Teatowel.



I hate wasting all those test stitchings, so I tried these out on a teatowel. These designs are for a 5x7 hoop. I found the 4x4 too small - the details don't have clean lines, but get sharp corners - but 5x7 is a bit too large. So I think I'll settles for something in between.

These are some of the cutest "angels I have seen. Would love to have them for my great granddaughter's quilt. Very sweet along with the other one. Lovely work.

I digitized these same designs a few days ago. Your are so much clearer than mine. I just love the way yours looks. I think I might pull them off my etsy site and try again...

My 4x4s were a bit less clear too, that's why I used the larger size. Have you used 5D (or 6D)? Double run or 4 double? I used 5D Stitch Creator first, with double run and stitch length 2.5, but was not too impressed with the result.
Then I used Embird, single stitch plus a backward path (which is comparable to 5D's double run) and stitch length 2.3, and even in the software I could see things I did not like in the 4x4 size. Hence the larger one. After stitching this teatowel I resized the one on the left till the heads were equal size - that stitches out well. Once I had my settings right I had a ball making the complete set.

I use 6d extra. I want to purchase the 6d creator, but funds are not available for that as of yet. You do fantastic work!

6D Extra has some advantages over 5D Extra, but it still is auto-digitising and not many ways to correct it. Clean, sharp clipart can give nice results but small details and curly bits pose a problem. Stitch Editor (if one has it) can help to fine-tune the designs, but that is a lot of work.

I've got a 6'4" fairy doing mine, but I have to clear up the stove and the counter tops afterwards :) And he ask if he was supposed to use that teatowel.

Very cute stick angels, good to know about the 4x4 being to small. ~Hugs~

Well, that's my opinion. Other digitisers may make different choices. You can for instance reduce the stitch length, but I don't want that very short as the shine of the embroidery thread gets lost.

hardest part of a good desig is finding the right size or proportion
