But this is not about anybody else.
It's about setting a standard for sewing Ladies.
It's not being rude telling a budding digitiser what you see in their
design.

Imagine how Madame Curie felt...
Least digitising ain't gonna kill you just when you get the hang of
it!! /grin
You are seeing them as "variables", when they are really rules that
apply in certain instances. When they apply, they cease to be a
variable.... yes?
Something else to mess with your head.../grin
Think tyres on a truck... is the ground wet, or dry? That's a
variable, but you have learnt to think ahead...
Tyres is tyres, but they are tailored for weather and terrain.
Same deal with digitising. You just have to think ahead.
Which is why more info in a request is polite, not demanding.
>The goal posts keep changing, like.

Sometimes it rains and sometimes it's sunny too...
You'll get the hang of it.
Use the Force, Luke!

You are not known for giving up.

Yeah... instantly, an' that like.
The good stuff always takes time to get right.
What's that about not cherishing something that has not cost you
longing, labour and love???
You talk the talk... time to walk the walk...
/grin
>>You diddun know that various weights of thread are used??
>>
>Cotton is for cleaning yer teeth with and sewing up cuts.

>
Sewing up cuts??... really??
Looks at stash of 120+ surgical staples... one wound.
Should I write a letter of complaint??
Not everyone is skilled in embroidery, you are correct.... meheheh.
>>(I've been keeping that for special from ya...rofl)
>>
>Indeed so. In fact it is the first time I have ever seen it
>mentioned here. Tells me a lot about ABCP :-/
>
You would have designs in your stash requiring fuzzy thread. You just
haven't understood what they are for.
You have fine heirloom designs and some lace requiring 50wt thread so
they sew at their best.
It doesn't mean you can't use 40wt, it just may not look the best it
could when finished.
Tis why it is so important to read the digitiser's notes when
available.... not just the colour chart (!), the instructions the
digitiser wants you to be aware of!

Yeah it does. Exactly like paint.
You used to have just oil based paint.
Now you have water based, teflon, sun tolerant, baked on and gawd
knows what else.
You still have to know what is best for the job... /grin
But you know this... mehehe.

In the end, bad posting will be the death of Usenet.
When the art is lost everything will just implode.

Yeah, saw that. But it was a poopy graphic. Lots of work.

She still had a crack... silly wall flower or not, fastest to give up
notwithstanding.
She still had a crack.
The fact She now realises how much work goes into these things is a
lesson in itself.

Yeah, the underlay sequence points to a different program.
It was good underlay. Excellent in fact.

It's a different journey for everyone :-)
It looks plumper and straighter... But I'm lookin' at it in Wilcom...
Not such an actual view of reality.
