We had a few rough patches... such as me being an idiot and threading the machine incorrectly, which resulted in 3 shattered needles! After a friend graciously stopped by to get us on track, though, things started going much more smoothly!
These are in progression from 1st to last. Hopefully you will see a noticeable improvement in the succession!
While this one is my favorite design and adorable... it definitely has some flaws. The letters are a little messy, and the stitching isn't perfect. Still very cute and useable, just not up to professional par yet!
This one is a gift for Eric's cousin, and I thought it turned out perfect! Simple, yet fun! I was very pleased with it!
This one is Allie's easter egg bib! I lOVE how easy applique is!
And, this one made the day all worth it! Definitely up to professional grade if I say so myself! I am IN LOVE with this design!
What do you think? Keep in my I've never touched a sewing machine in my life, so with that in mind, I'm pretty pleased with myself!
super cute!!!! when you are ready i have a couple shirts i would like done:)
ReplyDeleteGood job! Give me the details on your machine. The brand, etc. Por favor. I have one that looks a ton bigger than yours and can't do all those things....
ReplyDeleteOh, Laurin, this one is super small... but looks like it really can do a lot! It's a brother sewing and embroidery machine that we bought off of hsn.com for %499, b/c someone I know has it and really likes it. It has a usb port, so I just plug it in directly to my computer and am good to go. That part is really the only main difference between this one and some other embroidery/sewing machines. It also has a touch screen panel, where you can adjust/move/resize, etc. whatever designs you've done on your computer...
ReplyDeleteI just tried to find the link for mine, but it looks like it's sold out right now.
and, julie.... I'd feel comfortable taking orders for burps/bibs/etc., since if I messed it up, I could just start over... but I want to practice a bit more before doing something on your clothes.
ReplyDeletek, just let me know. i have some white shirts for my kids that i just want their names put on them in light pink. nothing fancy just target shirts. i was going to have mrs luce do them, but if you can that would be easier!
ReplyDeleteRachel, I think I need to sell mine and get one like yours! Mine is an older model and doesn't have the usb port, meaning that I have to spend a ton more money if I want to get more fonts and do more appliquéing. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteI bet you'd be able to sell it on craigslist or ebay, easily! The only limitation with this one, is the largest area it can applique/embroider is 4X4, but the machines that do 5X7 are significantly more expensive.
