  • Jumps and Trims

    I received an email and it said “I can’t figure out why I have all these trims at the top of the A and in the centre of the triangle. Can you explain why this happened and how do I get rid of them?” They had been digitizing a design...

  • "DUH"

    I am sure we have all had one of those “DUH” moments. The moment when you realize there is a much simpler way of doing things and if I had paused a moment and thought about what I was doing I might have saved myself a ton of time. I was looking...

  • Rolling with the punches

    I showed up at the atrium that had been set up to do my presentation CSI. It's a fun presentation for me to do, starting with me putting on my lab coat with the embroidered CSI and Dr. House on the chest. We look at a series of designs and analyze...

  • So I'm Having a Bad Day

    So I am having a bad day. Am I not allowed? We can’t be perfect all the time, how boring would that be. I think we all need to remember the world didn’t stop turning because someone didn’t get their embroidery. Don’t get me wrong...

  • I Like Borders

    I recently had a client that couldn’t understand why I had put a satin/steil border on a large filled in area that was the same colour as the fill. Their comment was “The artwork and proof do not indicate any outlines, did you have a reason...

  • PXF VS DST

    PXF VS DST. I guess to understand the importance of the PFX or POF and a DST file it’s important to understand the difference. The DST file is a machine format and doesn’t contain the information that was originally inputted to create the...

  • I'm Telling Mom!

    I’m telling Mom! My brother called me a “techno-retard” Mom always said we had to settle our own arguments but that is pretty rude and all because I don’t have a Blackberry. I don’t think I want to be constantly in touch...

  • Embroidery Software Filters

    Watch out for those filters. I delivered a design to a customer and a friend of mine who was visiting her noticed the design didn’t look that good. Thankfully she insisted my client get in touch to find out what the problem was. The design was lots...

  • Do you play with your Run?

    Here’s a question for you. How many times do you change the run stitch length during a design? Embroidery being what it is that will be very design dependant but the thought crossed my mind as I was doing a design how versatile running stitch is...

  • Time on my Hands

    Oh oh, I have hit a lull in my work load. That means I can start calling new folks for work, call my existing clients for a chat and ask for work or I could get on and do those things I keep putting off. Clean the office is right up there with my most...
