    • @randygorr
      @randygorr 2 роки тому

      It's been awhile since I've used my embroidery machine. However, don't try a SAVE AS. SAVE AS is for saving the file to your computer only. Instead EXPORT it to your A Drive floppy. If your computer doesn't have an A drive, you may have to order one from Amazon. I ordered one with a USB connection. When you EXPORT, choose the HUS format in the top drop down window. For destination, SELECT your A Drive.

    Thanks for the run through. When you export to the floppy are you changing to .SHV or keeping the original HUS format? Did you have yo make “menu” folders like the original disks that came with the machine, or straight to the floppy drive?

    • @randygorr

    Thanks very much for this very helpful video. I have just bought a Designer 1 yesterday and the lady who sold it to me said I would need a much more expensive machine to be able to use designs bought on the internet. But I have bought one small design online to try your method and it works so far, though I don't have a diskette player yet (have ordered one) so I can't test it on the machine yet. But I have been able to export the file to the right format for my machine, so that's already one good step.

    • @randygorr
      @randygorr 3 роки тому

      I found that I could only add 1 file to the disk. I had to use a separate disk for another design. I'm not sure why that is the case, but that's how I handled it. The sewing machine will only use 1 design at a time in any case.

  • @dorothyglisson2861
    @dorothyglisson2861 3 роки тому

    Randy, I have a Designer 1 that I bought in 2005 or 06. I use it a lot but lately the "break thread" light comes on about every 200 stitches! No thread is breaking. I live too far to take to dealer. Do you think that I could continue embroidering with it even though the light comes on.

    • @randygorr
      @randygorr 3 роки тому

      That happens to me occasionally even when I'm sewing. I simply hit OK and continue. The machine probably misinterprets an occasional brief snag as a broken thread. That's my guess.

    • @randygorr
      @randygorr 3 роки тому

      Also, make sure that your machine is threaded properly and that the thread is not catching somewhere.

    Hi Randy. Any ideas how to get a jpg into the right format? That's my current issue. I've just picked up a designer one and was very excited to find your walk through. :) It helped alot. I've had a lot of fun so far, but branching out to my own images is my next exciting step hopefully.

    • @randygorr
      @randygorr 2 роки тому

      You cannot use a JPG for an embroidery file. There are various tutorials on UA-cam that teach how to convert JPG files for embroidery. You will usually need additional editing software for that. OR those tools may be available in the PAID software package PREMIER2. I have not gone to that extent in my projects yet. But my guess is that the paid version opens up lots of design tools! To avoid that time and effort, I prefer to go to ETSY and just find an actual embroidery file of an image. They have loads to choose from, all very economical.

    • @randygorr
      @randygorr Рік тому

      By the way, you might also visit a webstore like Etsy and see if there is already an embroidery file that is close to the image you want. It saves a lot of extra work and they are priced very inexpensively. Just search for "embroidery files" there for your image such as ROSE EMBROIDERY FILE for example.

      On your hoop are the measurements, 100 x 100 for example. Make sure that the setting on your control screen shows that particular hoop. You may have to click through the commands to find the hoop size. I hope that is helpful. Right now my machine is in for repairs, so can't refer to it to confirm.

      It's a dream machine. The only feature I don't like is the buttonhole maker. I'm preferring to do those on my brother heavy duty machine which performs the task mechanically.
