Decided to try my hand at embroidering a clock face. Here it is. An Alabama for my son n law. Purchased clock at Walmart, took it apart, taking face off, embroidered a new face installed it using dbl faced tape then reassembled clock. this would work on any style clock with any design n middle after embroidering the basic face & numerals then reassembling clock. The face & numerals come out of the Embird SW but u can find clock faces most anywhere I have DL several free ones.

He will roslyn I stay indebted to him anyway, since my DH is unable to do anything anymore, this SIL does much much more than his share of the work around here plus his cp knowledge has gotten me through many a crisis. *4U

I was always afraid to make one, the way you present it, it sound time consuming but easy, thanks for showing it*

What a wonderful idea...May I ask if you embroidered the clock face first before buying the actual clock..Just curious to know how you knew what size clock to buy? I am always inspired by other's projects I see posted and sometimes it gives me a boost to pull out some of those designs I have stashed but not yet stitched because I am not sure of making it all come together full circle..I am inspired now to try my clock faces! thanks! Awesome job!!! *

No I purchased the clock first, measured & then embroidered the face. Actually it came together very easy & quickly the hardest part was taking the clock apart but got DH to help me. Next time I'll be able to do it with no help.
