Congratulations, Shirlene; will check back later to see your tip. Since you're an expert on FSL, I hope your tip was about FSL, but I know you're wonderful at all embroidery, so ANY tips are welcome.

Darlene, I know this wasn't anything new to most of you - just common sense - but I have always done it that way, too.

Here it is:
Even though it seems tedious, I suggest you clip all your thread jumps in between each of your color changes. It's often easier and produces a better result - rather than waiting until the design is completed and you have lots of jump stitches that you have sewn over. What a mess that can be! I like to say -- make the back look as good as you can.

Congratulations! You must just have a lot of good ideas! Thanks for sharing them. :)
I went to the site to read your tip, but I'm afraid that I don't know how to find the Tip of the Day... I just went there, and I have no idea where to look!

Thank you dear - no more idea's or tips that most of us use or know from day to day - I just sat down and sent them in. Hehehe! Just click that link - it should take you there or look farther down - I also included it here.
Thanks for posting the link. I usually have to google their tutorials if I want to find them. LOL

Ramona, I knew that this wasn't orginal - I just knew it was something that I had been doing from the beginning - that was useful and worked for me. Glad it does for you - as well.

Congrats!!!! great tip, I learned this the hard way...I was use to cutting the major jumps so one day I was busy in the room and let a border of paws and hearts stitch out without cutting jumps, what a mess.....I've learned my lesson.
1 comment
Janet, sometimes - we do have to learn that way - we think we can slip it by - but in reality - it is just better to click as you go, less mess later.

Way to go Shirlene! I always do that and never thought anything of it! I am just a neat freak!

Congratulations Shirlene, I did that when I was sewing on Designer1 - but now I don´t have to clip any more on my new sewingmachine Ruby, she clip all the tread for me hehehehehehe

We could make use of a "Ruby" I'm sure. Would save a lot of time. Marg
Sigrún, thanks - my Babylock Ellegante2 clips the threads - but leaves a tail - I hate even the tails - so I clip them between color changes, too.
Ruby!!! I want this machine!!!!
Yes, the Ruby does that, but only when the right codes are digitised. In their lessons The Flying Needle advices to eliminate those codes as they are "only used in commercial machines", however, the newer household machines can do it too! So I leave the codes in - you can always disable the cutting function - and when the codes aren't there you have no choice.
I hate the tails, but you have to take the hoop from the machine to cut those on the go.

No tails, just change the threads and go with your Embroidery......oohh love it.

Shirlener...what an excellent tip and especially for FSL designs, even though they sometimes have very few jumps. On regular fill designs, its almost a must to trip jump stitches as you go along. Thx.

I would never think of not clipping thread during color changes on FSL - that is for sure - thanks!

Dawn you are way to funny - I think there are other's that have many more published than me.

Congratulations Shirlene. It is a great tip and I was taught to always clip as you go. It really makes a big difference when you do a very dense design. Keep giving us those tips!Take care dearie.
