FTCU Update to Version 3126
Begins at 4:30 of the video. Duration 26 minutes.
Trevor talks about the fact there is a new version of the software that was recently released and shows how you can learn what version you currently have and where to download the latest version. Be sure to look on the My Floriani Today page to find videos that show what is new in the latest version.
Puffy Foam – What you need to know and how to use it.
Begins at 30:30 of the video. Duration 26 minutes.
One of the cool new additions to FTCU in the latest version update is the inclusion of some new text fonts that are designed to work with puffy foam topping. Using the foam topping creates a 3D raised look to the embroidery. There are special stitches included in the PF text fonts that help cut out the foam on the ends of the letters. Trevor gives some tips for using puffy foam topping so you will be able to choose designs that are suitable and get great results. In some cases you may need to make edits to a design to improve the results such as adding extra (almost double) density or adding special capping or planking underlay stitches. Trevor shares the Flower and Tree designs as examples of designs that are well suited for sewing on Puffy Foam because they have tapered ends and so no capping stitches are needed.
