The ladybug towel that I showed in the last post was made to test a monogram that I made using Monogram Wizard software as well as the addition of the ladybug design in Husqvarna Viking's 4D Pro embroidery software. These are the two main software programs I use to customize and personalize all the embroidery that I do. When creating a new design, I test sew it to ensure that the final stitching will work perfectly on the item or garment that the embroidery is placed on.While the 4D software allows me to see on computer how the design will stitch, nothing can replace stitching out the design on fabric.
I wanted to show you how the machine ties off each colour and switches to a new colour seamlessly. The Babylock BMP9 machine has six needles, each able to hold a different colour thread. Also, you can see the LCD control screen which shows where the stitching is taking place on the design, the colour number being stitched and the time the design will take out. I have to admit that I feel a bit like Captain Kirk from Star Trek when manipulating the controls. Pushing 'go' is still an adventure.
Please share your comments or questions. I would love to hear your what you want to learn about machine embroidery and any ideas you may have for future projects.
