Embroidery software can take your “in-the-hoop” quilting even further!  With this software, you can modify quilt designs or make your own.  Both Pfaff® and Husqvarna Viking® offer the Premier+™ 2 Embroidery Software, which include many designs that can be used for machine quilting.  This software also includes a “Quilt Block Wizard” which enables you to easily create and stitch out your own quilt blocks, with different types of motif fills and lines.

Choose one of the feather designs included in the software, and use “Resize” to make the design larger or smaller, which automatically adjusts the stitch count accordingly.  Copy and mirror image to combine two feather designs into one big design to stitch out.  Resize also works with quilt designs (and embroidery designs) that you have purchased elsewhere.

The embroidery software enables anyone to create or manipulate quilting designs and stitch them out, regardless of the on-screen capabilities of your machine.  Even with machines that have many on-screen features, manipulating designs on a computer allows you to easily make changes and view your design.  Want to use only part of an existing design?  The possibilities are endless!  

The photos are of my friend’s quilt with designs she modified using the Premier+™ 2 embroidery software and which she quilted on her Pfaff® Creative Performance™ sewing/embroidery machine.  The quilt was pieced by her husband on his Pfaff® Creative™ 2.0.  What a team!
