Thank goodness i found this. Been looking to get into embroidery as a small business as me and the wife needed a change of pace. Invested a few thousand dollars into a Janome memory craft 550E and got digitizing software with it. Only after many hours of struggle (i was seriously up until 2am last night bagging my head against a wall) do i now realize i have so much to learn and i have answers as to why my designs are stiff and distorted. Also bobbin thread has been showing on top etc etc. Signed up for the trial immediately and am hoping i can learn the hatch software as i am currently despising artistic digitizer jnr atm. Wish me luck (August 13 2022)

This is a wonderful start to understanding the basics, and I look forward to learning so much more. Thank you for all you do!

Where did you buy the digitizing software.?

@ydoomenaud Ай бұрын

I left this field in 1999 before fabric assist was a thing, but I'm grateful it exists now so that a single design can be reused without manually altering stitch settings in an EMB file. Not surprised Wilcom remains the industry leader; we started out when it was still a DOS application with a puck-based digitizing board and our digitizer pool was 50/50 art school grads/production workers to ensure creativity while avoiding horrendous problems. I'm sorry I had to transition to another field (relocated to somewhere without a local shop) but I also think I left at the top of my game. I might have mentioned the importance of double running stitches on wearables, but we were a polo knit shirt shop. Good video.

My daughter bought it when she was 12 years old and used it's out dated software for her in home embroidery business. Now that she is married and moving on she gave it to me. It still works amazing so I finally invested in Hatch software! I still use 3.5" floppy discs to transfer my designs.

I'm watching this today 4/13/22 as I learn to use my Elissimo Gold II. I purchased my first machine in 2001 a singer, then my second one a used Ellageo, in 2010, finally I got my current machine this year. So I'm a bit behind in learning digitizing. I purchased digitizing software back in 2012, but now it is no longer supported by the manufacturer, so I'm playing catch-up and have been traumatized by unfriendly programs that are difficult. I hope I learn at least the basics by watching this.

I have an Ellegante, I saw you mentioned Ellageo and Ellisimo Gold, which I believe is also Babylock. Which digitizing software did you get in 2012 & if you've purchased something new recently, which one was it? I originally (2012) looked into their software, but at that time, it was out of range of affordability

I have been stumped on digitizing for 25 years plus. I have invested tons of dollars into software that has left me hanging. I got promises from dealers that never came through once I bought their product. I have been sewing since 1958. I have been making men's suits and shirts, all my kid's clothes until they entered high school and then some, wedding gowns, formals, boat covers, car seat covers and headliners, design and sew handbags for 55 years and so on, but this is the one thing I can't get. I even hang drywall and do carpenter work. When I need something, I build it. I still can't get digitizing. I am old now and it's on my bucket list. I am going to come to you and if I don't get it this time, it's the one thing I haven't been able to do with all my arts. I do stained glass and paint as well in all mediums. I paint on fabric. I'd love to be able to add embroidery to that. This video is great. A lot of the stuff I knew but there is also a good deal I didn't know, and I really appreciate this video. It's very clear on the subject matter. Thank you so much for your time and caring. It shows.
