Ironically, I see another post where getting a key for older programs is impossible. Does anyone know how to "save" the key so that if the computer crashes or whatever we can still activate our programs? Won't help now, but it'd be good to know for th

I had the most amazing experience. I was near our local hospital and the Thunderbirds flew over in formation in honor of the care givers! Now I know how they got their name. I know that they fly every day to practice normally, but to do a fly over a hospi

Just how many different brand threads do you have? Seems that I have bought threads to get the "perfect" color that I want. But because of the different mfgs. I have a lot of different brands and they don't necessarily play well with each other. Ever t

Does anyone do Mountmellick embroidery? I'd like to use that style, but am having trouble getting the right cotton yard for it. I'm very intrigued by this style of embroidery.

I want to alter the neck line of some of my tshirts. I want a deep scoop neckline. I thought I'd just cut the fabric in the shape I want. But, I'm not sure how to bind it, expecially where the new neckline meets the old at the shoulders. I was thinking

I need advice on how to hem tshirts. I keep getting wavy results. I use my serger to finish the raw edge, but when I turn it under is when I have stitching problems. I'm clueless about how to fix this problem!

I just read on a website that if the design isn't dense enough to use a thicker thread. I've never heard of this before, and I'm unaware of any embroidery thread that is "thick." Has anyone done this?
