We've never offered this deal before and frankly we may be crazy to do it now, but we want these on YOUR BOOKSHELF and this is the best way we can think of to do it! One more note... "The Basics Of Machine Embroidery" disk is a DVD. It can be played on a DVD player hooked up to a TV set. The "Computer Skills For Machine Embroidery" disk is a CD-Rom. It can be played on your computer. Most people already have the software for playing this type of CD-based video on their computer. If you DON'T have it already you can get free video player software from this site... http://www.videolan.org/ Look for the Download Now link on the right side of the page. Here's what's on the 1st disk... Machine Embroidery Basics: "I've Got The Machine Home... Now What?" (The video is available on DVD and runs 60-minutes in length. It plays on a standard TV set with DVD player attached or built-in. It does NOT play on a computer UNLESS you have a DVD drive AND video play software installed. Sorry - not available on video tape for VCR players.) Here's what's on the video... The 9 Elements Of Good Machine Embroidery

Easy Conversion Inches To Millimeters The video was created for two reasons... First - many of the questions in our discussion forum are about these topics. We thought it would be great if all the answers were in one place and in the very easy to learn format of a video. Second - An estimated 80,000 people will become first-time embroidery machine owners in the U.S. alone over the next 12 months. One of the biggest problems facing those people will be getting caught in buying designs that they didn't know were stolen! After watching this video - they will be aware of what's going on and how to avoid being scammed by unscrupulous design sellers! The retail store versions will be packed in standard DVD video cases with commercial artwork and shrink wrapping. We are currently setting up our distribution systems for this purpose. Our hope is that every person buying a new machine in a sewing store will also walk out the door with this "getting started" video and avoid what we know can be a very painful learning process. (Note To Artistic ThreadWorks Members: On this special package price there is no additional member's discount.) Frequent Questions About This Video: Q: Can this be shipped internationally?
A: Yes! Please select "International Shipping" when you go through the checkout. Q: What machine is this for?
A: The video covers things that are not specific to one particular machine but rather applies to all machines. For example - how to get the hoop to grab the fabric without stretching it and causing puckers is the same whether you are using a Janome hoop or a Viking hoop. All the topics covered are universal regardless of brand of machine. Q: Can I pay for this with a check or money order?
A: Unfortunately - No. We have no way to coordinate the receiving of checks at one location with the shipping of videos at a different location. Q: Can I pay for this with PayPal?
A: Unfortunately - No. We do not monitor our PayPal account for video sales and have no way to coordinate it with shipping at this time. Q: Can I get this on CD?
A: No. The amount of info contained on one DVD would take 6 or 7 CD's to hold, increasing the cost to produce drastically. Q: Can I get this on VCR video-tape?
A: No. We don't own any VCR video production equipment. Fortunately, DVD players are now available for under $50 at most discount stores.
Here's what's on the 2nd disk... Computer Skills For Embroidery
- Volume 1 VIDEO CD PLAYS ON COMPUTER! Many people have started into the machine embroidery hobby with "zero" or "very little" previous computer experience. While there are other tutorials on the market to teach computer skills, they are not geared toward the embroiderer. This video is! I started out to do this video over a year ago and kept running into one big problem... as soon as you make a video about computers, you realize that you forgot something! The solution finally dawned on me -- you make an ongoing series of videos. Cover as much as you can in each video and then pick up where you left off in the next one. Another challenge is that everyone is at a different point. Making a video that just covers "basics" won't be of a lot of use to the more advanced users. Making one for advanced users won't be of much use to the beginners. So each of our videos will cover something for everyone to use NOW and in the future. If you're a biginner - we cover BASICS. If you need help with embroidery software - we show that. If you have "problems" right now - we have the HELP! If you want to know more about using the web - we have the web articles. If you need to buy on the cheap - we have the BUDGET SAVER ideas. And if you're starting an online business - we have articles for you too. Something for everyone. The CS4E series has been created like a video-magazine. You can browse through sections at your leisure or as you need-to-know. Here's what's in this first issue... CS4E - Volume 1 Topics...
BASICS-1: Folders and Files on your computer
BASICS-2: Clean Up That Messy Start Menu
BASICS-3: Unlimited Storage Space for 15-cents per gb
