I've just noticed that this post is dated August 2012.
Wow, you have done a great job, love it. It seems that your hoop is the same size as my largest hoop, 200by360mm (8x14" approx.).

Wow! You are very adventurous to attempt a design of that many stitches and color changes. I agree, Emblibrary has some excellent digitizers. Yours is absolutely perfect. And, here I am thinking, 64,000 stitches and up are beyond what I want to ever stitch.

Gorgeous - and you can see how much work and time you spent on it. Please send it in to EmbLib and they will probably feature it in their projects on-line,

Beautiful. What material is it embroidered on, and what kind and how much stabilizer? It stitched out so nicely for the high stitch count.

I used a broadcloth material and I used one piece of a tear away stabilizer. Not one thread breakage or thread jam in throat plate. It was long but a pleasure to do.

sewdeb by sewdeb 04 Aug 2012

Wow, that's incredible! Shows how well the design was digitized!

jofrog2000 by jofrog2000 05 Aug 2012

Wow what labor of love for your pastor. Always afraid of designs with so high stitch counts and color changes. Looks great!
