I couldn't get the image to transfer, so I had to freehand it.

And, while I'm posting pictures - I found this and loved it, but didn't want to spend $80 on it.

So I made this:

those look great! the embroidery turned out really nice! did you use a backstitch, or is it a stem stitch?

was it a transfer from sublimestitching? trying to troubleshoot why it woudlnt transfer

Sandi · 07-26-2007, 01:50 PM

backstitch - is it that bad?

Just teasin'

Oh - I tried to use the carbon paper and a stylus (?sp) to transfer the image because I haven't unpacked my iron yet and I'm not sure which bin it's in.

I think it was just too smooshy a fabric to get the image transfered onto properly with that method.

Look at you go!

looks great! What's next?

Sandi · 07-26-2007, 02:27 PM

Oh, who knows LOL
I really almost gave up and then thought I'd just finish it and move on. I'm glad I did or I wouldn't have come back to it. But, I see room for improvement and now I want to go and dig out my iron. I also bought a mark-b-gone pen in case I wanted to do go that route

Thanks for schoolin' me

yeah you have to put some wood or a book inside the shirt, also using the stabilizer helpes get the design on there (but then again you need an iron for the stabilizer), it can be a pitb on knits (one reason most people dont hand-embroider on knits and stick to wovens). i think you did really well!

oh and plmk if you dont want the carbon dressmakers transfer paper

Brave Sandi - and it turned out great!

I say brave because of all crafts emroidery intimidates me.

Sandi · 08-02-2007, 02:27 PM

I LOVE that ship!!

I have always been confused about it, but Daniel doesn't like pirate stuff.... oh well... I can admire it from afar

And graet goign with the sign

its amazing how much money you can save doing it yourself... but try not to fall into the "I saved $74 doing it myself so now I can buy $74 worth of craft supplies" trap

LOL... dont ask me how I know...
