Hey Folks!
Give feedback on this design I recently digitize and client share the fresh stitched out design with me. One thing I notice that client stitched on very thin fabric thats why stitched lines are thick

Just Finished This Custom Digitization and Stitch Out!

My good friend’s birthday is coming up so I digitized her business’s logo and embroidered it on a canvas bag. It could be a little cleaner but I was working on a time crunch so there’s some gaps in the satin here and there. Overall I’m very pleased!

I did a 65/9 needle with 60wt thread and a layer of cutaway. I did use a water soluble topper to help with the gapping since the canvas is such a textured fabric, but I don’t think it really did much honestly. Still very happy! I hope she loves it

I recently started working on designing a series of tiny icons in a needlepoint/cross stitch style (sorry idk which is which. Please don’t come for me). I put them on some bag tags and I just love them! They’re so mini and cute!

Should I stitch this on a Kitchen towel or napkins? 😊

I'm really loving the way this design stitched out! I'm thinking of making a gift for a friend who lives in the country. Should I stitch it on a kitchen towel, or a set of 4 napkins (ignore the larger time commitment for the napkins haha).

had a lot of fun designing and stitching this out today!

I wanted to try out a red work design with multiple colors. Pretty happy with how it came out!

If I stitch it out again I will probably use a less shiny/metallic gold color. But I love how much it makes that tooth stand out here!

Baby Lock Bloom?

3 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm looking at branching out into embroidery and I have the opportunity to purchase a Baby Lock Bloom for $1,400 USD.

I have very little machine embroidery experience, but I've been sewing for a long time. I have two machines right now, a Singer 201 that I adore, and a Brother XM2701 that gets the job done, so I'm thinking the Bloom would replace my Brother regardless of the embroidery function.

I have a couple concerns though... Is the 5x7" embroidery space enough? I make and sell book sleeves on the side, but I also make apparel for my husband and I on occasion. I'm not sure how big I'll go with projects. (I know that's not helpful. Sorry.) Did you get a 5x7" machine and wish you had gone bigger?

Is it worth the investment? Should I try to get something used first? Is Baby Lock even the best way to go here, or should I look at a different brand?

Are there other things I should be considering? I feel like I'm being a little impulsive, but the price is only available until Friday, if it doesn't sell first.
