot from your videos.
