Origins_Embroidery is a support/help group for those who have purchased the Origins Software and are still using it. The main purpose of this list is to learn Origins from each other by reporting our experiences, asking questions and trying the suggestions made. This list is not affiliated with the manufacturer, distributors, or dealers of Origins.

We can be proud that, together, we have built a well-stocked files area, which includes beginner step-by-step lessons, tips and reports from members about experiences and lots of other goodies. The message archive is especially valuable for reviewing those questions and answers that didn’t get formalized into lessons and reports. (The keyword search is a powerful way to navigate through the messages.)

We have older monthly group projects for the purpose of learning the software and how to digitize using it. Be sure to check the "PROJECTS" folder for the current and past graphics and results. All project graphics have been pre-approved for copyright issues and are available to you for your private use. However, copyright rules apply here, too, in that distribution of any file (message, graphic, document or design) available in the files area is a violation.

Members are expected to be respectful of each other. NO FLAMING, in other words, either on the list itself or through private responses to posts appearing on the list.

Please see "Mission Statement" file in our group's Administrative folder in the files area for a complete version of our Mission Statement which contains information on our group's advertising policy and other group policies.
