I wanted to make my sister and I a new sweatshirt to go on a trip in 4 days, sew I made hers with embroidery library's : RW State Flowers. I did each state we will be going through. Mine I did in Great Notions Chickadees collection 1 by Valerie Pfeiffer. I love this card and use it all the time. Thanks for looking Sandy

Oh my! I have wanted those Chickadee designs since I first saw them and now I think I will just have to get them. Yours are just beautiful...I have never seen them sewn out on anything and it looks like they have that pretty, detailed feathered look about them. Her designs look so nice but I was afraid that the high stitch count would be hard to sew out on clothing, you know that bullet proof thing! What stabilizer do you use? Hugs and blessings, Penny in TN.

I used the iron on, no show mesh and they sewed beautifully! and they do have that feathery look.

So, I'm guessing you opened the sleeve, sticky hooped it, stitched, and then closed seam on sewing machine?

well done they are both terrific! I have the chickadees too & also think they are great for so many things!~hugs & Have a wonderful vacation! Did you take it all apart to sew the designs on the sleeves or do you have a multi needle machine that has an arm thing built in? ~hugs~

I took the threads out of the sleeve to the cuff and almost to the arm hole, then sew the sleeve back together with a regular sewing machine. Mine has a stitch like a serger, so its the same as when I took it apart. Thanks for looking. I love chickadees.

These look very pretty.
