I've been taking monthly lessons for the software at the local quilt shop where I purchased the machine and the software for the last 18 months. I'm progressing with my learning. For example, I know that I need to apply the lesson in some way or I can't remember how I did it! I also know that repetition is key as the more I successfully practice, the more confident I become. I also appreciate clearly written description about the process. What doesn't work for me is to purchase an embroidery CD to stitch out the designs. Large general classes don't work well for my style of learning either.
Last November, I stitched this design from the software. I practiced centering the design in the space that I desired on this red corduroy. This part became a bib on a jumper.
I used a new ruler to make rick rack trim for the skirt. It wasn't hard; but, it was time consuming!This was how it looked when I finished it.
This was how it looked on the grand daughter that I made it for!

Very nice! The Rick rack is very interesting. Was it extremely time consuming?
Thanks, BJ. She is a cutie!
I thought that I'd use that rick rack technique has a quilt binding. . .I don't know if it will move past the thought process!!! :)
Yes!!!!! it was time consuming. Don't know if I will do it again. I had planned to use that technique as a binding on a kid quilt.
Cute, cute, cute! The jumper is cute too!
That little one is a sweetie. . .always on the move. See it took two adults to try the jumper on her!!! Thank you for your comment!
