Well, here they are. I've sent 3 pictures. One is of the design on a shirt; another is a closeup of the design itself and the 3rd is of the corner of the design. What I did was use designs from Sew Teri-fic. I used the USA outline from her freebies. I cut the stars out of her Scruffy 4th design and used the Customizer for the lettering. For the border, I just put both the red and blue thread through the needle together. I used my D1 for the embroidery and my 1+ for the border. Love them two machines!

Over all, I used Customizing, CD Editor and Stitch Editor Pro. I learned so much from doing this design and using all these programs. I eliminated color stops with Stitch Ed.; cut the stars with the CD Editor and of course a LOT of time in the Customizer. I used Customizing for the lettering , changing colors and setting up the design. I was trying to get the design to sew out in a particular order and remember hearing somewhere that parts of a design sew out in the order that you bring them into Customizing. After 3 tries, I was finally satisfied.

I basically did the sew out so that I could "stick" it to a shirt so that it could be removed. I may use those little Velcro circles to attach it and then make up other designs to attach to the shirt at appropriate times of the year. That way you aren't stuck with a bunch of shirts that you can only wear one time of the year. Hey, that sounds like a good idea! Sell shirts or sweatshirts with interchangeable embroideries! I'm not sure if I should have you keep that little gem to yourself; could open up a whole new market! At this point in my business, I could use ANY market! VBG! Anyway, thanks loads for doing this; really gets one thinking!

Take care, Linda Rickerson
