Bernina Toolbox Embroidery Software
Emelia Lute
As for the size of the label, you have choices. You can go large to measure up to the scale of your project. In this exercise, I opted for a finished label that fits in my BERNINA Medium Hoop as it will fit on a lot of projects, big and small.
One more note: This project takes advantage of the BERNINA Cloud design library. In order to obtain the design from the library your computer will need to be connected to the internet.
Note: Toolbox will warn you that scaling beyond a 20% guideline may yield inferior embroidery quality. Go ahead and click on OK. While this is good advice in general, in this particular case it is ok (we are downsizing 27%). This design is simple enough that it will do fine as rescaled.
Note: It may appear that there are only 8 objects to select (4 gray and 4 brown curlicues). In actuality, the brown curlicue that runs under the gray one on each side is composed of 2 parts. Overlaps were optimized by segmenting the one that runs under)
The lettering will be made in 3 lines using a small alphabet. In the end, I settled on the Micro Times alphabet, one of the smallest lettering choices in Toolbox, with a minimum recommended size of 9mm.
Also at this stage, I realize I will have to rotate the design before long in order to properly space my lines of lettering and to make sure the whole design fits in the actual width of the hoop at the end.
Select the left side of the frame (which is still grouped): Use the Select Tool > Select Object and drag it until it is just inside the left edge of the stitching field (using the template as your guide).
Drag it to the center of the hoop.
TIP: the sizing handles that are visible once an object is selected make it easy to spot when you have reached the hoop center as they will align with the X and Y cross-hairs of the template.
My embroidery using toolbox is leaving stray stitches on curved alphabet letters. Using Bernina stick to save, using special gold needle ballpoint top, using stablizer on linen for label. Not sure why satin stitching is not completely smooth leaving three to five stray stitches. Also, we need smaller lettering for quilt labels, thanks for any help.
This B70 is an embroidery-only machine. This means that you can only embroidery on it and you will still have to use your regular machine. This machine has a 5-inch color touch screen. On this centered screen you can design your embroidery motif. There are also multi-functional knobs to help you position your design. A couple of key features are:
The last feature of the BERNINA toolbox is a software program. This is used through your tablet or laptop. In this program you can create and customize your own designs. In it are 300 extra embroidery designs and 100 more fonts.
This is a great selection of items. You may even buy extra accessories. One accessory that is worth it is the Bernina DesignWorks CutWork tool and CutWork needles. This unique accessory will allow you to cut out any embroidery design and give your creations even more originality.
The B70 really is a fantastic machine. It stands out compared to other embroidery machines such as Janome and Brother. The Bernette B70 has more than double the amount of embroidery designs in some cases. Also, while the Brother does match the number of designs, the embroidery area is much larger on the Bernette and better equipped for editing the motifs.
The Bernette B70 is a little technical with the programs, however it is still easy to use. Imagine the endless possibilities to create unique embroideries and even cutouts. Being able to use your tablet or laptop to access more designs is a huge selling point.
