I've been quite busy making stoles and antependiums for a nearby church. I digitized the embroideries and stitched them out in gold metallic. Here's one of them. The stole is draped over a dummy dressed in one of my tablecloths. Size 11x 17 cm, 8050 stitches.

51302WOW! this is just awesome mops. I have done church items myself. I love your design. What type of needle do you use with metallic thread and what type of thread is in your bobbin? I am making stoles for my confirmation class.

I stitched these on a Melco EP4, which takes industial all-purpose needles. I used normal bobbin thread. I changed the needle 4 times for 16 embroideries, as the thread tended to shred much sooner than usual with 'normal' embroidery thread.

This one was really easy, it was the last one of 10 and by that time I had learned a lot about pathing, especially from the 'green' grapes, so there are no jumps in the 4 elements. You really shouls give digitising a try, it has nothing to do with talent once you've got a picture (or an idea of one) but everything with perseverance - and I was born that way according to my dad who just had a look at the full set.
