Machine Embroidery Videos

These videos are the BEST way to learn about machine embroidery! 

Sure you can take a live class... but where do you turn for help when it's 11 o'clock at night, you're back in your sewing room and you WISH you could see how the teacher did that little thing just one more time?  Sure you can read a book, but still pictures don't show what's in-between step-1 and step-2 very well do they?

The nice thing about videos is that you can pop it into your player and watch it again and again until you've go it!  And if you DO get stuck -- members of ATW can go to our Embroidery Forum  and ask questions!  There's probably someone around who's already done what you're trying to do.

"DVD videos" can be viewed on a TV set with DVD player connected to it. They CAN be viewed on a computer IF you have software installed to allow viewing movies on your computer.    "CD videos" can be viewed on a computer with a CD-Rom drive & speakers but require software to play videos.  There are many free software programs to allow playing videos on your computer.  Here's one of them...

We offer a flat-rate shipping of just $4.95 to USA and Canada regardless of how many videos are in your order!

Multi-Hooping With Nita O'KeefeTemporarily Unavailable!
Multi-Hooping With Nita O'KeefeTemporarily Unavailable!

Have you ever REALLY wanted to sew out a design - but it's too big for your largest hoop size?

Think there's nothing you can do except buy a new machine with a bigger hoop? Think again! 

In this video, Nita O'Keefe shows step-by-step how to split a design and then reassemble it in whatever size hoop you already own!  Watch as Nita takes a 5x7 design and sews it out in her 4x4 hoop in two parts. That's two parts that are PERFECTLY ALLIGNED with each other. And Nita shows YOU how to do the same thing.

All you need to make this possible is design editing software (such as Embird, or BuzzEdit or any number of other programs) that allow you to do simple embroidery design editing tasks. If you also have digitizing software, Nita shows you how to use your digitizing software to do the job, but if all you have is editing software, it can all be done just in your one program.   more info > > >

Simple Sales With Your Own Website
Simple Sales With Your Own Website

I've just finished production on this new video. It is called "Simple Sales With Your Own Website" and it covers the step-by-step process of setting up a simple and inexpensive website where you can sell your own product.

Becasue the product being sold on the site I built is an "e-book", I even show how I set up an automated delivery system. That means the buyer gets the product delivered to them instantly and automatically. This delivery system costs a few pennies per sale but has zero up-front cost and zero work to deliver the product to the customer. This is basically like setting up a vending machine on the internet, adding an infinite supply of the product and then collecting the money every day.

The only time it costs anything is when a product is SOLD and fees to pay for the financial transaction and the automated delivery are deducted from the money collected. Zero out-of-pocket costs!   more info > > >

The Pattern Maker / ME Story
The Pattern Maker / ME Story

This 1-Hour video interview with Becky J McNeill features a trunk show of what can be done using Pattern Maker / ME, how Becky got started with Cross-Stitching via machine embroidery, how PatternMaker evolved from a "hand" cross-stitch program to machine cross-stitch, what makes Pattern Maker / ME unique... and lot's more!

Becky talks in this video about how she was able to create the cross-stitch photo you see here of her grandson Logan using Pattern Make / ME in 12-minutes!

Don't be fooled by other so-called "cross-stitch" software on the market. All other digitizing programs that claim to create cross-stitch designs are really just making a fill-pattern that looks like cross-stitch. What you get with PatternMaker-ME is TRUE Cross-Stitch that looks exactly like you spent months stitching out a pattern -- when really your embroidery machine did it for you in a few hours!   more info > > >
