My New Year's Resolution - "do not buy any more fabric until you've made all the things you have in your stash." Me today : purchasing the fabric and simple shapes for the Calico Garden Quilt-along. 🤣
You explain everything so well Becky. 🥰
Lots of really great information here. Thanks Becky! This is super helpful.
Great informative videos! Thank you!
You give us so much info! Thank-you sooo much!🥰
Thank you for this video, Becky!❤
Brilliant video! You explained everything so well!
you explain things so well,. I love your videos
Great job explaining!Have fun on the cruise!
Thank you for clarifying the Scan n Cut info.
Great info for those ready to start this ( or any similar ) project for the first time!
I truly appreciate all your knowledge and taking the time to share it. Decided to order the Scan n cut with Embrilliance stitchartist 2. Your tutorials are invaluable. Have a terrific weekend. 😊
This has been sooooo helpful! I will now go and upgrade my stitch artist 1 to 2! (Using your link of course!). I would love to do this embroidery sew along…. I know you will keep me “ on track” and understanding how to do it! Thank you for all that you do…. You are an inspiration!
Wow! Wonderful presentation as usual with a lot of information! I can hardly wait to start! Have a safe and enjoyable journey! 😊
Thanks Becky looking forward to watching this series of videos. The quilt kit is out of my price range but will enjoy learning especially the scan and cut ♥
I need to.find my simple shapes.. Great way to organize them Becky!!! thanks
You are truly an outstanding instructor. Thank you so very much for sharing your time and expertise. What an excellent video ❤❤
Thanks Becky! I think my mom would love this quilt…I have a Luminaire and feel much more confident to do the appliqué now. Have a wonderful cruise!
Thank you that was helpful for me!
Great job in explaining everything. See you on Sew and Sail 12!!
Thank you Becky…. I am a returned newbie to sewing, quilting and embroidery who also owns a Scan N Cut and have spent hours looking around my machines to see how everything works. Very good advice to people with one or more machines.
Thank you sooooo much. I understood everything you said!!! Yay!!!! I must be learning. I have a Lori Holt pattern I am going to do along with you after your cruise. So I should be able to "catch on" to my Scan and cut. Have a great time on your cruise. You are the BEST teacher!!!! I think it is your military training.!! Love you!!!
Good information .
OMG I want to join you but have 2 other Lori holt applique quilts in the works …but I will be following your videos to learn all I can. Love your channel 💕
I ordered the templates.
Sew excited 😊
Where did you order the templates?
@@beckyblackburn2753 I found them on Etsy. There are multiple selling them so I checked price and went with cheapest one.
My templates got here in 2 days.
You are talking Greek to me, but I still love watching you. I want an embroidery machine one day but I am thinking about getting a Scan and Cut soon. ❤️
Because Lori Holt quilts are amazing
That quilt is going to be so cute. I am going to watch this with great interest. Great information today on the process. Thank you, Becky. BTW, I was listening to an old song the other day, Ode to Billie Joe, and the girl in the song is named Becky Thompson.
Really? I'll have to check it out! lol
@@PowerToolsWithThread Yeah, it is a song by Bobby Gentry. I am going to learn it on my guitar and I noticed the name. lol
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have had the Scan N Cut DX330 for a year now and have not use it. I am a bag maker and would love to cut the SVG files but dont know how. I have asked several different people but no answer. You have helpedme! Now I just need to figure out how to cut the vinyl! (Not HTV!) Thanks again!!!💜💜💜
I'm in your situation. And i can't get Canvas to talk to my SNC... 🤨
Becky your a ⭐️. Please please please come to New Zealand and do some classes :-)
Thank you for ALL your videos even though I’m a Janome user but I do have. Scan n Cut 😊
My scan and cut works with my computer and then I use the Bernina Embroidery 9 software , and when I am finished I can send it thru my computer right to my Bernina. I was jealous of you so I update and get the new and improved Bernina software that comes with the unit to receive my finished product. I love it.
Thank you for your willingness to help. I have the Brother PE770 embroidery machine and the Brother scan & Cut.
While what this video is about applies overall, with the PE770, you will be limited to 5x7 designs only. To do the Calico Garden, you will need to become an expert at multiple hoopings and embroidery placement.
An alternative to SF-101 is SewFuse interfacing. Its less expensive and comes in much wider cuts. I got a huge roll of it for Christmas and will be giving it a try for background embroidery.
Thank you for the info on faultless craft spray, the Best Press odor is an issue for me
Thank you! I use Art&Stitch Plus for the software to create these embroidery files.
Thank you Becky about explaining on how to iron fabrics. When I iron my blocks they do get distorted.😢
Cause you don't iron them per say you press the down and the lift straight up down and back up no side to side or moving the iron
Becky, FYI, My Connection now works with the Brother Stellaire and maybe the 1055X, though they the Stellaire does not have the blanket stitch, unfortunately. I have to go back and watch your videos on that and make it work with my Stellaire. Thanks for your great videos.
Thanks for the info!
Get a grandchild to help you . . .😂. Heavens, the next gen of “the VCR” programmers,
SnC works with the Baby Lock Solaris 1-3 models, too.
Becky, I watched this video again (so much good info) I am still am not sure about 987F - why or when would I consider using this substrate?
a special thanks regarding steam and ironing! very helpful indeed.
The 987F isn't a substrate. It's a poly fusible batting.
Thanks Becky! I have an older version of palette software which I can’t upgrade anymore… I would have to buy new version… so if that’s the case I might as well check out other software… can you tell me (again) which software you use?
You'll like Simply Applique for this process. You can get it at allbrands.com
Hi Becky, love your videos. What is the minimum hoop size for this quilt project?
That depends on the block size. The pattern isn't out yet so I'm not sure.
i qiilt on both single and multineedle machines
Becky, another really, really good tutorial! I have heard of lot of this before on your video's (back when you were located in the other room), but I think because I was so new to machine embroidery and sewing and all, it didn't all sink in. Today, the way you presented everything; I really got a lot of it - it made sense, and I understood what you were talking about. You are a fantastic instructor. Absolutely fantastic! I always look forward to your videos!
Wish I was going on the cruise, but too much going on at this point in time. However, I know you and those attending will have a wonderful time! A huge thank you and looking forward to February 5 or 6th. Unless you do some videoing on the cruise! thank you!! have fun
So glad it's making sense now. Sometimes you just have to hear it over and over. ha ha I'm sure by the end of the Calico Garden, everyone will be an expert!
Thanks for the information! Just have one question, would I need to purchase the Embrilliance stitch artist if I already have the Essentials software? Or can I just use the Essentials to make the appliqué pieces?
You'd need Stitch Artist 2 (not Stitch Artist 1). Essentials doesn't have the ability to import vector graphics. Once you purchase Stitch Artist 2, just register the serial number on your Embrilliance screen, restart the program, and you'll have the ability to import those fcm files from the SNC. Stitch Artist 2 has all the tools of 1 and then some. bit.ly/3Qv2HZk
My problem is using the Simply Applique software. So many functional buttons to learn.
Many viewers tell me that they watch my videos and pause it at each step so they can follow along very slowly. It's helps them. Enjoy!
Will you show us how to do multiple hoopings and placement?
Sure, I'll do one of the blocks on my 6x10 machine. The easiest way is to print out each piece on paper or DIME Print & Stick Target Paper and then place the piece where it needs to go on the background fabric. You need the crosshair in the center of the design on the paper to know where to center the needle.
You have inspired me so many times and you still are! Thank you
Please tell me where you got the small pressing mat you use under your hoop ,when pressing a Applique?
Here you go. You need to use the drop down menu to choose the right size for your hoops. bit.ly/3QoP4ut
Do you recommend embrillance stitch 2 over simply appliqué? I have embrilliance essentials.
I think for those who don't have a scan n cut...if they have a scanner on a printer, they can scan it that way. If they don't have that either, if they have a library, they could help scan it to a USB stick.
I used to think this as well, but unfortunately just scanning with a printer/scanner won't work. You have to get that image into a graphic format like an .svg and scanners don't do that. Once you scan it, you'd need to make that image into an svg using a program like Photoshop or Gimp. Once you make the svg, then you can upload the svg file into Brother Canvas and it will download the image as an .fcm file that can go into Simply Applique software. It's the long way around John's Barn, but it can be done.
I have a Solaris. To do the Calico quilt would it benefit me to purchase Simply Applique or is there a way to do the same with Pallette 11?
Hi becky, i have simply applique and i was just wondering you know when i click convert to applique, it always comes up in an awful green colour, do you know how i change that default colour so that it will always set to that colour ?
Try playing around with the Thread Pallet creator on the Tools tab.
I have watced this several times and am still confused on Simply Applique and Embrilliance Stitch Artist 2. If you have SA2 do you need Simply Applique. Or does having Simply Appliques make it easier or quicker?
In short, no. If you have Stitch Artist 2, you don't need Simply Applique. They do the same thing when it comes to this process and SA2 is just as easy.
Will the Brother ScanNcut SDX125e work with this type of application also? I didn't want or need the Disney version.
Becky I'm confused because in much earlier videos you said you created svg files on the brother scan and cut . So when are you creating the svg files
Here's the video :-) th-cam.com/video/-lS3yYgO0qw/w-d-xo.html
I am getting closer to getting a scan n cut. Are you still going to sell your older machine? I am interested.
I sold it already. Sorry!
I have a Baby Lock machine (Solaris 3), Pallet 11 software, a Windows laptop, and a Brother SDX325. Can I do the same thing with Pallet 11 that I would with Embrilliance? So basically follow the exact same process just with different embroidery software?
I found the Pallet 11 manual online and it does allow you to import vector graphics (svg) files. But you'd have to play with it to see if it will create the applique placement line and final blanket stitch. access.babylock.com/palette11/en/Palette11.2_EN/#!/04_1936129/04_193612904_1936129
@@PowerToolsWithThread Thank you so very much❣️
Becky, where did you get the kit? FQS doesn't have it in stock yet.
Is there a way in BSE4/Simply applique to remove overlap when you have multiple parts to your design that you have put together from your scanned pieces?
You have to import each piece separately and turn it into an embroidery design. Then merge those individual designs into a single design and the software will remove overlapped stitches.
Would you please make some v-neck t shirts? Turquoise, red, black or navy would be great. I don’t see any. Thank you
Becky - I have Bernina software, can I do the same thing on it? I have an old Silhouette that cannot be updated any longer, so am “shopping” for a new cutter and am considering scan and cut.
I'm pretty sure the Bernina software can do this but I've never used it. I did a quick search in the Bernina Software User Guide for 'vector' and there are sections for loading vector graphics and artwork and converting them to embroidery. I'm not sure if it's as easy as 'one click of a button' but I believe it will do it. If you're getting a ScanNCut from a dealer, you might see if they will toss in BES4 or Simply Applique as part of the deal. You never know! Simply Applique is less than $200 so for simplicity's sake, it might be worth it unless you can figure out the Bernina software and get it to work for you. Here's what I found. softwarehelp.bernina.com/en/#t=MainHelp%2FPART_Automatic%2Fbackdrops%2FLoad_vector_artwork.htm&rhsearch=vector&rhhlterm=vector&rhsyns=%20
@@PowerToolsWithThread thanks so much! The Bernina software works with Corel which I believe is vectors. Great idea on Scan and Cut software!
I have the fabric but can not find the pattern by itself. Where do you suggest getting the pattern only.
Is their a free dime event tomorrow
Yes! 11 Jan at 11AM CST. Here's the registration link. Hope to 'see' you there! inspiredbydime.com/products/scoop-on-in-the-hoop-virtual-embroidery-event-6
Becky, I have problems moving the piecess into the grid and laying.
My grud keeps moving or it disappears.
Do I have to go to the right side of the screen to get the pieces and put on the screen. That is what I'm having problems with.
Thank you Becky.
Gurd gid
Which software program do you mean?
@@PowerToolsWithThread Simply applique .
Becky i have problems moving my applique pieces in place.
The grid keeps moving.
I'll go back and try again.
Thank you. And I'll keep watching you work on Simply applique when you get back from your trip.
Becky, I didn't get a pattern for the Calico Garden quilt in my kit.. If I'm suppose to get it then I need to order it and who should order it from?
Thanks Becky
The pattern is called a Sewing Guide and it was just released yesterday on Lori's blog. It is free. Here it is. www.rileyblakedesigns.com/assets/images/sewalongs/Calico/CalicoGarden_SewAlongGuide.pdf
@@PowerToolsWithThread Thanks so very much. You are my right arm. LOL
I was thinking the Scan n cut worked with Dream 2?
The Scan N Cut works with all home embroidery machines.
What size hoop will you use on your single needle?
That depends on the block size. The pattern isn't out yet so I'm not sure.
I love the Chicken Salad quilt, but was intimidated by the re-hooping. I’m going to
So should I buy BES4 OR SIMPLY APPLIQUE?
They are the same price. I have a babylock. If you had this option what would you do? Since simply applique is in bes4. Will i get more bang for my buck purchasing bes4. Or should i just get simply applique because it would be easier to work with?
They should not be the same price. Simply Applique should be about half or less than BES4 because the SA is only a portion of the program of BES4. That said, I have both on two different computers. Honestly, I would recommend Simply Applique and then, when you are ready, purchase Embrilliance Essentials. You will have so much power between those two programs, you won't need BES4. You can get Simply Applique from Allbrands.com for less than $200. It will install on your computer and then save to the pes format you need for your BabyLock.
Thanks!
I have a Gypsy that works with my Cricket
Will the Scan and Cut work with the Gypsy?
I'm not sure what a Gypsy is.
Do I have to have BES 4 for Simply Appliqué to work?
No, Simply Applique is a portion of BES4 that the developers pulled out of the parent-software and made it a stand-alone program. It has limited functionality, hence the name Simply Applique. It does applique, but not much more and has fewer features and fonts than BES4. However, for our purposes, it's works great and it's all you need.
Becky, I know this is off subject, but a year ago, you showed a blanket that had dinosaurs on it. My grandson is absolutely crazy about dinosaurs. I was just wondering where you got the designs,if you could please let me know. I would surely appreciate it Jane
Oh my... I think that was a soft book panel and I made it into a quilt using a Villa Rosa Designs pattern. shrsl.com/3ve55
What will be the biggest hoop size for this quilt?
I'm not sure since the pattern isn't out yet. But the hoop size will be determined by the block size.
in regards to a vinegar bathWhat is the ratio vinegar to water?
I usually do one cup of vinegar in a mop bucket 3/4 full of cold water.
Love youu blog!!!!! Fyi,
Lori Holt and Riley lake have pulled the Pdf for the pattern. They f o und numerous errors and a ço4ding to the Riley rep, "there is also a tweak on the fabric requirement as well. They said the changes maybe done next week. I ordered my kit from a retailer that is 2,000 miles away, so I may not be able to start the sew along on time. You haVe better connections than we d9, can you update us.
I'm glad Riley Blake jumped right on this! I'll let everyone know as soon as I hear.
I used my scan n cut to scan a drawing of a crab. I used bes4 to covert it to appliqué. Changed the design to blanket stitch instead of satin stitch. 2 of the legs had the blanket stitch turned in while the rest of the crab was turned the other direction. I don’t know why this happened. Any helpful hints how to fix this problem?
That is a glitch in BES. That’s why I switched over to Stitch Artist2. You might try scanning each piece individually and then merge the designs in BES and see if that works.
@@PowerToolsWithThreadthank you
Hi I am trying to convert a design to applique in BSE4. So I scanned all the parts in the scan and cut , sent all the parts to canvas work space. Brought all the parts into BSE4. But I have 1 part that does not show the blanket stitch. I did have the whole project selected. I redid the whole process, even repeating the scanning. Still did not work.
Every once in awhile, you'll get one that just won't convert to applique for some odd reason. It's a bug in the software. I've had it happen before and it's very frustrating.
Do I need embellished software to use scan and cut.
No ma'am. No other software is needed to work with the Scan N Cut.
Did you get the Brother SDX855 for $299.? I'm trying to figure out the difference from that and the $599.
The SDX85 has a smaller on-board screen and fewer internal designs. But for the purposes of how I use the SNC to cut fabric and create the .fcm files for applique? It's perfect because it's still a 12x12 mat and the standard blade that comes with it works. Here's a blog post I wrote about it. powertoolswiththread.com/2022/07/12/which-scanncut-should-i-buy/
Will BES BLUE WORK FOR THIS?
YES! BES Blue will work the same as BES4. :)
The Simple Shapes for this quilt are $45 on Etsy. Are they reusable or other quilts or is is one and done?
I'm sure many of the Simple Shapes are used throughout multiple quilts. But there are probably some that are unique to just this quilt. Lori Holt markets different Simple Shapes for each quilt design, but there's nothing that says you can't use those shapes in other quilts.
when i BOUGHT MY simply applique IT ONLY SHOW COMPATIBLE UP TO windows 10 so I didn't upgrade
It may have said works with Windows 8, 10, etc. but it will work with Windows 11 even though it doesn't say that.
Girl, I have to stop watching you as you are causing me to spend way too much money!!!!! I just bought a Scan N Cut (already had a Cricut), the Calico Garden fabric kit with Simple Shapes and I am ready to go. I also purchased Simply Applique to allow me to convert my applique to machine applique. From one military family to another, thank you for all you do.
took my scan and cut out of the box after one year and it was broke.
Be sure to notify your dealer.
Do not cook applesauce in a insta pot like your friend JB did. See you next week end.
