Hi y'all, Is there anyone out there that uses PE-Design to digitize? If so, and you are willing to offer some help, would you please e-mail me. I am trying to put a black outline on the outside of some designs and I'm about ready to pull my hair out - grrrr

I use PED too but generally avoid outlining for the same reason .. frustration. Use the open line tool, choose a running stitch and click just inside your design's edges. If your design is mostly fill stitches, then selecting each colour's area and adjusting the stitch attributes to include pull compensation might help to keep your outline where it should go, however it can take a few trial stitch outs before you get an outline exactly where you want it, or that's how it seems to be for me. Good luck, you'll get there :) xXx

Duh, and here I thought I would be able to help. Should have scanned and read lol.

For those of you who have PE design you can learn to digitize at the yahoo group Memories in Thread. You can also visit her website.
http://www.memories-in-thread.net... She even has some free lessons and offers a free group lesson of the month for 10 or 15 dollars. Plus you can buy her video tutorials and she has begun to teach Next.

There is a yahoo group with Sue Lough, Memories in Thread, that you can join to get tutorials, and also there is a video of tutorials that is also good from Carol Price. Carol also a website. I will add a few links here for you to check out. The link at sewforum gives several sites that I checked out. I was given the Carol Price video as a gift, but have been too busy to study it yet:>) Good Luck!

Go to the top of the community page and you will see a tab at the top that says Private, open that and click on private message. Put her user name in the TO: and type her a message.

take a look at the response above. I have taken all Su Loughs lessons. She just does not teach how to do the outlining.

Sorry, I can't help, but I hope someone can.
