how can you tell if when setting sewing attributes you are setting the correct density. i use pe-design and it has a default setting of 114 but is there a general rule or anything?

I'm using a Janome 9700 machine. For me, I test it out on 0 to 2 scale. So far it seem that 1.4-1.5 is the setting for me using the machine. So i will stick to it once stitches turn out great.
Previously, the threads are like looping loosely on top or bottom of the fabrics. so i really try increase/reducing the setting on my machine. i dont look at sewing attributes though.

Thanks for asking this question. I'm going to buy a couple of tutorials from Carolyn Keber. *4U

Please tell about your working progress with them

Back to the top I'm not familiar with the pe-design at all, but there will someone to come along who is sooner or later & they will help U *4U

Carla,
Carolyn Keber is an excellent teacher... I'd recommend her tutorials any day of the week. I have several for Embird and LOVE them.

i read all about her tutorials and it does sound like she makes it simple to understand. thank you.

I usually go to the shop where I purchase all my supplies, they are very knowledgeable and have helped me out many times with things I needed to know but the book does not go into.
Good luck

I'm just doing my first steps with pe-design, but density depends of the fabric ..
That's all I know

i never bought the $100.00 instruction book you can order to really understand pe-design a lot better....i've often thought it would be worth it to get it but just never have...
thanks for your comments and advice.

Loes Van Der Heijden wrote the instruction booklet i was talking about but i liked what i read about carolyn keber's tutorials...

thanks for all the bumps. my question is the correct density or general rule on pe-design 6.0 or if you know a good place to ask advice about it on the net... the pe design booklet and manual does not go into it at all.

Sweetie, post what machine and software you have. maybe someone will know.

I don't know either but thought there might be an answer. At least my non-answer will get you bumped back to the top and another flower.

don't have a clue but you need a flower.

Sorry, do not know the answer to this one. Just bumping your question back to top. Good luck
