Note: Be sure to see the offer at the bottom of the post!

There have been some challenges with the 64 bit Vista drivers for  4D Embroidery.  I understand from students an error message continues although the driver is installed.  While doing some research I came across information on the Viking site addressing the error.

The software is unable to consistently detect the installation of the 64 bit driver and therefore sends the error.

If you see the error but have the drivers installed and operational, Viking recommends ignoring the message.

The screen shot below is captured from the Husqvarna Viking Software Registration site.  To get to the Registration site, launch 4D Configure and click on Smart Update.  The Smart Update will gather software information from your computer to interface with the Viking web site (isn’t that smart?).

Scroll down the page to see items to review and consider for installation.  Close to the bottom is the section on Device Drivers.  Within the section is the information on the 64 bit drivers.

Next week I’ll continue to explore resolving issues with the software. If you have a problem or question send it to me at Lin@LinSews.com.  If you send a problem or a question, your name will go into a drawing for the printed Sept. BOM instructions published last year. Here is a picture:

I’m looking forward to hearing from you and addressing your challenges over the next few week.

Sew soon.

The 23rd Annual Husqvarna Viking International Dealer Convention is underway!

The new software is 4D ExpressMonogram Wizard.  I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet.  It does have 10 new Classic Monogram fonts and a new Three-Color Trelis font.  The current software fonts can be used as well. The software comes as an add on or as a standalone.  It looks like a lot of fun!

There is a new hoop.  It’s the Texture Hoop that is 150mm x 150mm.  It has special marking and clips with it for creating some fun new designs. And there are some fun new designs!  I don’t have a picture of the hoop. But I do have some pictures of some of the new design collections …

Hand look Needlework

Thread Velvet and Yarn

Majestic Cutwork – This is WAY cool!

Simon’s Terrific Trims – These are wonderful.  My mind is churning with new ideas.

Some other new items  are the Flat Felled Foot 9mm, Interchangeable Dual Feed foot, more collections from Martha Stewart, Singer Designs and Inspira Designs.

It’s getting a bit late and I need to be up and at it bright and early.  I’ll try and post more tomorrow.
