I embroidered this on the back of one of my husband's shirts. The designs are from Urban Threads. It was all done in one color thread. It required 3 hoopings. I did a test stitch just to be safe and it was fine. I hooped the shirt and the frustration began. If the thread broke once it broke 500 times and I am not kidding. Don't know why it just did. I was determined to succeed though so after 5 hours ( should have only taken 1 and a half) I embroidered the guns. The next day I added the flames. My placement is slightly off but my DH is happy with it and so am I. It's done! Hugs, Susan

beautiful!

Dear Susan,

It was worth all the anguish - it's stunning, love Chris

I love "Guy" designs! If your thread starts breaking again, Just slow your machine down a notch and see if that helps. I have a Madeira rayon spool which has given me trouble from day one. #1065 ,which is a wonderful color and I am determined to use it. Kay
