Baby Lock Long Arm and Pro-Stitcher Getaways




I cannot believe that May is here.  In April I was on the road more than I was at home. However, I received an abundance of fabulous information and training about the Baby Lock Regalia and the Pro-Stitcher software for the Regalia.  I was fortunate to be able to participate in the Baby Lock Long Arm Getaway and the Pro-Stitcher Getaway.


Using the skew feature.


During the Long Arm Getaway, I learned how to do basic maintenance on my long arm, how to use a variety of feet and rulers, the best practices for loading and how to adjust tension for a variety of thread types.  I even was able to record my stitches, alter them and stitch them out.  It is remarkable what these machines can do.



This is the design that I recorded using free motion on the Regalia.




I rotated and enlarged the design I recorded, then stitched it out.



During the Pro-Stitcher Getaway, I became familiar with the program.  I learned how to do updates, use the skew feature, create border patterns, use drag and drop, the best practices for edge-to-edge designs, and how to test your designs on your quilts using the Pro-Stitcher Designer Software.

Both getaways had volumes of information that has given me the confidence to dig into my quilt tops and get them done! Thank you, Denise Schober, who was the Baby Lock Training Specialist, and Baby Lock for hosting such a great opportunity.

If you are interested in participating in a Baby Lock Getaway, you can find out more about them on the Baby Lock website.  


Not only did a learn about the potential these products have, but I was also able to meet like-minded participants and look forward to seeing what they will create when they get back home!


I am looking forward to sharing what I accomplish with you!
