Teresa, I haven't been ignoring you.........I swear I am still trying to figure out how to add an avatar. Someone tell me what I am doing wrong! PLEASE!!!!

Here is the picture I am trying to use from photobucket - this is the size of it after I resized it.

It still says it's too big! What else can I do?

 

[luv2go2disney]

Thank you for your suggestions. That is a new mat. I will try moving the paper over. But it is still tearing in the middle by the number.


The Speed is on "1" and the Pressure is on "4"

Maybe I should try a different paper?

I haven't read to the end yet but I think it could be your cardstock. It looks like it is textured? I have problems w/ my cricut when I use the textured cardstock. The blade gets a little hung up in the those dimples...Good luck I can't wait to see the finished product...I might need to CASE it!

When you upload it click on the size as avatar in the photobucket options. It will take the regular picture and then U/L to photobucket as avatar size. Then when you D/L it is the right size.

Does that make it clear as mud?

I never uploaded my avatar pic to photobucket. I just took it right off my computer and it automatically resized to avatar size and worked. Maybe try it without going through photobucket.

Try going to "User CP" on the upper left of a page. Then look at the columns on the left and hit "edit avatar." Next scroll down and it gives you the option to pull a picture off your computer (it's option 2). I think that's how I did mine.

Super cute!!!!!


HELP PLEASE!!!!

I am looking for a god Indiana Jones Mickey image to applique on a shirt for my son. I can't find a good one. Any help would be VERY appreciated.

If it helps it is my birthday

how about this one?

I know part of the whip is missing, but maybe you could draw it in? I'll keep looking.

So my 3 year old just told me I ruin her life! hahahahahahahaha So, it starts early. I didn't tell my mom that til I was like 12! hehe

So, DS is getting annoyed that Sissy gets stuff from mommy for school and he only got a first day outfit. So yesterday afternoon and this morning I decided to help the little dude out. He's totally into dinos at the minute, so I ran with that.

Here's the first set (excuse the set up)

In case it's hard to see, it's a triceratops skeleton on the top and dino fossil print shorts

here's the second

here's a close up of the head:

and here's where I learned something important; never, ever fail to fully appreciate angels w/ digitizing software like Heather Sue. Because she doesn't do dinos, I thought, sure, I can pick this up somewhere, no problem. 24 thread changes, 40,000 stitches and multiple redos because the colors were wrong later, I finally have a stinkin' t-shirt.

oops, missed a jump stitch, sorry.
If anyone else in interested in the fabric for the shorts, I just got it at Hobby Lobby.

Question Alert !!!
Has anyone done Carla's simply sweet jumper top with the halter back, how did it work out? I am putting together Maddie's AK dress and I would like the jumper front with the halter back but I am afraid to do it wrong. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

[ireland_nicole]

Ever so slightly OT random musing:

While I was waiting for the dino to stitch out, I was thinking (dangerous, as always) and I wondered:

Do you think Phineas and Ferb might have been in some way loosely based on Ferris Beuller's day off?

First there's the whole alliteration F thing
But then there's the whole bigger and better than anyone could have ever imagined thing
And the sister who desperately wants to bust him thing
And the whole big grin sail through life attitude thing...

I'm sure there are more parallels, but that's as far as I got; I just wondered what y'all thought since we're obviously big Phineas and Ferb fans here

 

[minnie2]

how about this one?

Thanks that is actual the image I wanted but every site I went to it wouldn't let me take the image! Now I got it I just eed to figure out a way to make it less grainy in photo shop so I can trace it...

Found this one, maybe it will help:

 

[minnie2]

Found this one, maybe it will help:

I tried that one but with my limited applique skill I would need the image GIANT to be half way decent! I actually printed this out out and well it was not pretty
Thank you!

 

[snubie]

Thanks, all, for the suggestion re: the Brother PE700ii rather than the PE350. (I was going to multi-quote but don't know how to do it?)

So, I'm almost ready to buy the PE700ii but wanted to get your opinions... Is it really complicated to learn how to use it? I'm a complete newbie to embroidery machines and a bit of a newbie at sewing altogether so I want to make sure it's something I can figure out and not get frustrated! In all honesty - my sewing machine sat in my basement for three years 'til I just brought it up a couple of weeks ago. I was too scared to figure out how to use it! LOL.

I just got the PE700II a few weeks ago. It is really easy to use. I haven't done too many finished projects with it yet but I have been playing with it using scrap fabric. The hardest part for me is the hooping and the stabilizing.

I have been lurking the last few weeks, just wait for school to start so I have time to sew We start next Tuesday, so I am excited
Anyway! I love all the fun stuff you guys are posting and I am see a ton of patterns I need to add to my wish list.
My question tonight is... anyone have a good (easy) pattern for a fleece jumper? In the last JoAnn flyer I got I saw a pic of a New Look pattern (6639)

its a cute, basic looking fleece jumper and I want to make something along those lines. I was wondering if you think I could get close with the A-line? Would that work in fleece and what modifications would I want to make? I love the e-patterns and am a bit afraid of trying a traditional pattern, but maybe I am ready. I love the idea of some fleece dress jumpers for DD.
Thanks.

I think Carla's A-line would work well with fleece. I may just try that myself.

Maddie will wear this at Mickey's Backyard Barbeque.

CUTE!!

Oh this is just great for a boy. That seems to be a problem most are for girls and nothing for boys. You did a super job!

 

[Tink561]

You all sure have been posting some really cute stuff lately. I'm sorry I haven't had the time to comment on each thing but they are super cute!

I'm busy getting everything ready. We we will be at WDW in 7 days!!!!

 

[karebear1]

I had to work this morning and I just finished my Salad. I am going to try some different paper right now and see if that paper tears.

I am also going to turn down the pressure.

Hope I didn't break it! Mine is a Little Bug and I have had it for 2 years now and so it isn't under warranty.

Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions for my Cricut problem. I turned down the pressure and it isn't tearing the paper now.

Oh good!! I'm glad it worked out for you!

I hadn't seen your post until this afternoon- and that was when someone quoted it. I don't know what's going on, but my my computer often skips pages of posts.... gotta figure that one out!

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Ok, there's just been too much chatting going on lately. I hate that I can barely even keep up (who am I trying to kid - I CAN'T keep up) much less post much anymore. Everything's been great as usual. I do have some things to post, but I have to get the pics uploaded & my home computer so so very slow at that. I'll try to get them posted soon. I started working full time again a few weeks ago & it's taking some major adjusting on my part to keep everything running smoothly. I haven't done this is nearly 7 years.

Wow, that party looks amazing!! Great job!! So what did she wear to the party? I have some Eiffel Tower fabric that would have been perfect!!

Eiffel Tower fabric???? What's it look like? Where'd you get it? I have a small (read: HUGE) addiction to the Eiffel Tower. They're all over the house.

That party was adorable, btw. I love the chocolates.

Great as always. That fabric is perfect for Ariel. The Cinderella skirt outfit was great too. I love the cuties. If I had an embroidery machine, I'd be helping with that eye surgery too.

Cute! You did a great job & it looks like she likes it a lot.

 

[ericalynn1979]

OK ladies, I need your help. I've been feverishly working on my DD's Jessie costume for MNSSHP on October 1st. Now that it's pretty much done, I need something else to fill my time.

So I'm going to make a matching trick or treat bag.

What I need is an embroidery pattern for Jessie to fit a 4x4 machine embroidery hoop. I have plenty of left over cow print and yellow fabric, so I have a design in mind, but I REALLY need a Jessie.

BTW - if anyone would like to see a sneak peek of the shirt (incomplete of course) here it is! I've finished it, and I just have to hem the chaps on the front of her jeans.

Very cute!


Jeanne, Lily's Halloween outfit was adorable (and so is she)!

The boys outfits are really cool. We don't go in for dinosaurs much at my house - the girls think they're too loud & scary.
