This is the best! I have had my Crescendo for two years. Never was offered any introductory courses. I had never plugged in my sensor pen! Now I can’t wait to use it. Thank you for the inspiration!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK *YOU* !!!!!!!!! I have had my Crescendo for a few months now and never realized something VERY important ! I have wanted to use the guide beam for many purposes but couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get it to work. I looked on the settings and found something on it that would turn it on but didn’t go where I wanted it to. It was VERY limited ! I didn’t see a reason for attaching the Sensor Pen because I didn’t think I’d be using it very much. After watching your video, I realized that you need to attach the Sensor Pen in order to get the guide beam to work ! It was quite the DUH moment for me ! Laugh Out Loud ! I wonder how many have done that ! So thank you for just improving my machine by leaps and bounds ! Can’t wait to get sewing on it again tomorrow !
This was the best instructional video on how to use the sensor pen and on the function of the laser beam. Great step by step instructions, removing possible missteps. I can now setup my sensor pen, calibrate it, and use it to place my embroidery on my brand new Unity. Thank you!
This was a great video. I haven't used the sensor pen on my machine because I didn't really understand it, but this video makes me feel totally prepared. Saved it in my favorites.
Brad you explain things very clearly and logically. I have had my Crescendo for nearly a year but have not really used the sensor pen even though my dealer gave me lessons. I guess I was on overload at the time. This makes so much mores sense to me now. Thanks so much.
Really helpful, thanks! I'm a new Unity owner living 90 miles from the closest dealer. This video was exactly what I needed and it was a bonus to see that you actually used the same machine that I purchased last month.
I'm currently in the market for a new machine and trying to understand the differences in the different BL models. Your tutorial is extremely helpful. You are a great teacher.
Thank you for sharing this video. I have had my Unity for a while and have never used the sensor pen. Very easy to follow your instructions. Thanks again!
Thank you. I had my machine for two years and didn’t know how to do the pencil.. it is so cool, now I know and will put it in practice. Merci .. Sylvie.
Thank you this has helped. I have the Spirit and picked it up before I could get a lesson and I live 305 miles from Anchorage Alaska, so much of my education will be by using the internet and your lessons are great.
Thank you so much for this video. I live quite a distance from the dealer and was never able to go in for introductory classes on my Crescendo. I hadn't figured out how to use the sensor pen and this really helped. Now I feel like I can do it.
My shop is not close to go and have more lessons and this is so helpful for my new Unity machine....I don't think I will be as scared of it as I was.....thanks for the detailed video....sharon in Charlotte, NC
This is so helpful! Bought the Spirit a few months and got a basic lesson on it. Have played around with it and made some quilt labels with it. Will go back for the second lesson in a few weeks, and although the lessons are helpful, nobody wants to teach using the sensor pen. It seems that they feel it’s cheating. So thanks for the info. Will go back and refer to your video many times. BTW, it would be helpful if you could show the dots on the bed of the machine with your left hand, as I still am unsure of where they are on my machine since your hand was in the way. But a great video and tutorial. Thanks!
Brad, This is the best video I have seen on my Crescendo's sensor pen, thank you! I believe I now know how to use it. The laser beam I had figured out. Thank you!
Thank you for the video about the digital pen. my crescendo is being delivered soon. and I live so far from the dealership where i will have to go to pick it up, i wont get to spend extra time with the lessons (live 250 miles away). I really enjoyed the video and I like that I can go back and rewatch it when i need it. Thanks again. PS maybe you could do another video on the crescendo/unity/spirit and some other features that may be Underused.
Thanks for adding the Spirit to this tutorial. Sry helpful in using the sensor pen. Bought my Spirit awhile ago, and am having fun with it. Not good at hooping or centering design on project, so the sensor pen will come in very handy. Can you reset where you want the design to go if you don’t like the first placement? Thanks for a great tutorial. A tutorial on just the Spirit would be very welcome.
Most comprehensive tutorial I have watched. I have understood and can now move forward .However my laser beam is slightly offset, bearing to the right . Any thoughts? Do you have any more tutorials on the machine functions
Outstanding information, I am new to the Destiny and your hand covers up what you are trying to show us with the pin. Can you adjust the angle of the camera please. I love the your information,but don't know what your touching. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you so very much.
Hi Brad! I just purchased the Unity machine and haven't picked it up yet, as it had to be ordered. I hope to have it early next week, so decided to watch a few videos before it comes in. Yours is the first video I am watching and I'd just like to say that you are an excellent teacher. I just have one request: it is impossible to see where you are touching with the Sensor Pen, as your hand is always in the way. :-) If you could somehow move the camera or use your other hand, it would help. Thanks so much for sharing your time with us new owners!
Old video with up today knowledge this was very very helpful I just purchased Baby Lock with the upgrade II. I love your videos I am new subscribers. For beginner with embroidery what videos do you recommend thank you.
Brad, I learned so much from this tutorial and reference it multiple times. One question I have is regarding the "needle beam" feature. It never looks lined up directly over the center of the design on my machine when starting a new design and I notice that in your video too so I imagine that is normal? From everything I've learned about it leads me to believe that it should line up, right? Do you know why it doesn't? This always makes me fearful I don't have my design lined up correctly.
this was a fabulous tutorial. Brad, are they discontinuing the Unity? I know others are on the chop block. thank you for your time. I wish you were closer.
not much that i've done but I just posted this seminar we had at my shop that was all about using the different feet, check it out. ruclips.net/video/pGzqvNHrg9o/видео.html
I have a Brother Dreamweaver with the sensor pen. I enjoyed your video and your explanations are very clear. But I suggest you adjust your camera so you can see where you are touching the pen on the fabric rather than the back of your hand.
Brad, near the end, you show the red laser dot, but it is not lined up with the center point of your cross mark. Shouldn't it be? When mine isn't, I use the buttons on the screen to move the needle to the perfect position. The sensor pen is terrific for getting it close and getting the angle right, but I always have to nudge it a bit manually to perfect the position...
I need help with using the laser beam/sensor pen on my Destiny2 to place a number on the back of a jacket. There is a design in place and I need to add numbers at the end. I can't get it to line up.
Your hand was blocking our view of where you were touching the machine bed with the sensor pen, so hard to get full understanding of what you were doing.

Now I feel like I can do it.
Thank you so much for making this video. I just purchased a Spirit and this is VERY helpful!

The video was very helpful. Much easier to understand than the book that came with the machine.
Thanks Brad

Thank you so much. I am just purchasing a Unity and I found your video very informative. 👍😀
Brad,
This is the best video I have seen on my Crescendo's sensor pen, thank you! I believe I now know how to use it. The laser beam I had figured out.
Thank you!
Glad you liked it, enjoy your Crescendo it's an awesome machine.
Thank you so much ! This helped me understand so much better. You are a great teacher.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This is great - helped a lot with the new Destiny I got in Los Angeles.
Thank you for the video about the digital pen. my crescendo is being delivered soon. and I live so far from the dealership where i will have to go to pick it up, i wont get to spend extra time with the lessons (live 250 miles away).

thanks for a great video. I am looking at buying a used Unity or journey machine, tis makes thing easy to understand
I've been thinking about upgrading my Ellegante 2 and this video was instrumental in my decision making. Excellent!!
Glad I could help!
Do you think that you could do some videos specifically for the Babylock Spirit?
thanks for this video cause I didn't know how to use sensor pen for embroidery. so thanks for help
Most comprehensive tutorial I have watched. I have understood and can now move forward .However my laser beam is slightly offset, bearing to the right . Any thoughts? Do you have any more tutorials on the machine functions
awesome and very informative, please keep them coming

yeah i need a cameraman. glad you liked the video though, thanks for your comment.
Well, keep making the videos because they are very informative and I know once i get my new machine, I'm going to be watching more!
Old video with up today knowledge this was very very helpful I just purchased Baby Lock with the upgrade II. I love your videos I am new subscribers. For beginner with embroidery what videos do you recommend thank you.
Good video; would love more videos on the SPIRIT. I love the machine but sure not using to full potential I am sure.
that was great. still learning my machine. do you have a tutorial for the walking foot
fantastic tutorial! Thank you

this was a fabulous tutorial. Brad, are they discontinuing the Unity? I know others are on the chop block.
thank you for your time. I wish you were closer.
have not heard anything about the unity being discontinued
+Brad Martin (Ellicott City Sew Vac) thank you. i thought not when they released a update not that long ago. I so appreciate your time.
Wonderful video. Very helpful..... I just purchased a Spirit and need help with the sensor pen. Do you have videos for Baby Locks sergers?
not much that i've done but I just posted this seminar we had at my shop that was all about using the different feet, check it out. ruclips.net/video/pGzqvNHrg9o/видео.html

When mine isn't, I use the buttons on the screen to move the needle to the perfect position. The sensor pen is terrific for getting it close and getting the angle right, but I always have to nudge it a bit manually to perfect the position...
yeah its not perfect, it helps if you calibrated the sensor pen though
+Brad Martin (Ellicott City Sew Vac) Thanks for the quick reply!
I purchased a Journey and so far I haven't seen any tutorials on the Journey.
do you have any videos on the bobbin or how to prevent needle breakage? tension is killing me and I've only had the machine 4 hours. :(
when you take the needle plate off are you putting it back on before you put the bobbin case back in? if you dont it will jam every time
Thank you!
I need help with using the laser beam/sensor pen on my Destiny2 to place a number on the back of a jacket. There is a design in place and I need to add numbers at the end. I can't get it to line up.
If you have a destiny you should use the camera to scan the jacket in the hoop
Thank you,
I don't know how to buy one of these in Europe. :(
Helpful, but would be even better if we could see where you are touching the pen, rather than your hand.
Nice video but do you realize that when ever you showed something, your hand was always in the way
Your hand blocked the tutorial on using sensor pen.
Your hand was blocking our view of where you were touching the machine bed with the sensor pen, so hard to get full understanding of what you were doing.
jesm1776 well sorry to waste your time i guess
