In this video, we’ll revise the ornament we created in Video: Creating A Holiday Ornament, add some text, reshape it conform to the ornament, and then save a Building Block frame as a Monogram frame. Read the rest of this entry »
While Generations can auto-digitize an image, it isn’t a mind reader. What you do after those initial steps determines the final design. Watch how to turn a simple floral image into a shaded and more dimensional design worthy of embroidering. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve had quite a few requests from embroiderers wondering where this design is on the Christmas Elements collection. This collection, like all others in the Building Block series is designed so that you can create your own combinations. Read the rest of this entry »
If you haven’t already figure it out, Building Blocks are one of my favorite features in Generations. These designs are usually simpler elements created to combine into your own compositions.
Building Blocks are a special MNG format and, as such, are not directly openable in Generations. Instead they must be installed in a special locations. Installing and accessing Building Blocks is covered in this video. Read the rest of this entry »
At this point I do not sell Generation, mainly because I simply do not have the staff to support such products.
I believe in supporting your local dealer. However, Generations dealers seem to be far and few, so here are two great places to purchase Generations.
Both offer excellent service and support, plus they have nearly everything an embroiderer could possibly want. I recommend each highly. Please tell them I sent you!
If you already have digitizing software that you find too difficult to use, check about trading in your old dongle. While I can’t guarantee that this option may be available, it’s worth asking about!

It was more work than I imagined. More time than I imagined. More frustrating than I imagined. More rewarding than I imagined but at long last, it’s done!

This collection came at the request from my good friend Ramona Baird and is a predominantly daisy-themed collection. While most of the designs were digitized in Generations, a couple predate when I started creating designs with this program. If you download the Generations files, you’ll find these included as DST files.
This group features some novelty techniques such as fringing, 3D flowers, and buttonholes. While I’ve stitched the daisies in blue—they show up better that way!—you can stitch them in colors of your choice. Read the rest of this entry »
If you haven’t been really wowed with designs you’ve seen demo’d in Generations using the auto-digitizing techniques, then take a look at this collection.
This exquisite group of designs was manually digitized in Generations and features all the rich details and shading you’ve come to love from the designs I did with Cactus Punch. Now you can have them as native Generations files!
These designs are sized for 4×4 hoops. Details on color counts, design size, and stitch counts can be found here. Read the rest of this entry »
