Boring

[Bill C @ Fineline]

Just what is Boring? What do you use it for and how do you use it? I se it mentioned in the book, but never knew what it was. Is there some where I can get info on it? Thanks, Bill
I would like to add that all the info I find here has been very helpfull.

I just sent a note to this board today asking a similar question. The subject of my note is "Boring needle for the Amaya".

I'm hoping that Ed sees this note and can give me some info.

Are you talking about wing needles -- that's what I use on my home machine for heirloom stitching. I've never seen them for the Amaya.

I hate using "wing needles".
The feathers get all over the place.

Bill,
To answer your question: This is from an ad.

Punch Pins (boring needles) let you use your standard embroidery machines to produce all shapes of cutout designs combined with your embroidered patterns. No need for special offset boring attachments which are not only awkward, but very expensive, too.
The Punch Pin is normally installed in the first or last needle bar (so you can remember where
it is). An outline is sewn around the area to be punched out to stabilize the material and
backing. Program the Punch Pin to fill in the outlined area. The designated area is then
punched out, followed by the sewing of the rest of the embroidery pattern. You can even
make eyelets in finished hats.
Specially shaped, sharpened, and hardened points allow for accurate, clean cuts repeatedly.

Hope this helps,

Maggie and Bill,
I'll tell you what "Boring" is....
Reading all of Ed's posts is "Boring".

But seriously,
Here is a link to where I got the information previously listed.
Scroll down to page 8.

Here's another article with an excellent photo of a boring needle in place of a regular needle.
