I know this tutorial was done a year ago but since I’m starting to watch the older ones, I wanted to thank you for the way that you walk us through every single step there is to do. Especially for us that do not have the luminaire and the other machine how you show us that you just save it to the thumb drive and then would load it into your machine that way thank you for thinking of us that don’t have the other machines.

[@jeancoulter2194]

Must try these, they look easy, specially watching your video. Thank you.

[@veldaambrose6169]

I wish I had found you before I ended up in tears of frustration over trying to understand how to download designs from a zip file, etc. You explained the whole process so well. THANK YOU!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Glad I could help! Live and learn. You're ready for next time now!

[@jokoehn4281]

This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@annmaines4964]

Oh I love her designs. I’ve bought several of her designs. Now I need to download them to my computer.

[@lynncobb8992]

You are amazing. Just started hooking up a computer so I can add embroidery stuff to my machine. I have been watching you on my phone and now on you tube on my TV.

[@Mawmawjade53]

Thank you so much. I’ve had Essentials but wasn’t sure how to get a design to transfer to it. I’ll give it a go tomorrow.

[@713Joanne]

I happened to stumble upon you, and I an So Glad I did! You are an excellent teacher! Thank you so much for all your knowledge!

[@terriespringman719]

Oh Becky, I appreciate your instructions style, direct, attention to precise detail. Wonderful!! Onto the next video!!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Thank you so much!

[@ettakaynickel4081]

Thank you, Becky. I am becoming more confident about using my embroidery machine. I like the simplicity of this designs by juju mug rug.

[@BobbieBTexas]

Awesome video I so want to make some mug rugs thank you

[@elizabethdunford159]

Thank you so much!

[@vickijeanne9958]

Becky, I figured it out, sooo fun!

[@Kpmomof4]

So cute! Ty for sharing!

[@kristinehoder639]

Thank you, Becky, for demonstrating how to use Thumbnailer. I purchased it the other day and couldn't figure out how to use it. Your no-nonsense instructions were invaluable. I did exactly as you explained in the video and it worked beautifully! You've boosted my confidence level. Now, I'm off to purchase Essentials.

[@flutterbear2174]

Thank you i just started embroderiy this is very helpful

[@rosemarybarrett7650]

Thank you Becky. You did a fabulous job explaining the process- even us less than computer savvy people can get it. Stay safe.

[@jjivy6310]

Watched your video and went and finally got my software to do what it was supposed to do! Lol Thanks! Different ways of presentation, click different ideas on how I was looking at my problems.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Isn't that funny how that works? Sometimes your brain gets in the way of itself. In fact, that's how I first noticed my hubby. He was doing a presentation on some software that I had heard taught over and over and just couldn't understand. When he taught it, it "clicked"! I've loved him ever since. :)

[@petmomful2260]

I appreciate how you explain it all, even the downloading and unzipping process. As far as the batting goes, I read somewhere, "dimples up, pimples down." I don't know why, but that is what I do, like you did. I am just getting into some of the DBJJ designs and I plan on doing a lot more. I am doing end to end quilting right now with one of their designs.

[@teresaaltizer4117]

Thank you for this video! I am going to watch it again, after I go to Designs by JuJu!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Glad it was helpful!

[@karenpresley7101]

I'm finally finishing up on face mask!!!!! I'm so tired of sewing them. I need to make a few mug rugs. Have a great evening Becky. 💗😊💗

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Thanks Karen! I SO appreciate you!

[@yoyosmum]

Thanks, Becky.

[@laurawilliamson9954]

These are great!! Do you have a video also of JuJu’s set 2?

[@scmom745]

Super instructions! Thank you

[@conniechamberlain1259]

Thank you I would have never known about them.

[@bettygadd7652]

WOW! Awesome.

[@conniechamberlain1259]

I bought the pattern.Very easy and fast good for scraps.

[@fernehaddock3483]

Mug rugs are so fun!

[@cherinphillips8376]

I LOVED this video. i was searching on how to do this and found this video. IT WAS EXACTLY what I needed. THANK YOU! Can you please do a video on how you download fonts from JUJU to embrillance. I am brand new to all of this and your explanations are perfect for helping me understand.

[@patboren436]

Love to watch you, you explain every thing so nicely. Where do you find all your cute quilting T Shirts. Lo

[@jcascarelli01cascarelli45]

Love your videos

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Thank you!

[@susanbokorney]

Thank you for your videos...I just bought a Dream Machine 2...I am doing my research online because the stores are closed and I can't take a class yet. It is killing me! LOL. I am buying from JuJu should I just download the PES and not take up space on my Mac?

[@lindabridges445]

Those look easy enough to do. I like simple and easy. Thank you for sharing.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

They are! Thanks for watching!

[@barbarapower4364]

Becky - Thank you for your tutorials, watched a couple of them this afternoon. You make it all, so simple. Thinking of purchasing Embrilliance. Do you have a video, where you can cut part of a design and merge with another design? Can this be done in Embrilliance? Looking forward to your tutorials :)

[@cherylpalian3254]

I love my thumbnailer. Best Buy I made for my embroidery machine

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

That Thumbnailer software is a total game changer. Otherwise you are blindly looking for your embroidery designs. Yes, best money spent. Thanks!

[@patriciabennett961]

Thank you so much for this video, I always need help to get designs onto my machine and you make it so easy! Love your channel btw!! 😊❤👍

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@1962jeffbo]

Fantastic video and like you I love Designs by JuJu. I'm fairly new to the world of machine embroidery/ITH and I noticed that they can have a monogram or other embroidery added at a certain point in the process. How??? Again being fairly new I'm good with zipping these Mug Rugs out but would like to be able to customize. Maybe this would be a good Part 2?

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

You're reading my mind!!

[@1962jeffbo]

@@PowerToolsWithThread Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!!! Excited to see what comes!!!

[@user-gc9wt2fz9x]

how much are they for australia

[@vickijeanne9958]

Soooo cute, Becky, can I do all of this on my 4500D?

[@michaelfaires3196]

This was so helpful to me!!! I need more of these in-depth directions! I have a wonderful sewing and embroidery machine that I have had several years...Janome15000. I have sewn a lot, but have never embroidered. I just didn’t know where to start. I am not as computer literate as I feel I need to be. I didn’t want to tear it up! Sherry I really enjoy all of your videos!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

You are so welcome! I've got more videos in the works. :-)

[@clombard7134]

Hi Becky! I love "ITH" projects! You have explained this process perfectly! Thank you!

[@carolscheurich6678]

Have you checked out Kreative Kiwi is embroidery site? Really enjoy yours! ,

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

You are so welcome!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

@@carolscheurich6678 Yes, I love Kreative Kiwi! They have some great designs!

[@carlahunter3626]

What type of batting did you use?

[@susandt3856]

Thanks so much for this video. Since we upgraded to Windows 10 I have struggled with my downloads. This makes it so clear. I’m curious on the spool the thread is on. Does the thread flow better or does it not it make a difference?

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

The black thread is on the top spool peg of the machine. The blue spool on its side was used to make a same-color bobbin for a different project. I personally feel like the thread feeds better from the top. Thank you!

[@megyntiller4271]

Thankyou, very helpful

[@donnaabotsway3552]

Hi Becky You sold me on Thumbnailer do you have a video on how to download it and get started? Love your videos you make everything fun!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Yes I do! I just put it out there yesterday. Enjoy!

[@cindymcfarland4686]

I love your in-depth instructions. Thanks so much!! I did not know you could sew through the embroidery tape. I use the tape I purchase through Kimberbell (forgot the name of it). It does not gum up the needle or muck up the design???

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

That was Kimberbell tape that I sewed through. lol It didn't seem to bother the needle that I can tell.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Great tutorial. Thank you!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dianabarry871]

Excellent explanation of the entire process. I'll be making some Mug Rugs this weekend. Showing each step is so important when just learning machine embroidery. Do you have a tutorial for the Embrilliance program?

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Janay from Itch2Stitch has a fabulous 4 part video series on the Embrilliance program. That's how I learned it. They are short videos. Here is part 1 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYeacnV9ftx7ra8

[@stephaniebirkner762]

Great tutorial, thank you.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jillcaperton1568]

Good information today!

[@janinebell763]

Fantastic great learning.

[@erinmartin9241]

Thanks for the step by step process! You always make it so clear for new embroiderers. Do you find it easier to store your downloaded designs in their zip file formats and wait to extract them until you are ready to use them? Would it save storage space on your computer to do it that way? Or do you always unzip them once downloaded?

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

If I buy a bunch of files at the same time, I'll only unzip what I need right then and then get to the others later. No worries about hogging your computer's memory. These files are teeny-tiny and take just a smidge of room. Like a drop of water in a 100 gallon bucket 'smidge'.

[@linsleysrygley643]

You are so awesome!

[@terrycasey2073]

Thank you I love watching all your videos. I have been thinking on getting embrilance essentials do you really need it for your embroidery

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

I personally think you need some sort of embroidery program if you're going to do embroidery. It helps in so many ways and really opens up a new world to the process. Can you embroider without it? Sure. You can, of course, just take designs and stitch them out on something. But Embrilliance is a game changer if you need to resize or manipulate the designs in any way. Thanks for your kind words!

[@terrycasey2073]

Power Tools with Thread thank you I probably will get it I am new to embroidery do you need anything else with this

[@maryequilter31]

One thing though you absolutely DO NOT need software to move a commercially purchased file , after you extract it from the zip, to your USB stick. You can directly move the extracted file to your usb and use it in your machine.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

@@maryequilter31 Yes, that is correct. I've done several videos on how to do this. Thank you!

[@terrycasey2073]

Thank you

[@Laccy41]

Can I use SWP SEW WHAT PRO?

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

If you have it, I don't see why not. I'm not familiar with that software, but I did a little digging and it looks like another 3rd party embroidery manipulation software like Embrilliance. Go for it and see if it works!

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Stay well and stay home.

[@Laccy41]

I got it ...😁

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

YAY! You're off and running now! lol
