I love embroidery, but I am not very good at hand embroidery. My oldest daughter, Julie does beautiful work, but she didn't get that talent from me. So since I got my embroidery/sewing machine, I'm trying the new easier way. When I saw the Anita Goodesign design pack with these sweet old fashioned looking patterns, I had to do them. They really look like I spent hours embroidering them, don't you think?!
And I love the rick rack. I used the jumbo size and I did take the extra time to sew around both sides of the rick rack. One of my pet peeves is seeing rick rack that has the tops of the curves falling down after washing!
So now that that project is done, what shall I do next? All I need to do, is go in my sewing room and look at some of my "pigs". : )

Very nice looking! What brand of towels did you use?
ReplyDeleteThey are Dunrover House towels, 19 1/2" x 24". Pretty good towels, not "gauzy" at all.

ReplyDeleteThese look great Mom! Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteJust as good as hand embroidered and so much faster! :)
How easy was this? I have the same designs and haven't tried it yet. Just now getting into emb. I just upgraded my software to v.6. I've had every v. but haven't taken the time to learn how to use it. I like emb. Can't imagine why I'm not getting w/it. Anyway, spur me on. Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary, it is easy, just do it! I just have ArtLink which came with my machine. If you have any problems contact your dealer, I'm sure they'll help with any questions you may have! Just try it!! Good Luck.
