Creating outlines (fancy stitches) in Embird.

Made a tutorial. It's a 7-page illustrated pdf-file. Anybody who's interested, send me a PM with your email address and I'll send it.

Martine!

I'm thinking about Embird, but I've got a lot of questions. I've looked at their site, but its somewhat confusing to me. I'm running Windows7 on my computer and I got the impression that the newest version of Embird isn't compatible with it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Liz

From what I read Iconiser is the only part of the latet build (2010D) that gives problems with Windows 7, but I still use Vista so I can't tell from experience.
by starlizard 18 Jan 2012
Thanks for responding so quickly. I suppose I could email them with my questions and computer specs just to see what they have to say.

I am using Windows 7 32-bit with Embird Iconizer and everything works fine; I think it is just the 64-bit that there were a few problems with. These may have been sorted with the last update.
by suet 20 Jan 2012
Yes I am running Windows 64-bit and the latest Embird update sorted out the problems. Everything works fine now including iconizer.
by lidiad 20 Jan 2012
Sue, thank you for letting us know that Embird has an update that has the Iconizer problem fixed. Hugs, Lidia

Is anything other than basic Embird required for this please? I don't have Studio.

To send a PM go to the tabs at the top,
got to private, on right hit private message. Then, enter the persons cuties id
name IE mops, then type your message and send. That way you keep your info private
off the worldwide internet.

No, it's specific to Embird.
But, according to the 5D Design Creator manual, you can design your own motif-lines and motif-fills there as well. I have, however, not tried that out sufficiently to give you directions other than a very summary remarks in the manual.
by mops 18 Jan 2012
in the manual.

Thanks Martine that would be wonderful. I've sent you a PM.

I reckon if I could borrow you for a couple of days to sit beside me and talk me through things I would finally work Embird out!

Every now and then I'm thinking of buying Studio to be able to digitize the shapes I like, not to become a digitizer, I'm too old for that. I would like to read the instructions first and this is a wonderful opportunity. I will send you a PM, Martine. Thank you.

Why too old?? The tutorial is not meant as instructions for a beginner, but showing how to make a fancy stitch outline to be used just like the choices for outlines that Embird offers. Sue made a sampler of the latter, I show how to make others. But the tutorial is on its way to you.
by lidiad 20 Jan 2012
Martine, I meant to say that I don't want to become a professional digitizer, just to learn to do a few things. I will also read Embird's instructions, as I have downloaded their instructions file (about 34 MB or so). Thank you, hugs, Lidia

I have had a play with this function but I am not very happy with the results. I would be grateful to have a look at someone else's perspective on this. I will PM you with my email address. Many thank Suet

Had just sent it to a long list, but forwarded it to you as well.

When you play with the function remember the scale. When you set the width at 5 or 10 mm, you can easily see what size the individual stitches are going to be. Make sure they are not too short, that would give unsatisfactory results when stitched out.
by mops 20 Jan 2012
too short (a single one would not matter, but the majority must have a reasonable length) that would give unsatisfactory results.

Thank you so much for sending the tutorial, it looks great! Now to find the uninterrupted time to play with it. Three grand kids under five in the house is not conducive to digitizing LOL.

I've been playing with fancy fill stitches and have uploaded this design to DBC. My machine has been in the shop for a few days and I have a huge backlog of designs waiting to be tested!

twee you will find the private-tab at the right beside PUBLIC/Freebies/Personal and there it is: Private = PM-tab. Click on it and then at the right the button "Private Message". Now you can start :o)
Greetings, Bettina

For all that don't know how to send a PM (please don't put your private mail-adress anywhere in the internet):
There are tabs over the post in community and the last in the row is PRIVATE. Click on this and there is a button at the right side "Private Message". Click and it opens a formular. Put in the name of the acceptor (the name always with small letters!) and your message. Click on SUBMIT and its on the way :o)
Greetings, Bettina
PS: Sorry mops to put this here in your post but that is asked so often and not just from newbies ;-)
