PE Design 11 Tutorial - Episode 1: Basics

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Let me know what you want to be in this series, I will try to fit it into an episode for you!

[@kimbrabham5193]

Thank you!!!! Looking forward to seeing more!!!

[@suerisius8271]

Excellent starting video. I am watching prior to installing the software. Feels. Very much like a windows format.

[@Cathyashton1]

Its brilliant to actually have a uk speaking tutor at last for this program

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video!

[@edpalmieri3470]

I watched this one more time. Your presentation is the most effective and professional I have ever seen on utube. Please continue to do provide videos and even the simplest of tasks are great for beginners. I have had the software for over 1 year and learned more from you than my sewing store. They don't have anyone to give assistance even though they say they provide lessons.

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Wow, thank you! That's really kind of you to say! I'm glad that you're finding them so useful. I promise that more videos are coming soon, I've just been so busy with the launch of our new site! (Which i now live!) So I'll get to work on some new ones soon! All the best!

[@christaldehart7281]

Thank you for sharing these videos with everyone.

[@SewingMachines_UK]

You are very welcome

I have owned many versions of the PE Design Software and now own the PE Design 11, as it came with my new Luminaire, but have struggled to learn the program. I am now retired and vowed to myself to learn this software and now, after watching this video and the simplicity with how you explained everything has built my confidence to go on with other projects using the PE Design 11 Software! Thank You , so much for people like me who are not so tech savvy.

[@SewingMachines_UK]

That's brilliant to hear, very kind of you too! I'm sure you can get to grips with it, once you've done a couple of things and if you follow my tutorials to help get you started off, you'll do great! Wish you the best of luck!

[@AngelaBryan-i8y]

Ive had my PE Design 11 software for 2 years and your tutorials are by far the most clear and understandable Ive seen. Im at last able to use the software. Thank you!

[@SewingMachines_UK]

That's very kind of you, thank you! I hope to bring some more episodes soon!

[@edpalmieri3470]

watched this again it was so good and I may view it many more times in the near future. Great Job.

[@Arzuerdogan-ce3jl]

çok çok çok teşekkür ediyorum. bu konuda bulduğum tek ve en doğru kanalsınız 🥰

[@sallymccollin7302]

Very well presented. You make it much easier to understand than other tutorials I have come across on the web.

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Thank you very much! That's really kind of you to say!

[@Red-zv2xt]

These videos have been so helpful for me just learning, you really present this well in a clear and understandable way for beginners! Thank you for them!

[@SewingMachines_UK]

You're very welcome! I'm really glad I can help so many people, It's really nice to have such nice feedback! Thank you for watching.

[@hunnyseverin3952]

I appreciate the simplicity of this video, Also getting straight to the point! I am now a subcriber.

[@LavineNoonan]

Thank you so much, I will be watching all your videos. Amazing tutorial.

[@samanthamd8923]

Hi Lavigne! How do you buy PE-DESIGN 11 ?

[@edpalmieri3470]

Very good video, even with your accent it was very easy to understand your instruction. I have had pe design 11 for about 8 months and Im still learning it. I also use embrillance software because that is what I started with because of price and ease of use.🙂😄😄😄

[@Jennifer53267]

Thank you for a great video. I’ve watched several videos and have never heard about the Reference Window.

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Glad it was helpful! Yeah, that's a really nice little feature! I'm still working on the second episode, and it should be out this week! I intended to have it out sooner, but things keep getting in the way, sadly. 😂

[@edpalmieri3470]

Very Good lesson glad you kept this one simple, this is a very complicated software program. I started with embrillance and I currently use PE design 11 and embrillance depending on the project

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Glad it was helpful! I've never heard of anyone using multiple software's like that, very interesting. Well I assume they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

[@sedrickthompson9897]

You do such an amazing job explaining. Can you do a video where you tackle digitizing a complex png?

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Hey! Thank you very much for the compliment! I'll definitely be doing that, I've just gotten back from holiday and will be working of a new episode this week!

[@Natalie-baltenweck]

Merci beaucoup pour ces bases!! 🙏🏻👏👏

[@hebrewlessons2348]

great tutorial!

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@cathy9477]

I wish I had known your give lessons with every purchase. Unfortunately, I’ve just bought PE 11 from another English sewing company. I live in Scotland and this would have been brilliant. If I haven’t opened the item I would have returned it and purchased from yourselves.

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Sorry to hear that! But at least you'll have our videos to follow along with! I'm going to try and produce one every couple of weeks, is the aim. The next one will be something along the lines of "How to digitize a logo", talking about the automated and manual processes.

[@kathybrigger9431]

Excellent. Thank you so much.

[@samanthamd8923]

Hey Kathy! How do you purchase PE-DESIGN 11 ??

[@ZackZakaria-f5u]

Cute designer 11

[@darleneshannon3194]

Clear, easy to understand, professional.......................Brillant!!!!! I purchased my Brother Innova about a year ago and am now just getting comfortable with it and the BES Software it came with however I couldn't find a video that was as good at explaining it as you explained the PES Design 11. I just purchased PES Design 11 within the last several days and am anxious to begin the design process. I'm going to watch this video again then go right into video II. One thing I want to learn is how to edit out portions of an image or design, I know it's there somewhere in the manual. Do you cover it in any of the videos? Thanks!

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Thank you so much! Really nice feedback, I appreciate that a lot. I hope you do go for it, if you follow along with the existing few videos I think you will learn everything you need to get started at the very least. I believe I do touch upon editing images before bringing them into the software, but I cant honestly remember, but if not I'll cover it in the future. I wish you all the best, Good luck!

[@daisyxstitch3336]

Thank you so much for a great tutorial. Can you tell me when you will be creating a tutorial focused on cross stitching with PE 11?

[@Ashwil_Dsz]

Thank you❤

[@SewingMachines_UK]

You're welcome 😊 Thank you for watching!

[@sonalamin8220]

Really enjoyed this tutorial, thank you so much, it was very useful. You mentioned that you would do a separate tutorial on the various stitch types. Have you done any tutorials on cross stitch?

[@bart3916]

Many thanks! im using a TT font but its just not looking that sharp any idea to perfect this?

[@melzc7610]

Hi I have just bought my Brother embroidery machine with design package and have so much to learn! At the start of your video when you are editing the image in your design page, how do you get the toolbar on the left up where all the separate elements are? I cant seem to make any changes to it once in the design page? Sorry a real amateur asking a probably very daft question! Any help would be great. Many thanks

[@graphx88]

Why my exported pes from wilcom can’t detect on ped basic memory card?

[@ruthgillam1868]

Hi do I just need to purchase the PE design 11 software package for my machine and it includes everything or is there other software tools I need too please? Total beginner asking? Thanks

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Hey! You don't need any other software to get started at all. All you need is PE design 11, everything I show in this video is right out of the box!

[@analynbermejo3794]

Hello.Can you make a video,th how to align two split designs using 4x4 hoop?Thanks!

[@Matthewhew30]

Hi, great to find this video. Would you say this is the best software to use? I have the opportunity to buy a machine that comes with PE11

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Hi PE Design 11 software is the best to work along side a Brother machines

[@Matthewhew30]

@@SewingMachines_UK thanks for the reply. Your videos are really helpful!

[@Matthewhew30]

@@SewingMachines_UK Hi again, you mention in one video that you could use a drawing pad to help with designing, do you have any videos of experience setting one up?

[@samanthamd8923]

How do you purchase the PE Design 11 software?????? I cant seem to find it

[@brimstone_asd]

Hi! My mother just need to use this program and asked me to install it for her, but in the instructions it says its for windows 7 and previus versions, i just wanna know if i can install this in windows 10 or 11, thanks

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Hello! Yes, you can definitely install on windows 10/11, as I am using it currently on a windows 11 pc.

[@brimstone_asd]

@@SewingMachines_UK oh, okay so im installing it, thank you mate!

[@airsman78]

Hi, how can i set design page (white box) to be bigger

[@SewingMachines_UK]

If you click the flower in the top left, and then click "design settings" you can then select a bigger hoop size or set a custom hoop size. Hope this helped! Good luck!

[@MsEva45]

Love your video. I'm in the US and need help with overlap. A video would be greatly appreciated.

[@SewingMachines_UK]

Thank you! I will definitely cover that for you, no problem at all! I was hoping to get a new one out this week, but I haven't yet finished the editing, so expect it early next week.

[@ElizabethW-d4y]

PLEASE can you do a video for the PE DESIGN PLUS2? I can NOT get my head around this

[@duongthuy3681]

Sorry for my bad english, but brother pe 11 can use on macos?

[@SewingMachines_UK]

I don't believe that it is natively available for Mac OS. It's something that I have asked Brother for in the past, but I'm unsure if it is something they are working on.

[@honabuy3600]

Is it free software?

[@SewingMachines_UK]

It's not free software I'm afraid, it's fairly expensive. But you do get a discount if purchased with a Brother embroidery machine.

[@stargazer0001]

Wish I could afford this software program. Pretty pricey for a beginner like me.

[@SewingMachines_UK]

That is true, however you do get an almost 50% discount when you buy it with a Brother embroidery machine. So I always recommend grabbing it at the time. It's also in our opinion the most beginner friendly too, in terms of usability. So it may be worth grabbing it when you upgrade/purchase your machine!
