This backpack is for a friend's little 4 y.o. who loves Batman. I bought this design from Embroidery designs.com My Brother machine has the license for them, but couldn't find one from them. I didn't charge her for the design. I did charge her for the name, and it is my first time using the PE-Design for the name. I'm moving on up. hehehe... (the PED is my daughters who left it here at the house. ) She was showing me how to work with it. :)

Believe it or not, I actually used a regular size 11 embroidery needle. But I must say this was a thin denier.

Reva, it took some time to center it, and patience to hoop it. hehehe...Not sure I'd do them for a living though. hehehe.

Thank you...

The funny thing about this, is I went by the colors it called for, and I'm not too thrilled with it, I should have stuck with the all black and white trim. :)

Starlet. I used a very thin stabilizer and pinned it to the backpack. I had to release the spring quite loosely on my hoop, and then center everything, then tighten it as much as possible. While stitching, I tried to keep it from drawing up by lightly putting my fingers around the area. I used my largest hoop for the emblem and the smallest for his name. I also had to rotate the designs to get them to fit right. Like I told Reva above, it took time and patience. I will say she loved it and paid me extra for it. :)
