Tutorial - Digitize & ScanNCut Percy in Lori Holt's Chicken Salad Quilt Using BES4 / Simply Applique

[@maryannedoty7334]

I finished my Hattie Chicken block. I have all my pieces cut out for all the rest of the chickens. I am having such a good time. I have learned so much with Becky's fantastic instructions. Thanks, Becky for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thanks for keeping the oopsie in... Gotta learn to fix it from the master. Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@SherryCarrigan1]

Just a FYI....In Canvas Workspace (online version), the "Download to PC" most certainly does work on a MAC. Wanted to let you know so not to discourage MAC users from purchasing the Brother ScanNCut. Enjoying the series. Thanks.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Thanks for this. I misspoke. Yes, it will download to a Mac, but the fcm file can't be used by a Mac in this method I'm showing unless you're running Parallels with a Windows OS. Thanks for keeping me straight! :)

[@SherryCarrigan1]

@@PowerToolsWithThread I'm able to see my FCM Thumbnails/icons (full picture view) in all of my MACS when I'm exploring the various file locations. Another tip if you don't mind....you could also arrange the legs with feet, and the beaks to your liking for each chicken in Canvas, then weld them together to create the single objects for cutting and appliqué.

@@SherryCarrigan1 Fabulous! Thank you. I love that I learn so much from this community!

[@lindanahler413]

My software should be here tomorrow!! Thank you so much!

[@brendabarry278]

Wow! Even though I’m not doing this stitch along I’m still learning so much on how to use my SNC and have found that I can do the embroidery steps almost the same in my Dime PRO. (My computer was hacked and couldn’t get back my Simply Applique and still looking for my very safe place I put that cd…)

[@patriciaruppert201]

Thanks for the demo. It was great. ❤️

[@sheilawynens609]

Really wish we could buy these digitized files!

[@cabushka100]

Thanks for the great video! I feel so much more confident in what I’m doing! Possibly could you show how to do multiple hoopings for those of us with smaller hoops? I think I have an idea of how to do it but not sure about the positioning. I have a camera on my machine. Thanks again!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Yes, I've had so many requests that I'll stitch Percy using multiple hoopings. Thanks for the great idea!

[@cabushka100]

@@PowerToolsWithThread thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing it!

[@marilynm.329]

Well, I was going to get back to work when this popped up…. Break Time !!!

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Oh sure!! Go ahead and blame me!!! lol

[@Quiltingbyfaith]

Really enjoy all your videos. When I first saw you work with the Scan n Cut never did I see myself buying it. Because I was thinking I had to use it with a Brother machine. If I’m not mistaken I can use it with my Bernina Embroidery machine. Am I correct?

[@lindanahler413]

Yes, I have a Bernina 790. The 790 series machine will read exp format. Hope this helps.

[@janiecemistich335]

Is there a way to add the eyes and other embroidered details that are not cut from fabric?

[@weeksd2903]

I noticed that between all of the instructions piece 15 was reversed but you did not do it in Bcws but then when you are in simply appliqué it just shows up. I had to recut it

[@Whatever_Stitch_Quilting]

Hello. Does Canvas come with my Brother Scan and Cut? Or is it something you have to purchase. Ty

[@weeksd2903]

You can download it for free

[@julieeddy7336]

I am really new to this but what blade do we use

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

You can use either the black or gold blade.

[@janjeffers3462]

How did you “digitize” each piece? Is that in a separate video?

[@marlenesmithies7234]

Can you save as a Janome file?

[@darrelllenapayne8813]

Hi Becky, I sent you a PM on FB, could you please advise per my question pertaining to BES4 & Simply Applique? Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials I greatly appreciate your knowledge in all your videos.

[@sherryalsup1913]

I'm new to all of this. What is BES4? Thank you

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

That's an embroidery software available from Brother dealers.

[@kimmyers7848]

I guess I've missed something somewhere! You said you numbered all of them and I cant figure out how you do that. I put the number and name of the chicken on each page I scanned but obviously when you clean the page up for the designs you loose that

[@debbiewhite3270]

Hi Kim, I believe she numbered them in the name of each project scan file. Before u "overwrite", there is a name box w letters to the left.

[@kimmyers7848]

@@debbiewhite3270 thank you I’m just new to this and I’m trying hard to understand all of it. I’m rewatching videos now.

[@lindaparish1952]

These are so fun ! QUESTION - all my Hattie and Percy stitched perfect except for the Percy body - the blanket stitch appears to be reversed ?? Is there something I clicked to reverse that and didn't know it ?

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Hmmm, not sure. You might look at the patter on the computer. I hope it didn't get flipped accidentialy when you were flipping the tail.

[@lindaparish1952]

@@PowerToolsWithThread thanks - still trying to figure out why -

[@sullysmom5050]

I’m a little confused with this one. I’ll have to watch it a few more times.

[@cindyg1243]

I know your Percy looks just like Lori Holt's design, but the rear wing is upside down. I think it should have been flipped before being placed. Just my observation.
