I love your pot holders. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
I am a hands on learner, having said that, you need to teach in person classes!! Especially the embroidery and anything related to computers! You are so enjoyable to watch, I love your sense of humor!
Love the video, thanks Becky again!
Again, thank you Becky for sharing your knowledge. I didn't catch what type of batting you were using for the hot pad. I will be making these. Happy New Year! 2023
🤩
I think those have Wrap & Zap in them. I usually put that in my pot holders in case one ends up in the microwave.
I enjoy your videos so much. You are a wonderful instructor!
I recently stumbled upon Becky's videos. I love them! I am currently making the Santa table runner. How can anyone thumbs down these videos? Keep up the good work!
i dunno, she is a diamond,in the rough....love her
Becky is the absolute best. Love her!!!! She has so much knowledge and shares her knowledge in her step by step videos.
love that fabric
I love all of your videos! While we all would love to have a mult needle, I’m so glad that you also show, how to do these projects, on a single needle! Thank you!
Thanks Becky for the Embrillance lesson I always learn so much from you and really appreciate how clear your instruction is.
You are so welcome!
Another great tutorial . You are a good teacher . I love how you show things using embrilliance and designs by juju which I have and love . Keep them rolling please . Thank you .
I can tell you that having that quilters pad in your lap was the best suggestion ever for appliqué embroidery.
Right? Something so simple... It makes all the difference, doesn't it? Thanks!
What do I love about Power Tools with Thread? Becky !!!! You are so funny and down-to-earth, enjoyable and have awesome teaching skills...you make me believe I can do this too ! Thank you for your videos and Happy New 2022 Year to you and your family...
I just ordered the Embrilliance. I hope it is not difficult to learn. I love your videos. They are easy to understand.
Hope you enjoy it! I find it so much easier than other software programs that are geared toward digitizing designs. Essentials is perfect for easy resizing, merging, adding text, etc.
Thank you for the great video.
the hanging loop should be added after the insulbrite, that makes more sense to me.
Just following the designer's directions. :) I'm sure either way would work.
@@PowerToolsWithThread hope you didnt think I was criticizing you, was just thinking of a way to avoid the issue you had with the loop, I have made 3 now, just chaning that one step, made it very simple. Thanks for your great tutuorials.
Thank you so much for the Embrilliance Tutorial. That will help me so much!!!
Thanks for all the info. I too set up my file for my designs, but I set mine up for each designer, then their designs. But the bad this about that is I have been embroidering since latter 90's so needless to say there is a lot in those files and they're either outdated, duplicated, or I have no idea what they are...Part of my charm I guess...Since I have really gotten addicted to the ITH designs, I really need to set them apart. Also thanks for the info about Embrillance, I'll even let them know that you recommended them to me...God Bless and to steal your line, "Go Sew Something" I'm at my machine right now...
Thanks so much! I learn something new about Embrilliance every time I watch one of your videos! You’re a wonderful teacher!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for also doing Series 2! I had already purchased it when I saw your tutorial on Series 1, which I bought after watching you! I was hoping you would do Series 2...love your tutorials. I made a set of Series 1and now I will do Series 2...thank you!!
Glad you like them!
Those are so cute! Great videos! I can’t wait to get back out to sewing after my finger heals up!
One thing I’ve found to be helpful is to create a folder with my desired name(usually the name and collection number)under the drive designated as the USB BEFORE I TRANSFER the designs, so they’re ORGANIZED and STORED simultaneously.
Oh my goodness.I just made the Series 1 pot holders today. Now I need this design too. I love it!
Great educational video. I really appreciated the Embrilliance info at the end. Thank you so much.
Becky.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the Embrilliance tutorial at the end of this!
I now have it up and running & my screen looks like yours so I can easily follow along with you!
Thank you also for taking the tine to send me a quick email with help.
You are the best!
Wonderful! Yay! So glad you figured it out! lol Time to play!
Thank you for the great video! This was my first ever ITH project and I don't think I could have completed it without your informative/detailed video. I paused the video along the way so I could complete each step you were demonstrating and made it through to the finished product!
Thank you for the tutorial on the pot holders. I just made two. I have two more to make. I forgot about your tip on taping down the corners and had a little hang up. You only make that mistake once.
I just this month purchased this ITH project. Twice my foot was caught trying to sew that loop in. Finally decided to tape it & sew after putting backing in place, makes more sense & works!
Beckie I made the one I bought down to a 6x10 inch potholders but they were too small so I used the idea from Juju and made my own design for an 8x8 inch potholder. I used the different stitch designs off my sewing machine instead of the red work and made some nice pot holder sets for my family for Christmas. I had not made these for many a year. I try to watch as many of your videos as I can being stuck here at hoe --- I never go out much lately as I prefer my own environment to other places.
I would like to wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy Prosperous New form me here in a very hot Festive Queensland. Please Stay Safe and Well.
Heather Schimke
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
I LOVE THIS
Love your video's. U talk us thru it. Tip I got also was putting a board in your lap to keep everything flat while trimming. Also embrilliance mini tutorial--I don't own it---YET! I can still hope.
I can't wait to be able to buy a embroidery machine. I've used one and lube it. The potholders are cute. Thank you.
Love you so much, I've recommended you to my Daughter and two Friends. Thanks go so much info. Makes me so happy to watch you. The only thing better would be if I could update my Designer One to the machine you have. 👍❤💕😉
Super cute-look professional. Love your stuff.
Yours came out beautiful. Mine is in the garbage. Had issues with machine. Automatic thread cutter did not cut bottom thread so when it went from 1 corner to the other it took the whole thing with it. The joys of embroidery lol
Oh no! Well, these things happen. Try, try again!
Forgot to thread the needle? 🤣 I do that too!! Love your videos! Great to have a step-by-step explanation to refer to.
I love all your videos. I hop you never stop. THANK YOU!
Awesome tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about Embrilliance. I have used it but in a very limited way. I now realize how diverse it is and am excited to play around with it. This is so great.
Hey! Take your purple thang and push down slightly when the foot is heading toward the ribbon handle. It will stop that from jamming up on the tape! :) love your tutorials! Thank you for making it easy!!
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for your easy to follow steps & making everything so very clear for us!!!
Love you 💞 and I have been quilting for a while.
Thank you, these are so fun! I made 4 yesterday from ITH 1 and I just love them!
You are a thorough instructor, thank you. I have been searching for a 8x8 hoop to use on my Luminaire for this potholder. Where did you get yours, please? Thanks again for all your videos. You are my definitely go to to make anything. Keep up the good work.
New subbie! I love your personality and attitude!
Thanks for subbing!
I got the first potholder you did and will use scraps from the Christmas towel toppers I am making to make coordinating potholders. Running out of time...gg busier!
That's a great idea!
Thank you Becky! I got both potholder Designs! I really appreciate the added Essentials tutorial❣️
You are so welcome!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for your videos! They inspire me and entertain me all at the same time :)
I really enjoy your videos. They are so helpful. Time to get sewing!!
Your instructions on embrilliance is awesome! I would love more tutorials! Also, how you organize your embroidery files on your computer.
Thank you! I organize them like a card catalog by Subject.
BRILLIANT!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! N
?N… didn’t mean to put that in my excitement
Love watching! See you next time.
I am working on these right now! Love it. I dont have Embrilliance but i do have Embird.
❤️I just got both patterns...they were on sale....
You love to tempt us with the cutest patterns!😏
You are so good explaining! Good bless you and your family
Can you personalize it?
Thank you so much!
Absolutely! In the end of the video, where I show how to delete the apples, you can then add in your own words using the text feature in Embrilliance!
Great tutorial love the fabric 💕
It's your fault that I had to order a monthly subscription to Creative Notions. Lol
I even ordered Novembers. Can't wait to get them.
Thanks so much for this tutorial and the extra on Essentials is great. I have Essentials but need to learn more about it.
nice video - I love it
Love all your videos Becky. You are a real gem!!
I enjoyed this video. I might just need to get these patterns.
How much space does Embrillance software take up on a computer? Can you put the Embrillance software on a tablet? 😊 😊 😊 😊
I am new to this computer part of the video.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP! 😊 😊 😊 😊
Embrilliance is fairly "lightweight" as computer programs go. But I don't think there is a tablet version - you generally won't find full-size embroidery programs for mobile devices.
Adorable fabric!
Great tutorial Becky. Always love learning something new from you. You always make Embrillance look so easy. Love your cute little "mouse" pad! Did you make that? Where did you find the pattern? Adorbs!
Oh my...probably Etsy. It was years ago! lol
Great quick gift idea Love it!
You got 35 minutes out of me ma’am. This was a great video.
Thanks Shayna!
Good video Becky. As much as I have embroidered and used the Scan and Cut and Embrilliance, I can ALWAYS learn something new from you. Please keep up the videos, they are fantastic, yes you are a wonderful teacher !!!!! Now all I have to figure out is HOW to get this silly disc of Thumbnailer to work on my machine, tried and have not worked, so will try again. Please feel free to redo your advice on that :)
You have a disc vs. just a download? Either way, once you have it installed. Do this...
1. Restart your computer.
2. Open the Thumbnailer icon on your desktop and make sure all the formats you want are checked.
3. Click the "Check for Updates" button.
4. Close Thumbnailer.
5. Restart your computer again.
6. Now check to see if it has been applied.
If you're still having problems, recommend using the Support email function at Embrilliance. They are really good.
Great job at Allbrands training video's. Watched them all.
Thanks Katie!
You make it look so easy, thank you 💗
Don't you just love watching embroidery machines stitch? Or is it just me. I have a little brother sewing and embroidery machine combo. 4x4 hoop. I really like it for a lot of reasons but man would it be a treat to spring for a luminaire. I don't think you have had many problems with it. Is this a machine you would recommend to others?
I'd absolutely recommend this machine. The technology in it is amazing. If Santa can't bring it, you might check out the Brother NQ1600 that goes up to a 6x10 hoop for starters and keep your other machine for sewing. I'd recommend at least a 5x7 hoop and make sure it takes a USB drive. You are going to expand your horizons like you wouldn't believe!
That's hilarious, we are not perfect. Glad you didn't edit the threading of needle out.
Thanks for this tutorial! Your potholder is really darling! BTW, I have always used a gravity fed iron and really miss it. Moving can do things like that.
Love these potholders. What kind of tape do you use? Looks like a paper tape.
Love all your videos!
Thank you!
Love your tutorials, especially teaching extras with Embrilliance.
Are you planning to do any patches in the future?
Thank you.
Happy New Year!
Have you tried the sew tite magnets instead of tape? I love them. So easy to use and they hold everything snug!
Wouldn’t magnets mess with computerized sewing machines?
@@rachaelb9164 I have used them for years. never had a problem!
Any chance you could show how to make the satin edge (with hatch marks over the edge) for the chickens by DBJJ? That edging on DBJJ's chickens is amazing!
I'm stumped and would love to know how to do that. I have all the Embrillance modules but a "clue" would be nice!
Sorry no, digitizing isn't my thing. I leave that to the experts at DBJJ! :)
Becky have you seen the elegant Christmas motifs from designs by juju also. . Would be great on potholders or quilt blocks. Your tutorials help me so much.
That's a great idea!
I own a bernina and have their software, but am seriously considering changing to Embrillance, since mine is only 14 years old....
I've never used the Bernina software but I have a friend who has and she buys all the upgrades as they come out. Embrilliance doesn't charge for upgrades and they do them frequently to keep up with technology - like being able to send designs wirelessly to new machines. It's on sale through 12/13/20 for $139. You really can't go wrong and it's so incredibly easy to use. I have a video explaining it with links to the basic modules everyone uses here: powertoolswiththread.com/embrilliance
Thank you Becky for all your tutorials. I am looking for the Essentials tutorial specific to these pot holders. Am I missing something or looking in the wrong place . Can you direct me to the right tutorial. Thank you .
I show it in the last part of this very video. It's an add-on at the end. :)
Years ago I made potholders with batting and insulbrite. But it did not do the job and I couldn't use them safely. So I haven't made any more potholders although I'd like to. Have you found one layer of insulbrite to be enough?
One layer seems fine to me. I haven't had any problems.
hi there , have you try PE Desing software ? is from Brother . I´m learning it . I like it better than embrillances . take care be safe have lots of TLC .
I have a trial version of PE Design and have not used it yet.
You are awesome, you know everything! Can you please tell me how to adjust my tension on my Husq Viking Designer 1? I have changed my thread 18 times minimum for this Cactus Punch Design. I can't imagine how many while trying to adjust my tension...@least double regular changes! I have changed needles, & thread.
On the software you are discussing above, so it will let me save it on my floppy 3 1/2 drive?
Well, I wish I could help on your tension issues but I'm not a Huskv girl - totally unfamiliar with those machines and I recommend you find a tech who can come into your home and fix the machine while he sees what you're working on. I've found that to be the best way. Look around in your area for in-home sewing machine repair. For Embrilliance, anywhere you want to save a file for your machine - even your 3.5" floppy, you can save. You might have to save it to your computer first and then transfer the file to the floppy, but it should work one way or the other. Good luck!

I thought you might know someone, every time I call them they are closed due to covrd. I will try a Husqvarna dealership. Our closed closed.
Will the wireless function work when sending to the BabyLock Meridian? I just purchased Essentials and hope to get it up and running, tomorrow. Need to talk to BabyLock about the install. Thank-you so much for your videos! I love them!
No, I don't think Embrilliance will do that on the Meridian. Only the Solaris and the Luminaire have the capability to receive designs wirelessly without a dedicated app.
Hi, can you use multiple needles machine to make this potholders? I don’t have a small machine.
What kind of camera do you use? Your videos and sound are always so crisp.
It's a Sony HandyCam. Thank you!
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER BATTINGS YOU CAN USE?😊😊😊😊
The hardest part of handmade pot holders, is allowing them to get dirty. Ugh, that's the hardest thing for me. My hubby's a messy cook. Makes me crazy,
When you were doing these potholders, I noticed that your design files are categorized. Does that come with Embrillance software or did you set that up yourself. Years ago, and I mean many years ago, someone on yahoo set up a file folder with all of the designs separated into selected groups. Very similar to what yours looks like. I have a copy of that file system, but yours is much more in the hoop friendly. And lastly, you need to check Embroidery Weekly, they have a camper wallhanging that would go so well with your Lori Holt quilt. Finished it and really enjoyed doing it. You see I too am a fan of JuJu and Sweet Pea. They are so fun and easy to make and they always turn out fantastic. Anyway, thanks so much and I am so glad I found you on youtube. God Bless
Hi Judith, I'm so glad you found me too! lol I set my file folder structure up like that myself. Inside of My Documents folder (which comes with Windows), I created a file for Embroidery, and then inside that, I created my own card catalog file structure (just like a library from when we were kids). That card catalog is sorted by Subject. Inside the folder for Holidays, you'll find sub folders for each of the holidays that I have designs for. Here's a video where I explain it all and how to do it. The steps have been updated by Microsoft just a bit, but the process is the same. ua-cam.com/video/h__9mmkwGNs/v-deo.html
DOES IT MATTER IF IT IS INSULBRIGHT OR WRAP N ZAP ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE HOOP?😊😊😊😊
Can the pot holder be changed in embrillence to be able to use a 6x10 hoop even though the hoop pattern is 8x8 hoop
I have not yet figured out how to add Fonts. Is there a tutorial on that? I confess I have not searched through your you tube videos to find it!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Becky!! Do you think the potholders would still be flexible enough with two layers of insul-bright? (I always find that one layer doesn't control the heat enough.)
Can I resize this potholder to fit in a 5 x 7 hoop?
I have made some of these using Robson Anton embroidery thread, it is rayon thread. Is that okay or should I find another thread to use?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POTHOLDER SERIES 1 & 2?😊😊😊😊
Hi Becky can I ask if I have an 8x8 mighty hoop can I use this or will it be too small? I also have an 8x8 for the luminaire will this work as the designs are 7.7 etc? Thank you. I know it says you need at least an 8x8.
I think you can make these in an 8x8. Give it a try. If the design is too large for your hoop it won't stitch. If you're not sure, do a trace around the hoop to make sure it will all stitch and fit properly. But I think the directions say an 8x8 will work. Good luck!
Hi Becky - do you know if Embrilliance software will send wirelessly to any brand of machine?
What is in the hoop stuff. Sorry new to this
Does it matter what software that you have on your computer? I have software from my Babylock machine. Is that ok? 😊 😊 😊 😊
Becky, i have a viking husqvarna, sewing/embroidery machine w/premier software. was wondering how compatible the software would be with scan and cut machine ?
It's not compatible at all unless it will save applique files to the .pes file format which is what the SNC will use to identify the tackdown (cutting) file. USB that file to the SNC and then save it again in the software to the .hus file format for use in your machine for applique. It will work then. Test first for sure. I wouldn't alter the image at all once it's in the SNC because the .hus stitch file won't know it changed. You'll have to make any and all changes to the file (resizing, mirroring, etc.) in the Premier software before you save it to .pes to USB to the SNC.
Where do we order the stitch ripper combo your husband is making?
They are at powertoolswiththreadstore.com Thank you!
