The hardest thing I had to do when I first started using computer programs was to find the support I needed as a newbie. I was surprised how little help there was out there for any of my programs. I had to search out help/lessons by myself. My sewing store that sold me my first digitizing software told me they were a sewing machine store and not a computer store. They had to promote and sell the software that went along with their computerized embroidery machines, but they really had no idea how to use it. So–it was self teaching for me! I did find a couple instructors in the world that I could attend a class by them, but it was really way over my head as I had never used a computer before, let alone understood anything to do with digitizing! But, the more I studied the more

Click on the ‘stitch worktable’ icon at the top of the screen 3. Click on STITCHING>New Design>Embroidery 4. On the toolbar at the left side of the screen, click on the little black arrow at the bottom. In the pop up menu box, click on the words ‘add/remove buttons’ Place a check mark in front of all the tools by clicking on them. Click anywhere on a white space of the screen to close the box 5. Click on the ‘drawing board options’ box on the object properties bar at the top of the screen. In the drawing board options box under the ‘stitch’ heading, set the embroidery edge stitches to ‘no stitch’

The Electric Quilt Company is a pretty small group and many of us crossover in our job duties. Whenever we would pass around a greeting card for all the employees to sign, Jan would always sign the card as “Jan-In Shipping” as if we could possibly be confused by any other “Jan.” Jan is a chatterbox of energy in our office who keeps us all in stitches (no pun intended) with her quick-witted one-liners or her Pig Latin conversations with Heidi. If you’ve ever called the “sales” line at Electric Quilt, you may have spoken with Jan. Jan lives just around the block from me and her daughters and my sons attended the same elementary school, junior high and high school. We attended school events together, chaperoned proms and so on for years. I think you’re a lucky person if you have friends at work who are also friends outside
