Stash Hub Help

Hello I hope you don’t mind but I’ve some machine embroidery people. I’m thinking of magic inputting my embroidery files into stash hub and before I start I’d really like some best practice advice please

  1. Do you use stash hub for your embroidery files?
  2. Do you use tags for the hoop sizes, and type (eg ith or fsl?)
  3. Do you tag your sewing patterns and embroidery files differently? I mean have you tagged all your sewing patterns as sewing patterns and embroidery files as such so you can filter?

I tag them by using “other” in the type section…pdf, tutorial, paper, etc.

I have not entered all my files, just in the hoop stuff and anything specific that I am going to use as a garment embellishment.

I first tried to use the notions to organize them, but it didn’t quite work.

Yes I thought about notions but I agree it would not work well. I might add an embroidery tag in case I have other “other” as well.

I’ve quite a few packs with more than 8 files. I can’t decide if I should enter the pack or for each file separately. Or a mix of both. I like being able to cross reference eg Christmas and ith and ornaments.

First up let me say I’m a Stash Hub convert!! Having said that, for the embroidery files themselves I use Buzz Explore - purpose built for embroidery files and you can see a thumbnail and organise into a file structure. Before that I found a file structure download (years ago).
For the supplies - stabilisers, hoops, thread etc - I’d use Stash Hub (if I really wanted to track it).
