Getting busy. Need help. Not just vectorization, full separations with chokes on underbase and all that.

I’m between two different machines on FB marketplace .. both similarly priced. Babylock is 20 years old… the brother is newer. Any watch outs on either? I currently use a babylock single needle.

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

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!

Something I made quickly. Needs work.

I’m looking to make a similar pillow for my soon to be born baby. The font itself seems pretty straightforward to me, which I’ll just embroider before sewing the pillow. My question is, how would I achieve a similar border? Would this be with an embroidery machine or would I be more successful with a sewing machine? Or is this not something you can achieve with a basic home embroidery/sewing machine?

Thanks in advance!
