First, the happy news: I put up a tutorial yesterday on using 5×12″ multi-attachment hoops. I mean, it works on any size of multi-attachment hoop, but that’s the only one I know of that works that way. I’ve heard rumors one exists for the 400e, which would be neat: I’d like to be able to […]
Not sure how much I’ll contribute; fun as it is I always have to remind myself it has to help sales. I’m hoping it’ll be a good way to promote the Adventuring Parties; first I gotta finish them.
It works! I can test-resize one of my little SVG dragons, do a Save As to a PES or JEF right out of Inkscape, turn on my embroidery machine, and it’ll be right there on what the machine believes is its thumb drive. Or for a pre-built design, I can just copy it to a […]
The Ink/Stitch lettering function is neat, but it previews all the text in a size that fills the preview box, with only the satin density to give any clue about its physical size. Some of the newer descriptions list the measurements, but that’s no help for easy visualization. I finally made a quick and dirty […]
I had really meant to get this design out there a week or so ago, and more importantly (to me anyway) get the physical snap tabs into the shop, because I put NFC stickers in there that should emulate the hard-to-find-and-overpriced Loftwing Amiibo. I haven’t found anyone with Skyward Sword on a Switch to test […]
Now that the pandemic is over receding, we really should find a roleplaying group again. Our (college-age) kid was in one Before, and I made these for the group. They came up in the “time to revise for new Ink/Stitch” rotation, and I remembered just how awful cutting out round snap tabs was – so […]
The Janome embroidery machine’s field is less than an inch bigger than the Brother’s longest dimension, but it’s square. That means a lot more space for valet tray embroidery. This week when I updated the valet tray designs and gave them their own page, I added a bigger size that maxes out the Janome’s field. […]
I feel like this is a rerun of Monday because here’s the promised freebie design, and also the mailman just delivered that Whelan tote and dice bag. And I’ve been working on a lot of mystery dragons so I don’t have much to show pictures of, either. Tomorrow’s a shop drop but I also don’t […]
My husband bought us all some “Vaccinated” pins because we’re in that weird limbo phase where we can now go un-masked most places, but also we aren’t always comfortable doing so and/or don’t want to pressure not-yet-vaxxed folks to unmask, but also we don’t want to imply that the mask means we’re not vaxxed, and […]
I’ve gotten a little stalled on revising the older snap tabs (as you may have noticed by the absence of posts the last couple Fridays) and the machine’s been tied up doing butterfly wings for so long that I haven’t done much with vinyl. But Gabe and Herbie needed some more snap tabs (and Gabe […]
