SFTW-082022: EMBROIDERY SOFTWARE - August 19, 2022 - Create Applique from Pattern
Join me in exploring mySewnet and Premier+2 embroidery software. This is a combination in-store and virtual class. If you plan to attend in person, be sure to sign up for the IN-STORE class. If you plan to attend remotely, be sure to sign up for the VIRTUAL class. Must have a basic familiarity with getting around in the software; this is not an introductory class.
TOPIC - Create in-the-hoop Applique from sewing-machine-applique pattern
Note: If you took the March 2022 software class on applique, know that this class is different. In this class everything will be done in the digitizing mode where there are lots of creative options. The class in March used 1) an existing applique embroidery design to explore the Applique tab and 2) used Express Design Wizard to create an embroidery applique from a line drawing.

Class Description:
So you have some applique-by-machine patterns in your to-do pile but you would really rather stitch them as in-the-hoop applique designs. In this class we are going to learn how to do that. It is a fairly quick and easy thing to do. Not only that, we can add a bit of embroidery embellishment to the designs, too, if we so desire. We will be using the DIGITIZING mode in mySewnet or the CREATE module in Premier+2 to digitize the designs. I am going to use the pattern shown, BLACK CAT IN WITCH'S HAT by PATCHABILITY, and it will be an early start on Halloween decorations. You can use this same pattern or use a pattern that you already have.
To purchase this downloadable pattern from PatchAbilities, go here: https://www.patchabilities.com/shop/c/p/P279-Black-Cat-in-Witchs-Hat---DIGITAL-DOWNLOAD-x59995951.htm. The pattern is $10 at the time of this writing.
PC vs MAC
I will be demonstrating using mySewnet software, PC version, so if you are using Premier+2, PC version your screens may look a bit different than mine, but the lesson does apply to the Premier+2 software also. The lesson applies, too, to the MAC version of the software but you need to know how to get around in the MAC software version.
Class Preparation for In-Store attendance: software loaded on a laptop computer to bring to class and updated to the most recent version. Plan to use a MOUSE. Even if you are proficient using the thumb pad, I have found it to be inefficient to use in the software during class.
Class Preparation for Virtual attendance: A ZOOM link will be emailed to the Virtual attendees 24-48 hours before the class. Plan to log on 15-20 minutes before class to check your audio and video. Note that I cannot help with ZOOM technical problems. During the class, once the lesson has started, please plan to keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking.
