Here's my week 7 for the San Francisco Stitch Co Summer mystery Road Trip. Thanks for looking.

Yeah! I have to stitch this one!

This is great/Lillian

Very nice

Love seeing your designs stitched out great again. I havent tackeled mine as yet. Will wait until I have all of them.

I just love these designs and glad you Cuties steered me to this site. I haven't stitched a one out yet. Love seeing them stitched out--no puckers, as usual--one day a perfect stabilizing and fabric will work for me.

Looks good I don't have mine stitched out yet. Got to get busy.

Wow, it's fabulous. I like this Road Trip, and I think embroider this during winter.
Thank you for sharing
Hugs, Céline

Stunning!!!!

This is a fantastic stitchout! Your thread choices are just perfect. I too would like to know your secrets to getting such a flat design! I don't seem to be able to get designs to lays so crisply.

Thanks pennyhal2. Please look down at Nancy'sBT10.

Thank you for posting week 7. What type of material and stabilizer did you use. There is not a pucker in sight! Very, very professional. Looking forward to your post for week 8 and then, your overall project. Have you decided what to do, or is it a mystery?

Thanks, I always use 2 layers of cut-away .This one I hooped a layer of sticky vilene and laid the cut-away underneath. My fabric in this stitch out is Moda Grunge. It comes in a lot of colors.
It had a dry brush effect on it. Like a shabby chic.

So, you only hooped the layer of sticky vilene (not familiar with this but will search for it today)? The fabric was not hooped? I like the Moda Grunge fabric too!

Not on this one. I first stretched the layer of sticky vilene or sticky WSS may be called Sew n wash around my inner hoop. It should be drum tight. I'll search for a link so you can see it and p.m. you. Then I placed my ironed and starched fabric on top. After placing that on my machine I slide 2 layers of cutaway underneath the hoop. Some times I just use a little 505 on the cutaway and just lay the fabric on top...I have strength issues so I try different ways til it works.

Love it hugs
