Help me learn to digitize! I realize that this will be an involved process, but I want to learn. I have embird. What other tools do I need and where can I find the best tutorials? Is there a learning plan somewhere? I'm not in a hurry - I want to learn properly but I'm not sure where to start. How did you learn?

I also have Carolyn Keebers tuturiols (mine pe design) she does embrib as well they are very good, she takes you step by step, you can purchase from secretsofembroidery ....wendy

If you want to digitise cut work go to Clipartopolis, there's a very good free lesson on that subject. And on more basic things as well. It might be a good idea to start with the basics :)

Ha ha... its funny what happens when you go through your computer. 2 years ago (yes November 2010!) I purchased Carolyn Keebers Studio tutorial. Guess its time I finally put that investment to use!

With your Embird Basic program, you will also need the Studio 6 program to digitize. I was very confused also, and am doing good, (I think) Have gotten great remarks from the lessons I have turned in. I searched around and found I liked the Lessons on Stitches In Motion.com
... They are written well and if you need help with something, just e-mail her and she will help you. I also like the cost cause it is not near as high as some others I checked out. Also, you can pay 10 lessons at a time, I don't have a lot of time, but I am learning and having much fun!!! Good Luck, Enjoy yourself, Hugs, Judy

I do have the studio plug in - I've had it for a while thinking I would just "get it" on my own (hahahahahahahahaha). So I think I'll give it a try!! Thank you for the direction.

I am in the same boat as you. I plan on giving it a try in January. Good luck and me posted how you're doing. Susan
