How do I unzip designs?

· Most of our embroidery fonts and alphabets are zipped twice. Each individual size is contained in it’s own zip file to allow of the characters to be bundled together. Then all of the individual sizes are put together in one master zip file to allow our users to have a single download to get each alphabet. Please visit the tutorial we’ve prepared to walk you through the process of unzipping your downloads: http://www.8clawsandapaw.com/how-to-successfully-unzip-your-embroidery-files.html.

Letter Soup? All letters open on top of one another?

· This problem is seen only in certain embroidery software. The problem appears to be related to the software’s inability to handle filenames with a ‘_’ in the name. You can resolve this problem by simply renaming the file and removing the ‘_’ from the file name.

Example: If the file is named: 8clawsandapaw_A.vip You can rename the file something such as: A.vip or 1inchA.vip

This change should be done to the file on your computer before transferring to your embroidery machine

· To rename a file, right click on the file you wish to rename and then left click “Rename” option towards the bottom of the menu. This will highlight the filename and allow you to type the new name. Hit ‘Enter’ to complete the renaming.

· Please note: if you are able to see the file’s extension (e.g .PES or .EXP, etc) take care to not delete the file extension.
This changing of file name must be done on your computer before the design is transfered to your embroidery machine.

No Sewing Data?

1.      The wrong format has been downloaded. (ie not a PES file) You will need to make sure you select the correct format when purchasing and/or changed the file format after purchase.

2.      The file is still zipped. You will need to unzip designs before attempting to open and transfer them with PED Basic.

3.      The file being opened has been corrupted in download. The fix to this is to download and unzip the designs and retry the open and transfer with PED Basic

4.      The design is too big for the hoop selected in PED Basic (ie. Design will only fit in a 5x7 hoop and a 4x4 hoop has been selected).

5.      The number of stitches in the design exceeds the maximum amount of stitches PED Basic can handle

What is a zip file?

· Zipping is a compression technology. Having your files compressed allows them to have a smaller file size. The smaller file size translates into a shorter download time. The drawback is the files have to decompressed before using. The compression technology / algorithm allows for seamless compression and decompression without loss of information. This is good. If compressing or decompressing caused information to be lost or corrupted it would not be useful.

· To use a compressed file after you have downloaded it, you will need to decompress it. There are several programs on the market that can be used for free or offer a free trial. Winzip: http://www.winzip.com (free trial but is considered by some to be the standard) or Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/ (both trial and free versions).

· These programs, and others, will allow you to unzip/decompress your embroidery designs and input them into your embroidery machine or editing software. Typically our alphabets and fonts are zipped twice. Please be sure the files you are attempting to put into your machine or editing software have been unzipped—as they may not recognize the file.

Wrong Format. Yikes! Help?

    1. I bought or downloaded the wrong format. Can you help? Sure we can, log in to your account, pull up your order / invoice from your Orders History.

Letter sizes are inconsistent with others or not the same?

1.      Our fonts are based upon the original artwork or font. All sizes are modeled after the source artwork and therefore each letter may be a different size or width in relation to another letter. For instance, a lower case e may not be the same height or width as the lowercase a. This is due to the variation and individuality the artist has intended for the font. You may try resizing the letter(s) but we do not recommend resizing of designs or letters, nor can we support issues arising from designs that have been resized.

How do I make words out of the fonts and alphabets?

    1. All of our fonts, alphabets and monograms come in individual letters. This allows you to combine the letters and form desired name, word or letter combinations. You must have one of two things:

i. Embroidery/Editing software that allows you to combine the letters into your desired combination OR

ii. An embroidery machine that allows you import multiple designs / letters into your machine at once in order to form the desired name, letter combination or monogram

Why are all of the fonts and alphabets in individual letters?

    1. All of our fonts, alphabets and monograms come in individual letters. This allows you to combine the letters and form desired name, word or letter combinations. It would be impossible for us to think of every name or letter combination. This approach allows infinite creativity.

How do I use your designs, fonts, alphabets and monograms with my software?

    1. There are many different embroidery programs on the market. It would be very difficult to offer solutions or advice for every program. Generally speaking, you will need the ability to import or open the actual unzipped design files into your software or embroidery machine (e.g. PES, PEC, HUS, VIP, etc and not the .ZIP files) in order to arrange them into the desired name or sequence. The best resource for instructions on your particular software would be the manufacturer’s website.

I try to import the designs into my machine or software but it doesn’t see anything?

    1. Typically this is because the designs are still in a compressed format (zipped). You will need to unzip the files to get to the actual embroidery designs before trying to open them directly into your embroidery machine or software
    2. It is also possible the designs have been zipped twice. The majority of our alphabets, fonts and monograms come in different sizes. As a measure to help keep the files organized in a straight forward method, each size is zipped so the alphabet is in one file. Then all the different sizes are zipped together into a single file. This will allow you to typically have one single download to obtain all files.
    3. It is possible that the when downloading the file(s) the download was interrupted or did not finish. This would cause the file to be corrupt or incomplete. You should download the file again

How do I unzip files?

    1. Zipping is a compression technology. Having your files compressed allows them to have a smaller file size. The smaller file size translates into a shorter download time. The drawback is the files have to decompressed before using. The compression technology / algorithm allows for seamless compression and decompression without loss of information. This is good. If compressing or decompressing caused information to be lost or corrupted it would not be useful.
    2. To use a compressed file after you have downloaded it, you will need to decompress it. There are several programs on the market that can be used for free or offer a free trial.

    3. These programs, and others, will allow you to unzip/decompress your embroidery designs and input them into your embroidery machine or editing software. Typically our alphabets and fonts are zipped twice. Please be sure the files you are attempting to put into your machine or editing software have been unzipped—as they may not recognize the file.

How do I use an appliqué design?

    1. You can find a tutorial on appliqués HERE

Trouble Shooting Problems with a Design Stitch Out

    1. Are you using the correct stabilizer for the fabric and stitch count of the design
    2. When was the last time you changed your needle?
    3. Needles should be changed every 8 hours of stitching
    4. Is your fabric actually hooped or are you floating it on top of your hoop using spray adhesive or sticky stabilizer?

i. We always recommend that you hoop your fabric to get the best results.

    1. Does your top thread or bobbin thread need to be adjusted?

i. Sometimes your thread tension can be off by just a small amount and that can lead to thread breaks, top thread looping, bobbin thread showing through on the top of your design.

Can you send my designs on a CD, card or by email?

  1. Sorry, we do not offer designs on embroidery cards, CDs or by sent by email. All products will have download links sent to the email address configured in your user profile.

Are your designs hand embroidery designs?

  1. No, 8 Claws and a Paw Embroidery designs, alphabets and fonts are machine embroidery designs that require an embroidery software and/or an embroidery machine to use.

My program/machine doesn’t recognize files

  1. Do you have the correct file format? Embroidery machines will typically only read one file format. (Some will read multiple formats). You should check your user manual or manufacturer to ensure you have the appropriate format. Should you need to change formats, you may do so here: Change Formats
  2. Ensure your software or embroidery machine hoop settings will accommodate the file size of the design you are attempting to open.
  3. Ensure your software or embroidery machine can read the number of stitches. Some machines and software have limitations to the number of stitches they can read. These limits vary by manufacturer. Refer to your manual and manufacture for any limits they may impose.

I bought a membership but prices are still showing!

  1. It is possible your membership has not been activated. All memberships are activated within 10 minutes of purchase. Give it a couple of minutes. Call your friends and tell them about the great membership deal you just got. By the time you get off the phone, you should be good to go.
  2. It is possible you are not logged in. The easiest way to check is to look at the right hand menu to see if there is a link that says ‘secure login’. If you see that, you are not logged in. Once you are logged in, you will see a message that says ‘ is logged in!’ on the same spot in the right menu.
  3. If it’s been more than 10 minutes, you are logged in, you purchased a membership and the prices for the embroidery fonts and alphabets still show, send us an email and we’ll get things squared away for you. This email should included the email or username used to purchase.

Can’t login. Help!

  1. Triple check the password you are using.
  2. Ensure your CAPS LOCK key is not on
  3. Usernames and Passwords are CaSe SeNsiTiVe. A username of jdoe is not the same as Jdoe.
  4. Signing up for our newsletter is not the same as creating a user profile. So signing up for one does not create an account for the other. Our newsletter only asks for your name and email address while a profile for our store requires additional information such as address.

Error message with Adobe.

  1. This error is perfectly normal. Adobe Acrobat is a document reader which reads word processing files in PDF (Portable Document Format). Adobe is not able to read embroidery files.

Unrecognized file format

  1. Your computer seems to be trying to open the embroidery designs with a program that does not understand embroidery files. The easiest way to ensure your files are opened with the appropriate software is to open your embroidery software and open your embroidery designs through its’ menu structure.

Tips and Hints

Hooping and using the proper stabilizer is probably the most important aspect of embroidery. Having the wrong foundation can easily have your project going straight to the scrap pile.

Here are some tips to stitching out great projects:

1. Make sure your hoop screw is tight

2. The fabric should be taught, but not stretched-if it is stretched while stitching, when you unhoop your project you will have puckers

3. Use the correct stabilizer for your material

Stabilizer

Recommended Use

Special Notes

Tear-Away

Light to medium weight woven fabrics

· Typically used on cottons, canvas, satin and corduroy

· If using a large design/ high stitch count, we recommended using two layers of tear-away to improve stabilization

· Carefully pull the fabric away from the stabilizer to ensure you do not pull on the stitching

Cutaway

Stretchy, unstable fabrics

· used for knits, fleece, stretch denim, velvet, towels

· use with large filled designs

· Trim excess from around the design when finished

Iron-On

Can use on any fabric – Works very well with lightweight fabrics

· Follow manufacturer’s instructions to iron on (usually printed on the back of the stabilizer)

Water-Soluble

Free Standing Lace Designs, topping on towels, fleece, corduroy, velvet

· use on top of fabric with knap to ensure fabric nap does not show through embroidery

· excess is removed by soaking in water

· For Free Standing Lace designs

Are you using the right needle?

*Please note that the larger the needle size the wider the needle
* Thicker fabrics need a larger sized needle for best results
* It is recommended that you change your needle after 8 hours of stitching

Stitching Troubles

  1. Looping
    1. Looping can be caused by a couple of different issues. The first being a barbed needle. The second being a presser foot with a barb or bur. Barbs or burs can cause the thread to snap on the needle or presser foot causing the loops on your project. A quick test is change the needle out to see if the problem is resolved.
  1. Shifting, gapping, mis-alignment: This can be caused by a number of different things.
    1. Designs that have been resized will often times result in gaps or misalignments
    2. Shifting and gapping commonly occur with an improper combination of fabric and stabilizer. Stabilizer must match the project design and fabric.
    3. Thread tension can also produce gaps and mis-alignments. Upper thread tension and bobbin tension need to be set at the correct settings for your machine, needle size and thread weight.
    4. Improper hooping or not hooping. A lot of people we advise you can embroidery without hooping your project. We always recommend hooping the project/fabric you will be embroidering on. Ensuring your project is taut in the hoop will reduce the amount and chance of fabric shift during stitching.
    5. Ensure there are no loose areas of fabric within the hoop. Sometimes the middle portion of the project will be taut but the edges may have some loose bunching.
