I didn't use any software. I bought the design from Letzrock, an Australian digitiser, downloaded it, put the design on the card that goes into my Brother Innovis 4000, and embroidered it. I didn't digitise it myself.

Maybe your design kept stitching over and over in the same place because you were stitching on a towel. I only stitch these designs on plain fabric, and then put it in a frame, so if it turns out stiff, it doesn't matter. I did a cross stitch picture not long ago, that I bought from Advanced Embroidery, it was called Girl with a Pearl Ear Ring from the painting by Vermeer. It had literally thousands of stitches, and took me seven hours to stitch, but I put it in a frame with a mount, and every time I look at it, I can't believe that I actually machine stitched it.
1269Well done. Have any memory of how many stitches this design has and the time it took you to stitch it out?

I'm afraid I can't help you there. It was five years ago, and my PC crashed and I lost the design along with hundreds of others. It probably was a lot of stitches, and maybe took some time, but I have all the time in the world, and I was doing it for myself, so time didn't matter. I bought the design from Letz Rock, in Australia, so if you go to the site, you might get to see how many stitches were in it.
