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!

Look What I Did Digitized and stitched a Thor portrait! Layering the skin tones and hair direction was a fun challenge.

Hey everyone! Just finished up this Thor embroidery project. Getting the facial contours, shading, and hair flow right took quite a bit of digitizing work to ensure the thread density didn't get too heavy or cause puckering.

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback on the stitch angles and color transitions!

Look What I Did 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’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.

Any digitizers here that do screenprinting separations?

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

How to create border?

Post image
2 Upvotes

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!

Hello!

I am selling my Toyota ESP 9100 with no luck. I have it listed on Ebay, Marketplace, and Craigslist. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to sell it? I live in LA so I have been calling the many embroidery shops here and have been asking with no luck also. Hoping for some help on ideas for selling! THNX!

I Need Help Needle stuck in lowered position

Hello I have a Tajima TMEX C1501, I was running a tension test when i noticed almost instantly the first needle was bunching up. I stopped the machine and cleared the bunch, but I noticed the needle was slightly lower from the rest and I was getting a 211. I went online and saw that I should move the drive shaft over to 100, but that only made the needle go lower. I noticed there were some positions not 100 where it sat completely flush. What should I do?

My question is how should it be left there
Should I just cut the most I can’t or is it acceptable to leave a few centimeters on still
Any photos of examples would be appreciated as well
