Machine Embroidery Challenge -- part two

Last week, I shared a challenge that Lisa Archer from Pickle Pie Designs issued -- dust off my embroidery machine and USE IT!

I found her Modern Machine Embroidery book on my bookshelf and transferred the designs from the CD to my computer and then to a drive for my embroidery machine.


I opened it to the redwork section, and read it.  The book suggests stitching a redwork apple on a tea towel.  I don't have a fresh tea towel, but I do have quilting fabric.  I grabbed whatever tear-away stabilizer I had on hand, hooped my fabric and stabilizer, and stitched an apple (or two) on some quilting fabric.*



I tore away the stabilizer:



Now I'm dreaming of what to do with them.

What would you do with two lonely little redwork apples?

*Re-reading that, it sounds like it was easy.  It was not.  Let me share the rest of the story:

I am continually trying to clean my sewing room.  When I installed my design wall, I packed up all of my thread in boxes.  I put all of my embroidery thread into a single container... AND LOST IT!  So, an hour later, I found the embroidery thread hiding in an AQS tote bag from 2010 on the bottom shelf of my book case.

You could put them on a postcard! They are really nice. You did good for your first try. I used mine the other day and it has been so long since I used it that it was like starting over!

Machine embroidery is the process of using an embroidery machine to create designs on fabric. It involves creating or selecting a design, transferring it to the machine, and then using the machine to stitch the design onto the fabric. Machine embroidery allows for precise and intricate designs to be created quickly and efficiently, and is commonly used in the fashion, home decor, and promotional products industries.

Absolutely! Creating your first Anime Embroidery Design can be super exciting! It's all about capturing those vibrant characters and details with stitches. I'd suggest starting with a simple yet iconic character to get the hang of it. Think bold outlines and using different stitches for textures. Dive in, have fun, and let your creativity flow with your Anime Embroidery Design!
