The Nativity Scene by Embroidery Library- just finished 180,000 stitches and 6 bobbins later. I will frame it and will be giving it to our pastor.

Wow, you have done a great job, love it. It seems that your hoop is the same size as my largest hoop, 200by360mm (8x14" approx.).
Hugs, Lidia

47144Wow! You are very adventurous to attempt a design of that many stitches and color changes. I agree, Emblibrary has some excellent digitizers. Yours is absolutely perfect. And, here I am thinking, 64,000 stitches and up are beyond what I want to ever stitch.
18476Gorgeous - and you can see how much work and time you spent on it. Please send it in to EmbLib and they will probably feature it in their projects on-line,

37638Beautiful. What material is it embroidered on, and what kind and how much stabilizer? It stitched out so nicely for the high stitch count.

I used a broadcloth material and I used one piece of a tear away stabilizer. Not one thread breakage or thread jam in throat plate. It was long but a pleasure to do.

I worked at it for three days - hour wise probably 12 to 14 hours maybe more.
115746Wow what labor of love for your pastor. Always afraid of designs with so high stitch counts and color changes. Looks great!

Thank you for the praise. Last year I embroidered The Last Supper which was 240,000 stitches and gave it to our pastor.
