Embroidery Module

Spent a lot of time today working with the embroidery module.

After spending the first hour or so of the day learning how to create lettering I transferred the designs to the machine and stitched them out.

After spending much of the day pressing the restart button (really, every 2 minutes or less) I switched off the thread sensor and life was much easier.

My sketch of the Venus of W stitched really well.  I digitized this a few days ago and have completely forgotten how to do it!

Adding circular lettering and a few prehistoric animals and an Indian sun completed the machine stitching.venus3

Despite the frustrations with the thread sensor I’m very happy with this result.  Now I’m adding some hand stitching and beads.
