Ok, like I said I have had an assortment of FSL designs for a couple years, but had not tried... Well while re-constructing my Daughters screens for her house, I thought that would be the perfect project to have stitching....mostly white so would not have to mess with color changes until the end....So I loaded a design, loaded the small hoop (start with one, just in case), loaded the machine & thread....hit start and started re-screening....I got 2 screens done before it hit a color change. Then I change bobbins to match the top thread color for the rest. I finished and could not wait to drown my little angel and see the magic; turned out perfect! So I went back to the sewing room, past the screening on the floor, grabbed my 8x8 hoop load 4 into it and hit start again. I finished the screens just before I had to start all the color changes. I went to bed at 1:15 this morning a happy gal and totally hooked on FSL I can't wait to do more. Thanks to you all for inspiring me and making me want to try!

I got these from Oregan Patchworks look by designer open Enigma Embroidery and it will be in there. I had seen them here on the projects and went right to the site and got them. This is what inspired me to try FSL.

I actually bought some pearl white, it was really pricy $14 for 1100 yards at the sewing shop...I think they would look really pretty too. I'll have to try.

There are 10 in this group, next I want to apply a little sparkle to them. I plan on giving each of my kids a set at Thanksgiving, so 5 sets if I make one for me.
