Look what I learned to do. Love my new machine but they don't give you any instructions on how to use the software with it. Its a good thing I am used to teaching myself. This is my grandaughter I did away with the background and her date for prom, croped it then took it into the sewing photo program then enlarged it and did it in black and white. I used 5 colors of gray and one very light flesh tone.
The first one didn't turn out so good so here is the second (for lack of a better word) sewing art piece I have finished.I have used 5 different shades of gray and on very light flesh tone.

574Someone ask me if this was a XL400....It is a Singer Furura Quartlet. It sews beautiful like I would expect from a singer machine but love the embroidery feature with it....Have not tried to do the color one yet because of my hospice volenteering and needing to get orders done but will play soon.
Hugs Joann
11220Wow! This looks fantastic! I have the Futura XL400 and also love it. Photo stitch was included in the package deal...but I haven't even opened it yet! And it's been almost a year! LOL
I love my machine and the price was so perfect, too!
Thanks for showing hot Photo stitch looks!!

Oh for sure get out the software. You will love it almost as much as you love the machine. The machine is a little louder then my Brother and Janome but it is great otherwise.

Thank you. I tried to do digitizing also many many years ago. I have done a few but software gets old and income changes so I appericate the hard work that goes into everyone elses designs.

9846Wow! You did an excellent job for not having done this before! You're braver than I am! I think it came out great!

Thank you. I will try a color one next I think. I live in a 55+ community and a lot of the people have pets. I am going to go take some pictures of them and play with them on the machine.

Oh yes but going to try for one in color first to see which one I like best. I was thinking one of each of my grandkids would be lovely on a quilt. What do you think.
