What about a BOM for Machine Embroidery??

I must confess to arriving home with my machine last May and all the embroidery stuff is still in the cases.ops:
ops: I was so eager just to sew, anything, it's all sort of just sat there. I wouldn't even know which version I have!
Last month I signed up for the QU course on 8th January, Beginning Machine Embroidery with Joanne Winn, sounds like the same one Libbi. Her website is a real taster isn't it!!
I'm liking the way this road of thought is taking us.

I don't think it would be right to share any digitized blocks from Sue Garman's BOM. That sounds like copyright infringement to me. I’m going to try for my own use, but that’s my limit.
I agree with others, that maybe if we ask TQS, machine embroidery might be included in a future BOM. Should we start a campaign?
Dear Alex & Ricky, do you monitor this forum?
Joanne Winn's courses at Quilt U are wonderful for learning applications of machine embroidery. Those courses are NoT digitizing. She gives her students many beautiful designs as part of the courses, and has her designs in formats of all the major machine companies.
V6 is not just for Berninas. It will save files in 23 different formats that appear to include all the major brands of home embroidery machines.
Please, I hope ya’ll that are doing embroidery BOM’s will post your work.
I just posted a picture of a 17 ½ inch appliquéd block done on the embroidery module. It’s in Show N Tell under “What are you working on?” A close-up detail is in my profile. I do wish I knew how to digitize big blocks like that on my own, but not yet! That’s a Joanne Winn design. She’s been designing for 15 years.

Just to clarify, I did not mean to digitize Sue's designs nor anybody else's designs. I believe that all purchased designs are only intended for the use of the purchaser, even commercial use.
I really hope someone with talent will volunteer to design an machine embroidered BOM.
I have already posted 3 of my machine embroidery quilts in my profile...Josh's Backyard Buddies (Backyardigans), To Teach and To Learn ( monthly Sunbonnet Sues) and Princesses Rule (princesses with sayings on wholecloth). I've also posted some of the results from Joanne Winn's courses. I am not yet ready to unveil the 2010 Christmas quilt thought I've completed 10 appliqued Santas and 4 crazy patches, all purchased designs. I have designed 6 more crazy patches and have purchased or designed about 30 quilt outline blocks. I need a total of 81 8" squares.

To take up Libby's idea, what about doing the BOM from Joanne Winn's site? only problem is, you do have to pay for the designs, but they are not that dear and she looks like she give loads of tuition! I don't have any experience of her work, but it does loodk good. Unless someone else wants to volunteer?

I have multi-hooped applique designs created by Joanne Winn for her QU class. She creates the reference points when she digitizes the design. I study her designs to learn how to do it. Now the 830 creates reference points for multi-hooping automatically. This is a feature that I still have to master.
For my 2010 Xmas quilt I purchased a very large appliqued Santa that requires 9 5x7 hoopings to complete from A Bit of a Stitch through Secrets of Embroidery. I purchased all of her appliqued santas and they're beautiful and great quality. The instructions for this 20.5" x 11.25" Santa are very detailed.
As you can tell from my postings I am self-taught. I am attempting to adapt this design for the 830 Jumbo hoop as a learning experience. It will require 4 hoopings (estimate) and the placement will require rotating the hoop.
I will post some photos in my profile later today.
PS. I would love it if Joanne created a BOM for TQS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
It is very quiet here...there will be no shops open today, tomorrow, or Sunday... only some restaurants and maybe movie theaters. The weather will be poor so no walks either.I guess it is perfect quilting or digitizing time without guilt. 8)
Susan & Amanda...posted some of the in-the-hoop appliques to my profile. You will have fun with this technique. Will also start to transfer giant applique Santa from 9 5x7 hoopings to 4 Jumbo hoopings. That should keep me out of trouble. :wink:

Happy New Year to you too!
They're great Libbi. I'm quite looking forward to this and will be finding the bits to the machine later on!! I have been warned to have the manual very handy and to start reading!!! (Thanks Susan :wink: ).
Hope your day of unabashed quiltyness is as wonderful as it sounds!
See you in QU Wayland.

Happy New Year Everyone
I can't wait to hear how the giant Santa goes! Libbi, those Santas are great!
I splurged. Two days ago, after a hint I read in a Yahoo software group, I had the online start-up and user manuals from my software printed at Staples and bound with a nice spiral binding & plastic on the front and back. I learned that there are great tutorials and that these manuals are actually usable in printed form.
I learned that I could have emailed them to have them printed, and picked them up later.
My New Year's Resolution...don't spend all day reading the Forum & get some sewing done :lol:

Have you seen Margo's BOM in her profile; she has designed a quilt from Sue Garman's project but instead of the stars has left a square in the centre of each block and suggests that redwork could be embroidered there, but prehaps we budding machine embroiderers could add an embroidery of our choice and then stitch along with the everyone else making the quilt.

I did a preliminary attempt to digitize Sue Garman's design for January. It can be done but will take two hoopings in the Bernina Jumbo hoop to complete for a 14x14 square to finish as a 12x12 block. This is for the Hugs & Kisses applique quilt. To begin I scanned the photo from the pdf as a jpeg into artwork and then digitized the basic shapes. Then it becomes a matter of duplicating, mirror imaging, placement, etc.
I never intended to begin this BOM but now I'm hooked to see if I can do it. I guess I feel the need to justify the purchase of the 830 and Designer Plus V6. While I'm funding these purchases by trade-ins and selling off stuff I don't need or use, I still need to justify why I require these new techno tools.
Back to work. I've still got a few blocks to design for the 2010 Xmas Quilt.

I just posted a picture of my first stitch-out for January in Show and Tell. The actual applique is 10 1/2 inches, but there is enough fabric around it to cut the block to size. I may try to increase the size, but have fine-tuned the file & don't want to screw it up. The next ones should stitch-out lots faster. Yesterday was a long day of learning. Today is a day of a long nap.
Tip: If you are digitizing & need the artwork, if you click on the picture next to the link for the monthly directions, a larger jpeg pops up, then right click and save. This avoids the need to scan for artwork.

Great job. Are you going to quilt it block by block or quilt it whole?
A great big DUH for me. My problem was trying to capture the photo from the pdf. I should know better.
Great job. I went back to designing crazy patches for the Xmas quilt...attempting to discipline myself to keep to one project at a time.
