Dying to add machine embroidery to your quilt projects? Here are some great tips!
Hello! I designed (and digitized) all of the machine embroidery designs offered here (along with all the Sewing Whimsies and the sewing patterns & projects). I got into digitizing embroidery so that I could embellish my projects. The digitizing is somewhat addictive, I confess. Evidently, I have a knack for it. So anyway, I do hope you enjoy the designs. Please check back often as I have a lot of new projects and embroidery designs in the works! So many ideas, so little time.... They just keep coming to me when I least expect it.
I am really excited about my process that I have devised to work with templates! Please take a look at the "Embroidery Tips" information above to read more about it. I include additional tips for successful embroidering with many of my downloads and CDs. If you like this way to work with templates, you can easily make your own templates for other embroidery designs in your embroidery library. A bonus of working with this template placement method is that it makes combining designs together to make large advanced embroidery designs easy!
Each digitized embroidery design is set up so that you can also use the more traditional method of marking the center of the design for placements if you prefer to work with the other method. The first and last digitized stitches are in the center of each design. All downloaded instructions are in pdf format. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open them.
