Thank you!

You are so welcome

Oh, I found paper manuals on eBay. There's more than one person there that prints and binds them. If you search ebay for solaris (and whatever your model is...2..3... vision) instruction manual I think you should find it.

@@kofoedsandy Thank you! I will do that when I get my machine!

Wonderful!

I'm so excited for you! You will have so much fun.

It's really not that bad compared to others I've done.

Yes! It's an awesome feature, and I'm glad it worked this time. It's so odd that I could stitch out the 3 before with no problems. But now that I remember back to that blurred era is my life🤣, it hit me that when the thread got caught on the thread guide... and was really pulled hard... and frayed at one point, I bet that caused the problem. I wouldn't think that thread pull would be enough to misalign the stitch, but it probably was. Live and learn.

Thank you!

Glad you enjoy it!

@@LonnieJones-f8i great!

@anitraanderson931 that butterfly and flowers design in this video is from embroidery library. The other butterfly on a sweater that I talked about is on another video. There's actually 2 shorts and a video on that project. That desktop is from Urban Threads.

@@kofoedsandy Thank you so much! I just found that video. I'm so glad I found your videos before I even get my Solaris!

Me too! I'm just a regular old retired person recording my journey to keep pushing myself to keep learning and for a continuous kick in my xxx. 😂​@@anitraanderson931

I would rethread the bothrough path, making sure to follow the arrows. I think they have a video right on the machine that guides you through that. Good Luck!

Oh, I'm very excited for you. You will love it!,

@@kofoedsandy I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you! I've had a Pfaff for over 30 years, an excellent machine. But I've heard that they're not what they used to be so I'm hesitant to get another one. I wanted to want the Bernina because the store is so much closer to my home, but I liked the Baby Lock better. I'm waiting to hear on a final price/package.

@anitraanderson931 I had my Babylock Esante for 25+ years. It will work but not as easy as with the new technology on the newer machines. I have an old Janome Memorycradt 10001. Same thing... great machine for basic sewing and embroidery, but I only use it with the embroidery cards made to go with it. Yes, I could break out an old,old laptop with xp operating system to transfer designs from a cd to the machine, but it's so much easier doing it via USB or better yet via wifi!

That's personal preference to me. I usually use black with dark colors and white with light colors... Same with stabilizer colors. I only match bobbin thread when I'm doing embroidery lace.

You should! Glad you like it. 😊

If I could get to a point where I can have more time to plan color changes , then I will do that too. 😊 Lately, I've relied on the machine for color choices. It's fun to use the color visualizer, too. I bet the new Babylock Radiance is amazing at color selection, especially because I think it can scan photos and automatically digitize those. It looks amazing. That's a dream! If I could upgrade, I would!

Great to hear!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much for your input.

Thank you so much for the tip on prewound bobbins!!

@ruthh1776 I had bought some white brotheead bobbins before the black ones. I noticed they are the same type as the kind you mentioned. Those worked just fine. Then, I just bought 25 of another brand to see if I liked them, but even though they look exactly the same, they bounce around in the bobbin case. I just searched for that type you mentioned and found a large box of black brothread that I didn't see before. Thanks again! Yay!!

@@kofoedsandy wonderful.. it’s great when we sewist can help each other out. I will check that brand out..

Another place that I know has good threads. I have bought their threads before, just never have bought their bobbins is Superior Threads. And they do throw pretty good specials from time to time .. I especially like their titanium needles ..

​@ruthh1776 oh great to know. Thanks

Hi, I don't see that is possible yet. It should be for what it costs. Lol. I'll triple check, though. I think that's up to the digitize.

Glad you like them!

I got that design from Urban Threads online.

Thank you for sharing .. I have been enjoying your journey..

@@ruthh1776 that's great!! I'm glad.

I think they were 1 1/2 or 2 inches.

@genillesteiner9025 Yes, that happened to me too. One would think you can put in the measurements, and it would be figured more exactly. I wonder if their new machine figures it out closer. I see videos about their new machine. Can't afford it but it's fun to watch.

Thank you! 😊

Welcome aboard!

Glad to hear it!

@karenschwieger5340 no issue that I can remember with the flowers. Just part of my journey to learn my machine.

@@freddiehansen7324 thank you! It's been fun. I waited my whole life to get it. 😊

@@kofoedsandy I can see why!!

I have found for E2D, once you move, adjust the size... those adjustments should stay for the "existing hoop/ frame/ segment", but there may be slight adjustments needed with every new hooping. The only place I noticed the machine remembers is if you are near the bottom. It seems to keep those changes (increase or decrease size) in its memory across the bottom. When you move the hoop over or down, you will need to recheck it. If you have to restart the machine guided E2E, and continue on another day, and have turned the machine off, it's good to recheck how things are aligned before stitching.

@@kofoedsandy Thank you! I’m still learning. What a great machine!!

@sarahsgift1 I agree 100% with all you said. I'm going to try 3 more things and I'll share... as I'm still on the fence with having other embroidery machines. It does a great job for the money.

@@kofoedsandy You got a great deal on it, and it does have a free arm. If you have the room I would hang onto it for now,, merely to save the frustration of having to hoop baby tees etc. Here in Canada the Skitch is $800 so not worth it for me.

@sarahsgift1 oh wow, yes that's much more expensive! Amazing the price difference. Thanks.

@craftylady3129 no, the machine won't work without the app from what I gathered.

The Skitch won't work without Artspira. There is no way to send designs to the machine without the app. You don't have to pay for the subscription to send designs, but there's no other "connection" to the machine.

@teriadams7398 me too! It washed up nice too, thankfully.

@teriadams7398 yes I do that too. On that big one, I just wanted to use what they used. Gorgeous.

@teriadams7398 it could have been the bobbin. I used a separate bobbin winder that time, but I've used those bobbins before. I like to wind my own, for now. But, I have had 2 bobbin winders and don't really like either one. They don't wind evenly. I've done a lot of thinking and research since this video. I think I overstabilized. Next time, I'll just use one layer of fusible medium weight cut away. I had used two because the first layer left the sweater too stretchy, so the stabilizer must have had some give. I'm going to try a similar pattern on another sweater with one layer of medium weight cut away on the bottom, water soluable on top, float light weight tear away on the bottomto see if that helps. 😊

@@teriadams7398 haha

Thanks! I love to share. 😊

@@kofoedsandy 🥰

@elizabethk8938 I think that hoop should work on a lap quilt. Good luck! Have fun! If you have a similar machine, when you program in the quilt size using the hoop size you will use, the machine will tell you how many hooping (segments or frames), and you can tell how many hoopings there will be, and you can decide if you want to switch to a larger size. I think it should be fine, and it may be a little easier to maneuver that size on a smaller quilt, too.

I have the Solaris which I upgraded to the 3. Thanks again!

@elizabethk8938 so yours is just like mine. Fun

@sherrikoers1438 yes, when I get to scanning, I want to scan images and do fill ins, but I also want to see what's in my instruction book and go through that.

@sherrikoers1438 I've used IQ designer to do fill ins of shapes now and then. Should be interesting to continue that learning more.

No I'm sorry. I wish I did. 😊

Thanks! You can do it!
