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.
- Advanced Design Editing in both 4D Embroidery Extra and 4D Stitch Editor
- Advanced Planning Techniques for use with 4D Design Creator
- Creation and use of graphic fonts, such as WingDings, with the QuickFont Wizard
All of these topics are covered in my live classes because I have more time to respond to the needs and questions of my students there. Now, for the first time, I will be putting them 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.

Classes
Spring Classes in Cockeysville, MD
I will be teaching three different, nine hour long classes at Dulaney Senior High School in Cockeysville, MD under the auspices of the Community College of Baltimore County. The classes will be held in February, March, and April. Full details about these classes and enrollment instructions can be found here on my web site. I hope to see you there.
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
One of the really great features of the 4D Embroidery software is the ability to use the Machine Stitches fonts. Even if you do not have a Viking or Pfaff machine, you can still create designs using these beautiful stitches. This month's video will show you how to create frames with your Machine Stitches and the Encore feature of your software.
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.

Closeout of remaining 3D Books
When I release my new books in July, that will be creating a storage space problem for me. I still have 500 copies of my first book Essentials of 3D Embroidery Studio and almost 400 copies of Basic Digitizing. Both of these books were written for and aimed at owners of the 3D Embroidery System software, If you have the 4D Embroidery System software, then you do not need either of these books. The material covered in these books is now covered by 4D Embroidery Basics and 4D Design Creator Basics respectively. But if you are planning to continue to use your 3D software and you want a copy of any of these books, then now is the time to get them. I have been offering all three copies of my 3D books (Essentials of 3D Embroidery Studio, Basic Digitizing, and, on CD ROM only, 3D Embroidery Studio Unleashed) in a package deal for $40.00 (which includes free shipping via U.S. Priority Mail or Global Priority Mail if you are located outside of the Continental United States). But now, through June 30, 2009, I am reducing the price to $30.00. After June 30, 2009 these books will no longer be available in print.

What's Coming In February?
I'm looking for ideas for the February video. I want to do videos about the subjects that you want to hear about. 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 February. |
