William asks… Anyone know where I can find some websites with free cross stitch embroidery patterns, transfers, or designs?I plan on making gifts this year for Christmas, including some cross stitch emboidery. But I am having trouble finding some free patterns. I do not want the counted cross stitch patterns…just the emboidery patterns with the X’s. Does anyone know any websites to search through in order to find some patterns? I’m not really looking for anything in particular. I’ll just know it when I see it.
Moderator answers:Go to www.freepatterns.com. They have all kinds of great patterns. You do have to be a member to download them.
James asks… what is the best software to buy with which I can design my own cross stitch and embroidery patterns?
Moderator answers:If you mean embroidery machine patterns, I would recommend Embird with the Cross-stitch add-on. The package is very popular and has many available tutorials to show you step by step how to create the designs for your embroidery machine. I personally use it and find it very easy to understand and use. It has alot of functionality and versatility as well. There is also a 30 day free trial so that you can try before you buy. You can find more information about Embird as well as available tutorials at http://www.secretsof.com/ If you mean hand-embroidery and cross-stitch patterns, I personally have found that drawing my own patterns on graph paper has worked easiest and best for me.
Maria asks… Making embroidery patterns for a sewing machine?Have a new Huskvarna SE sewing/embroidery machine. I would like to make patterns for it (stitch files is what the store calls them) so I can have my own cust. designs. How do I get started?
Moderator answers:If you are referring to embroidery and not sewing, you will need digitizing software for machine embroidery. Most of the software programs do auto digitizing which requires you to use clip art or your own designs in a format such as jpg. Even then, you may have to do some manual editing. There are a few products that you can download for a trial – Designer’s Gallery (BabyLock) and Buzz Tools are a couple brands. All digitizing software will save designs in the format of all embroidery machines. You do not need to purchase the brand offered by the same company as your EM. There is another software – Stitch Era, that is free to download. It is also complex and not that easy to learn. The manual is over 200 pages and I have yet to get through it. I use PE Design for digitizing and Designer’s Gallery for editing. PE was a gift and DG came with my BabyLock. Powered by Yahoo!
