57608A cautionary tale for those of us who don't do practice stitchouts! The end result is wonderful!
I know what knockdown stitches are, but never saw them used where I can actually see the stitches. Now, I don't know how to do thelm. It looks like they are just stitches sewn on a sewing machine. Or, are the knockdown stitches an actually embroidery design?

Thank you!
I did a practice stitch-out. LOL I asked my boys if it looked OK. They said yes. I asked later why they didn't tell me it was misspelled -- I asked if it LOOKED OK not if it was spelled correctly. LOL I do love my boys! Spelling is not my strong suit.
Knockdown stitches are done with the embroidery machine as if it were the first color in a design to sew. It is a special feature in embroidery software.

If you look closely at the picture (spelled Magnus) you will see white stitching under the lettering. The knockdown stitches make a flat space to place embroidery.

Thank you. The true spelling is Magnus. Even my spell checker thinks it is wrong. lol The boys joke about us using the other stocking for our dog, Gus. I'm sure they will laugh about the fruit bit.

Just click on my user name and then Projects. I do have a few... I thought for the first 3 or 4 years that only Cute designs could be shown or you had to have special membership here to post -- so I didn't post for the first few years.
