Is it possible to change the type of stitch and add backstitching to an imported image with the standard version?

Yes!! You can customize all of the details of your patterns!! All the way from the type of stitches stitches (can choose to not do any 1/2 or 1/4 stitches, and also can select if you want backstitching), you choose the size, tell it which size fabric you are using, and can also customize to the amount of colors you want to work with... I work on large projects always and this program is perfect for me making my own patterns!!

If you have this program check on page 81 of the manual. It discusses outputting to a different format. That should help you and also if you want to convert embroidery designs to other formats check on page 223. The other option would be to look what Amazon has in embroidery design book by Carol _______. She gives very detailed instructions. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful but because of copyright laws, I'm afraid to copy down any/all instructions.

No, the image may only be resized. To edit designs you would need embroidery software .

Nothing beyond the on camera display crop, red eye, etc...you need a separate program if you want to do any significant tweaking

Yes, if you convert the your proprietary raw files to DNG using the free Adobe DNG Converter. More detail here: http://adobe.ly/ACRandDNG

If I'm understanding your question correctly......you would have to first copy the stitch files from the disc to your computer...then transfer the files to a compact flash card and you need a compactflash adapter to put into your machine if you shoot me an e-mail to rkellybilla@gmail.com I can send you some photos

as one of the decorative stitches? I m sorry I don't remember...if you mean chain piecing...yes but it stops in needle up position only so pivoting is a problem for me...

The machine should be able to change the size of the letters after you put the design in. This only makes a design larger but does not add more stitches so if you enlarge a lot fabric may show thru your design.

You could always try. The backs are made of tough-seeming plastic, which I believe could probably hold a stitch. If it doesn't hold for forever, it should hold for a long time I'm guessing. And there are a lot in this package, so you could always sew new ones on. I'd say to go for it if you can't find what you're actually looking for.

It should work very well but I wouldn't want to do it regularly because of the extra time involved. I try to use a bigger scanner and only stitch if absolutely no other way. Everything I've stitched so far turned out very good though. I have since started using Microsoft ICE to do the stitching. Works better for me than the one supplied by Flip-Pal.

When you are in Windows Explorer looking at your list of embroidery designs purchased, you will see a generic icon next to the file. This is not helpful. The Thumbnailer gives you a thumbnail picture of the design rather than a generic icon. This makes it very easy to quickly look through your designs to find what you need. Beware, however, the colors shown in the thumbnail can be bizarre and not representative of the actual colors of the design thus making it hard to discern what it is a picture of. I don't know what Essentials has; perhaps the thumbnailer is included. Work with what you for a while. If it gets irritating that all you see in Windows Explorer is a generic icon then purchase the thumbnailer. It does not do anything other than render a design. It is not software that you open; it just works once you install it. I like it except for the bizarre colors. It seems to be all my designs from Embroidery Library web site are shown with the wrong colors. (Simplicity SE3 machine and PC with Windows 8.1)

No this software is just a editing software not a digitizing software. You would need the digitize and stitch software.

In addition to the attached presser foot for normal sewing, there are: a blind stitch hem foot, a hemmer foot, an overedge foot, a zipper foot, a transparent buttonhole foot, a zigzag foot and an automatic buttonhole foot. When I use a zigzag stitch, I use the normal foot (don't change it to a zigzag foot) and it works fine. I use this machine almost daily and am very satisfied.

Yes, I create my own vector designs and import them from adobe illustrator. You will have to trace your cut lines once your image is imported so that can be a bit tricky but the silhouette program has a feature that makes it a bit easier.

I agree with gimp's answer below.I think the threads in the quick connect are finer threads.

There is a setting under "Margin", Change the margin from "normal" to "chain print." (From a comment)

If you find one, please let the rest of the world know. I miss PrintShop a lot, but the new 3.5 is worthless and I sent mine back. Hopefully they will come up with something.
