Class Podcast: Digitizing fun stuff for letters

You can check out the video on youtube HERE if you need to see the designs.  I hope that having a podcast of the classes will allow you to review the class while doing other things. This is a new Letters series for digitizing machine embroidery lettering - this is the intro video that starts right at the beginning of how to edit built in lettering.

If you want to see all of the items that we are unboxing, then check out the video here:  https://youtu.be/aMPXObYgoDs If you want to get your own SEWING or QUILT box on a monthly subscription then go visit https://www.dancing_stitches.com and tell them that Sue Brown from OML Embroidery sent you! Happy Stitching!!

It's a great question, and hopefully, everyone answers YES, and you backup your computers or at least your embroidery designs stash.  In this podcast, I explain to you how we back up our backup for business files...seriously, we have at least 2 copies of each design saved just in case.  It is really important to back up your files in case of computer failure or worse....Can you imagine trying to remember or figure out how to get all of your designs back?  How many designs do you have on your computer?  Have you lost all of your designs before?  Make your life easier by backing up the files that you need the most.  You will thank me later. 

Everything you wanted to know about security but were afraid to ask. In this podcast, Sam and I are discussing internet security - why you should NOT give out personal information by answering and sharing posts about your favorite things.  Did you know that Facebook is not a secure site?  Do you know what anyone can do with your photographs?  Sam and I have some stories about metadata from photographs and we explain how to create a super-secure password that you will remember.   We get interrupted by the dogs a few times, and I edited out Odie throwing up while we were recording.  Fun stuff every time I go live or hit record.  LOL.

Welcome to my embroidery world!  In this podcast, I am going to share with you my day - when it starts and what I do and when I do it.  If you were ever wondering if I stop, the answer is NO.  you have seen a video of my office, now you can hear what I do all day.    Don is with me to add in his commentary and take a break from his work.  Enjoy.

This is something close to my heart - if you were ever wondering where my passion and enthusiasm come from, here is the answer.  It comes from my heart.  This podcast is personal and close to my heart - it's also about my heart.  This is the story of me - how I went from an embroidery production all work no fun daily life, to wanting to help embroidery people to love embroidery more. I am more fun, passionate and enthusiastic about embroidery, and I want you to be too!  Don't get frustrated when something doesn't stitch right, get educated.  I am here to help, and I spend each and every day helping, and I have been for years. I love the OML Gang and what they represent, and all of the support they give everyone, including me.  I truly want everyone to be happy embroiderers.  Happy stitchers make me happy.   This is my story.

What is your biggest mistake?  do you keep making the same mistakes.  Lets face it, mistakes happen!  Join Sue and Don while we talk about our worst mistakes and how expensive they turned out to be!

There is so much to learn when you get into embroidery.  One great place to start is to learn the lingo.  Embroiderers use shortcut terms and lots of them like WSS and FST and we also have some strange terms like bird nest and thread shred!  If you want to learn how to speak embroidery listen in while you are stitching and enjoy the embroidery chit chat.  If you know a newbie to embroidery, share this podcast with them so that they can understand what people are talking about :) 

hey, welcome to my podcast!  this week's subject are questions that everyone asks:  WHICH MACHINE SHOULD I BUY?  WHICH MACHINE IS BEST?  WHICH MACHINE IS THE BEST VALUE?  and yes, I will answer the questions!  I wish I had a simple answer, but it really isn't simple.  The machine that is best for me, is probably not best for you.  Why?  Leave me an audio message or question here:  https://anchor.fm/sue-brown2021/message

How much do you know about crazy quilting?  In this podcast we are going to figure out the history of the crazy quilting technique in its many forms dating back to 1880's - some quilts were made with rich elegant fabrics, and some were made with worn and patch clothing depending on the times.  Ever heard of a memory quilt?  did you know that they used to add small items, birth and death dates and sentiments to crazy quilts?  What a wonderful idea!!
