    Default Want to make quilt labels with new Brother SE400

    Hi, I'm new around here. I just got a new SE400 and I did a search and it looks like there are a few other SE400 owners on this forum. Could anyone tell me how to get started making a label? It looks like I have the right machine for the job....just don't know how to start! Thanks!

    Or you could just use your built in stitches making a frame then lettering with whatever you want to say on the quilt like your name, date, etc.

    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    I use Stitch Era Universal as my merging program since it also does true type fonts pretty well. Stitch Era Universal is a free embroidery digitizing program.

    Free Stitch Era Universal Download

    Once my text is added and centered the way I like I take that file into Sew What Pro (another embroidery program) and line everything up in the hoop. I add any frames I want to put on there. Then I convert it to my filetype. I wish I could do everything in SEU but it doesn't have a converter to my filetype so I have to use the second program.

    Your Brother machine should be able to easily add frames and text just using your screen so you probably wouldn't have to do all this unless you wanted a specific font.

    I just downloaded Sew What last night, and made a label in 5 minutes, sewed it out this morning, quick as a wink!

    Cool! You like Sew What Pro better than SEU? I couldn't get Sew What Pro fonts to work for me at all. They all stitched out horribly. Stitch Era Universal did much better with truetype fonts.

    What filetype do you need? SEU has so many machine type?
