I like this type of design as well - life is too short for designs with 80000 stitches!
Yes me too, I have seen some really pretty colorline designs too
I love them for my pillowcases. They give a nice show and are comfy enough to sleep on.
I do however iron on Interfacing on all bed emb for the laundry factor.
P.S I use two threads through the needle at once for less dense RW and they can be diff colours.
I just posted a link in freebies that had 5 simple dress, and a chicken.
