For this week i have chosen to do digital sewing using Janome Horizon MC15000 sewing machine.
I wanted to make a small pillow with my design on it, which will be a combination of Digital and manual sewing.
I made this quick design
First I choose the hoop i wanted to use which is Hoop14, and made sure that i am using the same one on the software and the machine
After that i opened the software and inserted my design
Then went to Auto digitize tab
Then press on click to fill
And then you can select which part of your design you want to be printed on material.
After that i selected the parts i needed
Then i wanted to delete the picture to get rid of the picture so the machine dosen't get confused with layers.
Here is the final look of my design
Then I clicked on link
After that i pressed send
Before Pressing start its important to check the threading setup on the machine, as to make sure the thread is in the needle, this can take several tries until the thread is in the needle.
and then Press Start on the Machine.

Here is the Result
After that it was all about sewing edges to make the Pillow, but i left one edge so that i can stuff the pillow with styrofoam balls.
