Embroidery fonts
In the embroidery mode you can see
all of the fonts available on the creative
4.5. The first three in the left column and
the first two in the right are available as
stitches in the sewing mode too.
You can design a variety of quilt labels
with all of these different fonts!
This photo shows the progress of the
machine on the embroidery. I’m a little
ahead of myself here but I wanted
to show you the detailed screen
information. The large cross shows
where the needle is in the design. The
numbers in the highlighted green box
let you know the position and color of
thread being used. Yes, you can program
the thread colors for each section – each
letter even! The little green half circle
is the speed control for the embroidery.
Let’s just say that full speed intimidated
this quilter! I had to slow down the
machine a bit so I could watch it in
action :)
Okay. So that’s making the design. A
few more photos to show getting the
machine and fabric ready!
Embroidery Unit
The embroidery unit came in its own box
which included this travel bag. I store the
unit in it when not in use – you can see
how big it is!
Hoops stored in bottom of bag
Some of the packing material from the
box gets transferred into the bag to store
the hoops as well. This unit comes with
three sizes of embroidery hoops.
