Project Advisor

The Project Advisor is a patented expert system, a form of artificial intelligence, which helps you select stabilizer, needles and hooping techniques for many common projects.

The system also provides instructions, helpful how-to advice and some words of caution when necessary. First, you select a project from the list. If your exact project or fabric is not listed, there are enough choices available where you can choose something very similar. Next, you can tell the Advisor if your fabric has more or less stretch, and you can adjust thickness. The Advisor takes your input in account as it makes its recommendations, which are displayed as text in the window.

DRK users will also have the Project system, which extends the Project Advisor settings to actually adjust your designs’ stitches for the chosen project.

Both the backing (under the fabric) and topping (on top of the fabric) stabilizers are recommended.
