They are absolutly exquisite! I also just read your instructions for hooping and will float the fabric on the stabilizer from now on. I only got a tiny bit of pucker by hooping the fabric witht he stabilizer, but completely pucker-less is better! I will be returning to your site to purchase more of your beautiful embroideries. I was sad to hear that you lost all your samples. Your booth was the most impressive of all the booths in the embroidery design category.

At the moment, I have several classes already scheduled privately with dealers for their customers only. If you have a local dealer who may be interested in finding out more, please give them my email addy. Michael, thank you for your comment. I'm not sure why your machine would have tension problems. I own an SWF and love it! As far as puckering is concerned, hooping the material with stabilizer will cause it, no matter how gentle you try to be. For that reason, I only hoop the stabilizer and then pin the fabric to the stabilizer. For tension, you can simply adjust the dials of the needles. Another tension problem with commercial machines is not using the same weight thread in all needles. That will definitely make a difference. Worst case scenario, have the hook timer checked. Don of http://www.terradonembroidery.com is a wonderful and knowledgable person on home and commercial machines. If you keep on having tension problems, send Don an email.

How creative you are. I'm looking forward to reading the previous post carefully. I've only owned Tajima machines, but tension is always a big concern and puckering is something I work very hard to avoid. Cheers! Michael Savoia Hello Sadia,

Jo Ann, the quilt blocks are 8" square. The blocks are a mixture of two designs, the butterfly and a corner embroidery quilt block which makes them that large. Marj, good to see you and I hope your sewing studio is being made ready for when you retire! Carol, there was a problem with the initial download but it has been fixed. Lucinda, so good to see you again and thankyou so much for your comment. Hugs, Sadia Thank you friends for your comments. Jo Ann, the quilt blocks are 8″ square.

I had been thinking about you over this past week, and there you are with another of your beautiful design sets. I do like the butterflies! Lovely! Have seen nothing like them, so they are a must-have. Am on the downhill slide of retirement, so the sewing and embroidering is about to begin! Best to you! Hi, Sadia!
