  Auto resizing and stitch recalculator done almost instantly! Designs can be resized from 60% to 200% in 5% increments right in the machine. Manual control of density of designs can also be done to maximize stitch density for best fill.

 Well, need I say more! My grandson loves the little cartoon "Air Bender". He will be delighted that his "Kahcoo" found these for him.

That's his name for me instead of Granny, who knew! He has discovered that I can sew costumes. Here is his mean look as a

"Teenage Mutant Ninji Turtle", now mind you this was at 9pm  and little fabric. Now, I have to make Ankz (please forgive my spelling, I'm old.)

They stitch out great.

One of the companies that contributes to iBroidery Designs is Anita

Goodesign. There are regular designs as well as licensed Disney and 

Pixar. You can buy 24/7 with instant design delivery to your very own computer.  You can even buy designs that have been retired from  

the machines and no longer available for that model. I am told that includes the "Big Mickey" from the Duetta series. There is an instant preview of a design as you draw your  mouse across the design. Information shown includes all machines that the design will work with. So are you ready for the meanest looking Ninji Turtle, ever!!! Here he is Steven the .......

First Day at Brother B2B

Brother Back to School Event in Nashville, Tennessee started on August 16th and will go through August 18th. We are here at the Renaissance HOtel connecting with the Nashville Convention Center, across the street from the famous Ryman Auditorium. Last night, my husband and myself went for a walk down 2nd Ave and Broadway to Church St. by Printers Alley which is the hub of nightlife and provided a "flair of Bourbon Street". There were horse and buggy rides, honky tonks ranging from rock to jazz to country. We ate at Big River Grille and found the food to be excellant.

This morning there was excitment and anticipation wondering how long it would be before the "new machine" would be revealed. As we waited, we were greated by songwriter and preformer, who had us clapping and singing Johnny Cash at 8:30 in the morning!

Then there was the Vice President of Laura Ashley and she was most informative of all the products they market. Laura Ashley is into paint, wall paper, carpet, clothing, fabric and home dec just to mention a few. So it is no suprise that given the expertise of knowing what women want, Laura Ashley is a perfect match for partnering with Brother Sewing Machine Company. Laura Ashley stands for quality, sense and sensibility; "a touch of English in every stitch".

The best was saved for the last! Finally we doned our 3-D glasses! We all watched with eagerness as the spectacular PR1000 came alive. It was beautiful to look at, a perfect ten! First, there was a visable 10 needles, a cap hoop with 360 degrees rotation, Innoveye using the Snowman Embroidery Positioning Marker,new PE Next software for linking numerous PR machines together recognizing each unique ID number, and if that's not enough, a new larger jumbo hoop 14" x 14". Now that 's something to get excited about.  Just in time for our fall seminar on November 1st and 2nd.

There will also be an Upgrade Kit for the Quattro 6000D! Can it get any better than this. If you thought the InnovEye was something, how about a new Scanning feature that lets you scan in your fabric as it is hooped (front collar and facing) and simply put your design on the garment as you see it. Are you ready for this...a recalulating of stitches automatically from 60 percent to 200 percent. There is also bobbin work case and cover with lots of bobbin work patterns and lots lots more! And we haven't even said a word of all the new features in the PE NEXT Software. It upgrades from Version 5.0-8.0.

This is only the first day! There will be lots more to report tommorrow. Right now our Brother rep Kyle Baber is treating all his Alabama dealers to a private pizza.

Oh boy, do I have an appetite...
