Excellent tutorial!! I have had my machine for 7 years and I have never used the sketch pad, or even set it up. Thank you for the step by step instructions and the preview of the features.
This is the first time I saw your videos- WOW- I am inspired! I have had my machine for about eight years and Never used my camera or drawing pad. I will try using them now! All I need is the pen ( having the machine for so long and not using them I have lost it) I hope they are able to be ordered. Thanks I am now following you and hopefully will learn so much more now.. thank you so VERY MUCH
Thanks! I got mine installed but couldn't get the sketch pad to work. No where did it tell me to put the designer program on a usb drive! Three years later I found this video! It Works!
Brad, I cannot tell you how nice it is to watch your video's. I have the Ellisimo Gold 2 and don't know how to use most of what it can do. Your videos are changing that! Thank you so very much. Please keep up your tutorials ....please
thank-you Brad. I figured there had to be a way to resize your design I'm just not sure of all the steps you take to resize the design. I've watched your video more then just a few times to give myself the confidence I need to work this sometimes scary machine. Thank-you again.
Thank you so much for the Machine embroidery lesson. I have used my Ellisimo Gold 2 twice now. I am trying to learn how to do things on it. I just got it this week and had not embroidered before. Wow! It is so much fun!!! My first mistake was hooping the stabilizer so it was attached on the front of the fabric! I was able to design my own stitch pattern using the On Screen Tablet. Once I saw this video it was so easy. I wrote my name & added a bumble bee flying away. Just to try it. Is it possible to combine a USB stitch pattern & a hand signature? It was difficult telling where the bee was on the screen. I could not make the bee smaller with more than one subject to adjust. . So I need to watch this video again. Thank you so much for you time in sharing your talents!!!
Since i cannot afford a software right now, i would need to learn with the tablet on screen, i just have to figure out how, lol! THANK YOU soooo much, i already watched some of your other videos. So did my 5 year old...lol.
Great video Brad. I get my machine in 2 more days, Ellisimo Gold II and cannot wait so while waiting I'm learning. One question so far, will all this work for Windows 10?
Thank you so much for the videos that you produce it is so helpful. I just purchased the Ellisimo Gold II and am wondering exactly what software that I need to digitize and also can I use a Apple product with this machine. My machine is completely upgraded.
A tutorial on setting up the continious border attachment, including download upgrade to make it all work. This would be so helpful. The instructions are lousy. Do you know of any tutorials that cover this particular attachment?
I tried again, shut the machine down and started again and this time I could select the ink well after I set the design. So it seems to be working. Perhaps I did not hold the stylus pen on the screen long enough. I may need to read more about this feature. As the scissors do not cut or I should say highlight and the flowers.. not sure if that is to import a design. But I can't seem to get that to highlight either. But I was able to get the nose black. Yipee! One step at a time. I usually do ballerinas for little girls in my Sunday school primary class but this one little girl wants an English Bulldog like her grandpa's. I had to Google it as I had no clue what one looked like. Ha! I think I will call it a day. This poor brain needs some nourishment. Thank you so much for your help. You are a life saver.
I have followed all your instructions. Blue light flashes on tablet when I plug it in. My machine is fully updated. Does the embroidery module need to be connected? I’m at a loss.
Hello , I am looking at buying a used Ellisimo 2 but I am having the hardest time trying to find a list of things that come with the machine . This is a private 2nd owner it was her mothers that passed away . Any way is there a list somewhere that i can make sure everything is there? Thanks Like the cd that you are demonstrating.
There must be something more I'm not doing. Application check setting has been on the whole time. I downloaded the new upgrade for the certification key. I'm assuming that would be the first step which I had not done, but it still did not make a difference on installation. New flash drive has nothing else on it. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Are there any other files on that drive that need to be installed along with the OS7? Thank you for your help.
I have purchased a Ellisimo Gold from a friend and have watched your video over and over. I can get the drawing done, I’ve managed to enter one color. But when I try to move to another portion to color, it just makes the can’t do it noise or the section I already colored changes instead. What am I doing wrong?
I have the Ellisimo Gold and have Kit I, II, III installed. I do not have my pen (with moving van) but I have the sketchpad. I have plugged in the sketchpad and the On screen designer/sketch pad page does not appear.could the battery be dead? does the special pen need to be used before the program recognizes the designer program. I thought I could use the screen on the Ellisimo to create a design ....
I have the first Ellisimo and have already done the first upgrade. Several years ago I purchased Upgrade 2 but never installed it. Now that I have seen your great video I did exactly as you said, but for some reason my machine is not reading my flash drive. My upgrade CD had more files on it than yours. I did find the OS7 and only put that on my flash drive. Still it will not read it as nothing comes up. First question, should the machine have the embroidery unit attached when installing? Second question, I'm using my original 1GB Babylock flash drive, does it need to be 2GB? After seeing your video I'm anxious to get up and running with the sketchpad, but I need help with installation. Thank you, Cindie Ross
make sure you have application check set to "on" in your settings menu. Barring that, try using a new flash drive. Doesn't seem to matter the size as I have used drives of all capacities and had it work. also don't have anything else on the drive. good luck!
Brad you make learning fun and easy I just a one question . Why is it that when I draw out my design on the tablet it is Never the same size as I drew? And How do I fix this? I have the Baby Lock Ellisimo Gold 2 thank-you
its not the same size because the screen size is not 1:1 scale to the pad. You can resize your design before you sew it out on the editing screen though.
Is there a way to take a design on paper and transfer it to the machine so that it will outline stich the design (so it looks like it was quilted)? Something tells me I would need digitizing software (?) Not even sure what this is. Can you tell me what would be the least expensive way of doing this? Thank you and your videos are really helpful.
No it won't do outlines that look quilted. Yes you would need some kind of digitizing software to do it. You could find someone who digitizes embroidery designs and pay them to digitize the design you want, that'd be the cheapest way to get one or two made. If you want software to do this expect to pay ~$1000 bucks at least. The new machine that's coming out will have the ability to do it built in though, so trade in your ellisimo on a destiny =D
Is there anyway to use the on screen designer to draw a stippling design for a quilt? I don't want to have a satin stitch - want to have a running stitch. It doesn't look like there's a way to do that but thought I would ask the expert. Thanks
Hi Brad, I bought my Elli gold II from a good friend she cannot find the disk so I can use the pen and tablet. You mentioned that you could send me the file. I have contacted the Baby Lock and they sent me a zip file but we can not get it to open. Please help me.
Great video! however, We have lost the CD that includes the OS file. We searched online but haven't found any links. Do you mind if you can please give me a copy of OSDesign.rp7? Thank you so much.
Hi Brad, just wanted to know if you could direct me as to how to download to windows 10? it sees the manual but not the upf file. I would be more than willing to pay you for a upload to a usb if possible
Hi Brad, i just got this machine and your videos are haven send for me. I have a doubt, can i design appliques with the sketch pad? Or i would definitely need to buy a software for it? (Which i can't do for a whilesince the machine was so expensive. Is there a way to do applique with the embroidery patterns itself?
I was able to make a design on designer table and save it to the stick. Cannot get the design from the stick to show up on the sewing machine for embroidering. I have a baby lock ellisimo 11 embroidery machine. Anyone got information that can help me?
I've watched your video on the tablet. I was able to draw my design, save it and retrieve it. Now what? Do you have to pick the stitches to use; i.e. satin stitch etc? What is the next step to using your design so the machine will embroider it?
Stella Volmer you exit the on screen designer program, and sew it out like any other design. The stitches are already set. If you saved it to the memory pocket, thats where you open it in the embroidery mode, or if you saved it to the usb stick you open it from there.
Stella Volmer When I tried to do this is gave me an error message. Don't remember the exact wording but it was saying the image wasn't loaded. I could not find it in memory and I did not see where you could pick the USB drive. maybe I need a lesson on how to take load a design on a USB and download it to the sewing machine. ?????
I purchased the Ellisimo Gold from FB market. I can not get the screen to pop up. I found a CD where the stick was. It is a small CD tht says "Driver" Blue with stars. Is this the one I need to download to the stick. Because if it was not I just deleated everything off the stick. I do not have the proper disk to down load. Can you help me. Erma
@@EllicottCitySewVac Thank you very much. I will have my son do it for me tomorrow. But a Question! Have you found anyother pen or know of anyone who has luck on another Pen that will work with the Skitch pad. (it is missing)
Can I trace a design for the middle of a quilt block, like say an apple, and just have it outline stitch the apple? Not fill it in, so it looks more like a quilting stitch and not a filled in embroidery with colors? Hope this makes sense......
@@EllicottCitySewVac Is there a way to get the CD downloaded for me and mail it to me? I just bought the Ellisimo gold,but they lost the cd. Please contact me at terrilamere@yahoo.com

If I may ask.. I can get the drawing done just fine. I have stitched out my signature just to do a test. but the icons to "fill" with color or to select image the flower box does not seem to be working. If I select a color then the whole drawing turns to that color. Could you show more steps on how to resolve this issue please? I am sure it is operator error.
Brad Martin Thank you for your reply. I did a basic dog face. Just to fill in the plain nose to black that is all. Perhaps the eyes to black / fill in. It is a simple drawing.
try filling it in with a different color, for some reason I can't get it to let me use black, just like in the video. also make sure you have the fill icon highlighted, it looks like a pot of ink falling over and it should be blue in fill mode
Brad Martin yes, I can click the pot of ink but just get a "boink" noise. It does not highlight. Also the flower icon next to it does not highlight. I will try in a few minutes. I went on to do another embroidery project. I was really not expecting you to reply so quick :) I did make a cute design a few weeks back by watching your video. I did not realize I needed to use that flash drive each time I use the sketch pad. So I watched again today.. thinking well I have already gone through the computer download process. But after an hour, getting bummed.. I watched and listened to your video again and saw my error.
glad to help. i just happened to be at the computer when you sent me the question. instead of going straight for the pot of ink , hit the button directly left of it first. I think that will make it work.
