Hi Cuties, here are the next 2 tea towels for my girlfriends in Adelaide. I've done 2 Santa and 2 Christmas tree ones.
This design is from 3 Bells - it is called the Jacobean Christmas Tree - 5x7 hoop. Took over 2 hours to stitch out!!! So I had both machines going at the same time, that is why they have slightly different colours.
The design sews out perfectly. I slowed my machines down to 350spm for the Brother and just put my Husqvarna speed adjustment to halfway. I started off at full bore for both and broke 2 needles on the Husqvarna! Lesson learned! Love Chris
1. Towel on left done on Brother, one on right done on the Husqvarna. I used a darker purple on the right one and I prefer it obviously, because I'm a purple lover!

Thanks Maria, it was more of a necessity than convenience in this case as I was sewing right up to late on Wednesday evening. Love Chris

I believe you truly carry the spirit of Christmas with you all year. You bless all that you meet ... in spirit and with your lovely gifts that are made with the recipient in mind as you work on them.

What a lovely thing to say Mk - I try to spread love, kindness and respect to everyone I meet and pray that they in turn will do likewise. Love Chris
P.S. If I haven't welcomed you to cute, a big Aussie welcome from me. Chris, Newcastle, Australia.

Thanks Fatima, I think they did a great job too, even though the Brother still has some issues with the bobbin thread showing through. Love Chris

Oh then you should try what I had done Chris. ...hopefully that should fix it! Tighten up bobbin tension a bit....it made such a big difference to my machine....I was very happy with the fix!

Thanks for your support Kim - I wouldn't use these either, I'd hang them on my oven handles! Love Chris
