Thanks for a great video,, so glad the camera was a good close up showing the tablet screen, so easy to follow. Being one who learns visually, that is so important. Thanks again ladies. Love , love the pro-stitcher program, it seems to be limitless.
I agree, that would be a great additional video! There are a couple of videos over on the Pro-Stitcher Education website that talk about working with text but I felt like the information was spread over three videos.
This was awesome guys! And thanks for keeping it real and talking about having to pick out stitches. I am VERY hard on myself and kind of beat myself up when I have to fix something and it’s helpful to know people as experienced as you two also have to undo things occasionally 😊
Ann, If you only knew how much unpicking I have to do today!!! (: We are definitely real people that make our fair share of mistakes. (I mean learning experiences!!)
@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013 Thanks for showing us the great way to label quilts. I have been trying to find a cursive font that will work in designer as a single line (one pass) cursive as if I'm writing by hand. Even the single line fonts I have purchased do an outline of the text not a single line. Do you have any tips to get a single stitched line font?
Designer will always do an outline of a font. You can write it yourself by hand and then bring it in as a backdrop in Designer and then create the stitching. Or you can look for already created cursive letters that you can purchase. Maybe I should work on creating some!!
What font did you use for the "grandma" quilts. I have figured out the digitizing to import part, but do not have a font that I like as much as the one used on those.
@@HandiQuilter what is the font name? I have not found one that has a Q like that which I like a lot. I am looking to purchase it or one similar to it.
Can you explain how to get rid of jump stitches in Designer… can you add a trim and pull-up? If not, where can we find a font that is a single line like you used?
When you have jumps, your Pro-Stitcher will stop to trim your threads if the jump is long enough. You can change your jump length to 0 if you want to always have a chance to trim your threads.
This would be great for any quilt that has to be shipped or one destined for a college dorm, nursing home, or hospital patient. Because the quilt label cannot be removed w/o damaging the quilt. I’ve heard of some thieves removing the quilt label that was just sewn on after the quilting was done. Better safe than sorry. (Although this will not stop all thefts, but at least a quilt can be identified if it is ever located.)
Great idea! When my grandmother (the one who taught me how to quilt) went into a nursing home, she refused to let me give her a quilt because she didn't want it to get stolen.
Thanks for demonstrating this technique. I just used it the label my newest quilt. Worked perfectly. I used So Fine 30Wt

thanks! this was awesome!!
It would be awesome to demo how you take a font and make it into a word for a label! Thank you!

www.prostitcher.com has videos under the PS Designer education section.
This is BRILLIANT!!

Good stuff. Thanks, ladies.
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Love this!

Thank you for this awesome information. If someone wants to add their logo to the label, would that be able to do it?
If you have the software to digitize the logo, definitely!!
I want to purchase the font used on the grandma quilt. How do I find it for purchase, please.
Unfortunately, it isn't a font that is for sale.
What font did you use for the "grandma" quilts. I have figured out the digitizing to import part, but do not have a font that I like as much as the one used on those.
It was a digitized script alphabet that I own. For that quilt, I did not use the Text feature in Designer to create it.

Can this somehow be used on Simply Sixteen?
