2 Disc Set of VIDEO CD's

In these two video-CD's, Holly Pike of Artistic ThreadWorks shows her secrets for making a great looking design in minutes using Generations.  Here's what's covered in these videos...

CD#1:  Introduction, Upper Toolbar, Side Toolbar, Setting up your workspace, Importing a Graphic, Cleaning Up An Auto-Digitized Design, Using Satin Fill, Editing The Outline, Color Changes, Reviewing The Design, Save & Export, Close & New, Fill A Void, Stitch Directions, Motif Fills, Color Sorting, Using The Stitch Player, and Saving Designs.

CD#2:   Merging Colors, Using Spiral Motif, Adding Highlights, Lock-Trim-Save, New Techniques, Using Stamped Patterns, More Highlighting, Advanced Color Sorting, Adding Curved Text To A Design, Manual Digitizing, Adding Manual Satin Stitch, Using the Circle Tool, Creating A Void, and the Summary.

Follow along while Holly generates the basic design using the first 7 clicks - then cleans up and enhances that design by changing colors, stitch types, fill patterns, and more.

To run these CD's you will need a pc with sound (speakers) and a CD-drive. You monitor must be capable of viewing in 800x600 or better mode.  (Use 1024 x 768 or higher for best results)

Note:  When these videos were made (August of 2006) Generations was on version 1.4 and that's what is shown in the video. Since then they have done some updates with version 1.5 and in the fall of 2008 with version 1.6 which is the current version. However, there is almost no noticable changes in the software from version 1.4 to 1.6 in terms of how it is used. The changes have been to new features added. The features are "bells and whistles" type, in other words, they don't affect how you digitize, but rather have added some new cool things.

Holly and I were talking about this topic last night and she will come out with another video this year showing the additional features and how to use them but what you learn from these videos will get you up to speed as a digitizer without needing to know about new special features.

 NOTE: This is NOT the Generations software program - this is a set of tutorials about how to use that software. It is assumed that you own or plan on buying Generations software.

One more note...
