WOW, one of the things I feared has happened. I was in the middle of finishing a design and the power went out. I couldn't find the exact spot to continue ;< Now I will have to add some BLING ;D

Hi, that same thing happened to me on a large complicated design and I couldn't go back to where it had stopped because I had moved the design combination around too much. Now if I combine designs or rotate or enlarge or reduce, I put the whole creation as it is into the memory of the machine before I start to embroider. That way the whole thing can be opened up again and I just go back to where it had stopped since it's still in the hoop. Oops my method sounds like Castelyn's so I guess it works. Here's hoping it doesn't happen again unless bling can cover it up. Good luck, Carol
24463Hi Monica,
With all the power cuts that we have had,
I have learnt to save the design that I am busy with direct onto my machine, as I do not always stitch them in the same position as the original download. So when the power comes back on at least the design is in the correct place.
I can then just click onto it and fast forward to were it stopped.
Hope this helps others.
Hugs Yvonne
132773I do like katydid do not take it out of the hoop, go by colors, what color was in used before this happened, then I go forward till i find the spot, it always work, living in Dominican Republic where the electricity it is the worst of the entire planet I have to do these steps a lot, i do have my machine installed to a UPS too and do not used my machine with the inverter, so my embroidery time is limited to regular power only.

26714When I was living in Florida, I was advised to plug my computer into a battery backup. Since 2 of my machines have computers in them, I bought a second one for them. The backup system helps to protect against surges, supplying an even current. But it also gives power to the machine for little longer so you have a chance to note where you are at.

169064Don't take it out of the hoop. Look at the thread on top. You know what color you are on. Sequence through colors and then sequence through stitches until you get to the place where your power went out. I often turn the the machine off between color changes, but it is a little more challenging to stop in the middle of color. You can do it. Kay

The thing about this design wasn't the color but it had a lot going on in that area and I couldn't find the spot. I've found the spot in others. The BLING got it LQQKing GOOD ;D *2U

36693wow, is your machine alright?? I have had that happen many times with my computer but if I hear thunder at all the machine goes off. Thankful that the other day when the electricity went off for over an hour, I was on my computer, not my embroidery machine. Don't want to find out what would happen then. Hopefully you can cover it with bling and no one will ever know. Happy sewing.-.-.-.-.-.
