   Erica, thank you so much for your wonderful, clear, easy-to-follow directions. As Margaret mentions, you are an excellent teacher. Can you perhaps explain why mine does now show a preview (like yours) when you click paragms?

      Thanks so much! It may just take a little while to show up – could that be the issue?

   I noticed that the pes is for a brother sewing machine. If I have a Bernina I use the .exp extension, so should I use that extension rather than the pes. Is there a reason that you only mention the .pes. or do we convert it to fit out particular machine later.

      There are other embroidery formats available in the dropdown so take a look there when you go to save. I just used .pes since that’s most common 🙂

   Debbie Weatherhead you would save it in your format.

   I am saving a 2 color design and it saves it as a one color design plus it is grouped together so when using Embrilliance I cant go in and change colors… any tips? Again game changer and thanks for the amazing tutorial

      If you email me the file I can take a look and may be able to understand better what the specific issue is.

   Thank-you so much for all you do to help us learn new things. I have learned so much from you and this web site. I love the videos and many times have to stop and go so I can write down directions. I am both a visual and written word learner, in addition to being in an “older” age group and not as fluent in technology. I want to thank-you again for the valuable resources you provide.

   Hello, Erica When trying to change the SVG to an embroidery file what does the error mean when it says “the border crosses over itself ? Thanks

      This can sometimes happen when nodes create cut paths that cross over themselves. I would adjust the nodes in the area of trouble and see if that fixes it.

    I am trying to ungroup some text and it just will not work. I’m using a font that’s not cursive but there is an i in the middle.

       Use the Text > Text to Glyphs option

    Erica I have a file that has a color background and white text. I’m trying to keep the lettering and remove the color background. How do I do that? Please

    Hi Erica I was able to figure it out. I deleted all of the nodes for the surrounding color that I didn’t want. Thanks.
