Hi! I’m Anne Beckett with Anne’s Embroidery in Austin, Texas for Expert Village. We’re still on color number one it’s a bit crazy to not go color by color because you have to keep changing the colors on the needles and that’s really a pain the rear you might as well just get your colors done. Now sometimes if you have something where you have something with a design which has five colors in it but some of these colors do sit on top of one another and you can’t get there any other way you do have to put extra color changes in. Now this design some people might do that but I can see that he went over the yellow the blue he didn’t put the yellow down and come back and do that, so I’m going to do what he did essentially. Here we go…always, always, always name and save your design immediately because if you have worked on your design if you’ve done any kind of design work or digitizing, anything computerized there are many times that you can just lose everything. So may have worked for many hours on a design or even just a short period of time you got it just right and boom everything goes off and you have nothing to show for it. This will create a backup file every 15 minutes so regardless it’s backing up unless I don’t name it which I just did.
