Watch for new Online Classes this week!
I'm putting together my schedule of online classes for June right now. They will be up on my web site by Friday, May 22 and I'll also send out another email with details on the classes.
In June, I will be featuring classes at times that are suitable for my readers in Europe and Australia. Actually, everyone is invited to sign up for these classes, but the classes that are scheduled for Europe will be set to begin at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (GMT -05:00) which translates into 7:00 p.m. in London (GMT 00:00). The classes for Australia will begin at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight time (GMT -05:00) which translates to 7:00 p.m. in Sydney (GMT +10:00). So anyone who will be available during those hours is welcome to sign up as well.
I'm planning classes in 4D Embroidery Basics and 4D Design Creator for these sessions. If you have any srong desire for either class, or for something else, let me know and I'll try to schedule something if enough people are interested.

Add A Fill Video available
I always enjoy a challenge. And this month's video came from an email sent to me from Syndi. She asked me if there was any way to add fill stitches to the Shapes available on the Shapes page. Syndi wanted to create something like a patch for her husband's racing jacket.
I have never through about doing this before so I gave it some thought and realized that this would be a great subject for a video because it is easy to do...if you know how. You can view the AddAFill video by clicking here
While I was creating the video for the project, I realized that this would be a good time to create a new Shape Set to help you with the project. So I brushed off my 4D Font Digitizing skills and created a new Shapes Set that you can download for free and add to your software. This new Shapes Set will be a nice to have addition to your software. Details on how to download the Shapes Set can be found by clicking here.
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 book in July,I will have 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 June?
I'll begin a new series of videos to cover many of the various dialogs that pop up when you use your software. e.g. How to use the Color Selection dialog, How to use the Save As dialog, and so on. 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 a later video. |
