Print Command Short Tutorial

Hi ladies,  My headphones with built in microphone came today, so I did a short tutorial on the different options controlled in the Print Command of the Dear Jane Software.   I'm trying again to provide a direct link to You Tube, so lets see if this works.  The audio is definitely much better.  That's a relief! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C46ByM3A3fo  You should be able to click on the link and it will take you right to You Tube.  If you expand to full screen or Pop out once you are on YT the video is quite clear.  Let me know if you have any problems.

You Tube Link

Sorry Ladies, I can't get the paper piecing link to youtube to work so I took it out of the earlier post.  I'll keep working on that - in the meantime, your only option is to watch it right on our blog and I'm not sure you can make that big enough!  In the meantime, my headphones with microphone are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so I'll create another mini tutorial to see that that goes.

In the meantime, don't forget out BOM and TOM - Sweet Tater Pie and Australian Pines - B-2 and TR-2.  Have to confess I haven't started mine yet - am still trying to get caught up with my other BOW and TOW challenges (which I am 3 weeks behind on).  I think knitting socks is definitely cutting into my Jane time!

Paper Piecing Screen Shot Tutorial

Well, everyone, I've put a video tutorial on printing a paper pieced foundation block in Dear Jane Software up on You Tube.  You will probably need to listen to it with headphones, as my built in Microphone really isn't loud enough.  I've ordered a headset with a built in mic, so the next one should be better - at least I hope it will be.    I've posted it on our blog directly below this post.

On another note, I had a thought about doing a Dear Jane challenge within our group.  How do any of you feel about that possibility?  We can set the challenge rules ourselves and make it as simple or demanding as we want.  We'll talk about it at the next meeting.

Ladies, click on the little grey triangle in the middle of the screen shot to start the video.  I just discovered that if you click again on the tutorial once you start it, it will take you to YouTube and you can watch it full screen.

Month 2 June 2010

  Great Meeting last night everyone!  Here are the BOW and TOW pics.  I'm really impressed by all the blocks you've done.  We've got a great cross section of techniques and fabric pallets going.   Our BOW for our July meeting is B-2:  Sweet Tater Pie.  Our TOW is T-2:  Australian Pines.  Remember - if you've already done either of those, do a substitute of your choosing.  Next month's mini-workshop will be on Paper Piecing by machine.  I plan on doing I-7 Mac and Muff.  I'll come with a foundation for each of you so that you can work along with my demo.  Be sure to bring two fabrics of your choosing to work with and of course, your basic sewing supplies including your machine!  

I realized this morning that we never got into the print part of the software.  I'm hoping to put a "tip" section on our blog, and will try to get a short demo of the print options posted for you.  Since this whole blogging thing is new to me, I have to figure out how to do that first, so check back in a few days and see if I've been successful.

Feel free to post comments and suggestions for the group - remember, this is OUR club - so any ideas, suggestions are always welcome on the table.  And Marilyn, remind me to bring my triangle ruler next month, just in case you don't have yours yet!
