HI, LIZ GHERARDINI FROM COLLINSVILLE IL. I JUST STUMBLED ACCROSS THIS TUTORIAL AND AM LOVING YOUR VIDEOS! I HAD NEVER HEARD OF DIME SOFTWARE BEFORE. I JUST BOUGHT THE BROTHER XE2 EMBROIDERY MACHINE LAST WEEK, HAVE NOT OPENED IT UP YET BECAUSE I AM TURNING A SPARE BEDROOM INTO MY SEWING ROOM HAVE TO PAINT, PUT SEWING FURNITURE TOGETHER ECT. I AM A NEWBEE TO MACHINE EMBROIDERY SO I WILL BE LEARNING EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH IT WHEN I GET SET UP LOL, I SIMPLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, THEY ARE SO IMFORMATIVE AND I WILL DEFINATELY BE PURCHASING YOUR SOFTWARE, IT APPEARS TO BE VERY USER FRIENDLY AND EASY TO NAVIGATE AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE LEARNING TUTORIALS W/IN THE SOFTWARE APPEARS TO BE A GREAT EDUCATIONAL VENUE. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND BEING PATIENT EXPLAING TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE LEARNING. GOD BLESS YOU.

[@kimharrington1764]

Very helpful Ashley! So glad you're doing all this for the software users 🙂OMG! I didn't even know about the windows feature that allows my to arrange my windows to change a folders contents.... I am always doing stuff like that!

[@suemason688]

Love this.

[@ThatGirlsQTnT]

I'm so new at this and am looking forward to watching all your educational/support videos. Thank you very much for this knowledge sharing. I am looking for a video on how to download, save and import files into the program... How to understand the save process for the free stuff 🙂 I get two files and not sure which ones are the design.

Hi Sandy, how's your day going with you?

[@ruthwilliams3834]

Hello from far west Texas Super great tutorial 👍👏 you are a Fantastic instructor 🤗 I thought the free software would be all I needed 😂 then you showed what a font collection can do 🥰 oh my!! I need a font collection(s) too 💝 looking forward to see what you'll inspire me with next time 😊 oh, I'm new to all this I don't have any software programs.

[@paulohlsson27]

Hi Ruth, how's your day going with you?

[@SewPerky]

I don't know if you will see this or not but I don't know where to find font collections?? (newbie to DIME so maybe I missed it)

[@llogne]

The ungroup command is exactly what I want, and I've purchased the perfect stitch viewer

[@dzgns]

The Perfect Stitch Viewer does not have an ungroup feature, its a software that helps you view your design files as images when you set the view icons as medium to extra large. The organization tips mentioned during the Between Friends segments are extra steps that we recommend to take to better organize your embroidery files.

[@llogne]

@@dzgns why does Ashley in the video that perfect stitch viewer or any font has the command group/ungroup?

[@gingerbeane416]

I downloaded the free software just recently. How can I use this with kimberbell block by block background quilting. To make the design smaller or take away the tack down lines?

[@vickymallon2227]

I have My Quilt Embellisher, which I haven't used for at least 3 years. Do I have the same capability with Text editing that you showed on this video? Please clarify. Thanks! Your video was a great way to revisit some of the features I have since forgotten. Thank you.

It’s been a while since this aired, and I just stumbled upon it. I’ve been using the free version for the past few days. Can you save your work and come back to finishing a design. i.e. I started doing lettering (one letter at a time…I know there is an add-on) to a design, and needed to stop for a while. I saved the file, and apparently I must have done something wrong, as I cannot finish the process. I have to start from scratch. Any suggestions? Please & thanks!

I just bought a Bernina but also own Husqvarna. I have designs in HUS format only and want to convert the HUS file to an EXP file. How do I do that

[@paulasiefert2059]

Do we have the ability to bring a design in from our machines? I have a baby lock and often use my fonts. Can I bring them into this programm?

Hi, Christine from South Wales in the UK. Question, when you place a design over another design, do the software not duplicate the under stiches?

What do I need to convert PES designs to applique

[@user-ys1md7xz3v]

Hi When I use an image from the free design software and go to save it as a pes folder, it says no stitches are in my design. How do I do this?

[@eileendavinroy7461]

I just downloaded Tool Shed today and I am very impressed with the program. My question is, are all the programs that are listed included in the Perfect Embroidery Pro program? Thank you!

[@dzgns]

No, the other programs do not come with Perfect Embroidery Pro. Each other program specializes in something so they enable new features within the Embroidery Tool Shed program.

I reviewed the dime designs. In the animal/giraffe folder I found a couple really cute files in My Fabric Designer folder. However, when I double clicked and added them to my screen, I couldn't save them in my embroidery format. I got an error message saying there were no stitches in the file That didn't happen with other designs in my library. Are the giraffes only pictures for digitizing?

[@dzgns]

All of our paid software programs have the capability to group and ungroup, this includes Embroidery Tool Shed Plus

i do not want digitizing software all I need is software that will let me transfer designs that I have purchased from the different vendors and my operating system is a mac mini so Does this software work on that operating syster.

[@dzgns]

All of our softwares work with MAC, you would only need to install the MAC Translator - bit.ly/3DQBHym

[@fabbyalways1]

Can it convert an image you download from online to embroidery format?

[@dzgns]

You can use our digitizing wizard, but that is not part of the free version of Embroidery Tool Shed.
