Projects for New Book
 
Here is a sneak peek at our newest book!
 
Everything is really coming together for our new book, set for release in July 2009.  Thanks to the many readers who submitted questions and ideas for the new book.  Some of the suggestions and questions were for things that I have already covered in my previous books and I responded to those questions directly.  Some people submitted requests for topics that will be covered in this new book.
 
Here is a list of items and projects that will be covered in this new book.  This list is not all inclusive.  I will be releasing more information next month. 
  • Basic coverage of 4D Cross Stitcher
  • Basic coverage of 4D Sketch

Many readers have asked for a book on these two modules.  However, neither of these particular modules contain enough features and tools that warrant a full book.  Well, I have heard your requests and I plan to provide some basic instruction in these modules in this new book.

If you are still thinking about something to send in for this new book, please feel free to do so.  It's not to late to make a submission.
 
If we use your idea for one of the projects, then I will send you an autographed copy of this new book before it goes out for general distribution and sales.  You will be one of the first people in the country (possibly the world) to have a copy of this new book.  So put on your thinking caps and send in those requests.
 
Class Announcement Change 
After talking with the folks at Patches Quilting and Sewing in Mt. Airy, Maryland we decided to cancel the 4D Design Creator class originally scheduled for this month.  However, we have rescheduled that class and another 4D Embroidery Basics class for this Spring.  The new class dates are as follows:
  • 4D Embroidery Basics will be held on 3 consecutive Tuesdays on March 17, 24, and 31 from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m  
  • 4D Design Creator Basics will be held on 3 consecutive Wednesdays on April 15, 22, and 29 from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.

New Video Presentation Available 
 
Sorry about sending out an  email with a bad link.  This link is accurate.
 
I'm sure that you know how to create a Motif FIll with two different Motifs.  But do you know how to create a Motif Fill with two different Motifs and two different colors?  It's easy to do...once you know the secret that is revealed in this video.
 
This video was created in response to a question asked by Doris Candish from the United Kingdom.  Incidentally, Doris was the very first person in the United Kingdom who purchased one of my books when I first started out.  We can all thank Doris for this inspiration.

If you do not have a broadband connection and still have questions about this process, please feel free to contact me through my web site email links with your specific questions about this process.
 
Please take a moment and look at this presentation and then, if you have the time, let me know what you think about it.  Was it too long, too short, or just right?  And, most importantly, do you want to see more videos?  If you have a question that you would like answered with a video, then click here to send me an email.
 
Free Downloads 
All of our 3D books contained a chapter on computer skills.  After writing our first 4D book, I decided to eliminate that material from all future books and make it available to everyone as a free download on my web site.  Recently, I redesigned my web page and the old address shown in my earlier books as the location for these files changed.  I corrected that reference on the new web site and created a new location for these files. 
 
If you want to see and/or download these files, just click on this link and you'll find these files.
Ordering Books Directly From Great Software Documentation, Inc.
 
All of the our books that cover the 4D Embroidery software system sold exclusively through authorized Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff dealers in the United States and Canada.  However, if you are located outside of the united States and Canada, I am authorized to sell these books directly to the consumer.  
 
Because our books that cover the 3D software are no longer carried by Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff dealers, then I am allowed to sell copies of these books directly to the consumer.  I have a limited number of Essentials of 3D Embroidery Studio, and Basic Digitizing.  Some local dealers may also have copies of these books still in stock.  I strongly recommend that you support your local dealers by purchasing these books from them whenever possible.  However, If you wish to order any of my 3D books, or, if you are outside of the United States and Canada, then you can click here and look at the bottom of this page for a link to email in your order.
What's Coming In January?
I'm getting a little better at working with the video software, so I may be able to produce two videos in January.   If you have any topics that you would like to see covered in this newsletter, in a short video,  or on my web site, then send me your request in an email by clicking here.  Tell me in your email if it's OK for me to give you credit for the topic and/or question and I will do so in January.
