I got this design from Sick.... it took me all day to do, I should have started with something simple , but I got there eventually, I will now go back to doing something less complicated for a beginner and leave this sort of this till next year (more experience) I still love how it turned out hope you do too,
P.S. don't know why the picture came through on its side... sorry

found this design at sick embroidery, it was done in 5 pieces and on felt, for some strange reason the red thread kept breaking , the other colours were fine , just the red would keep breaking, I am new to this machine embroidery so all my threads are new so I don't think it was the age of the thread.
122This is beautiful. I love it! You did and great job. Will have to locate this design so I can do it myself.

29955966022Great Job on Santa! You may now find that going back the less complicated designs may no longer be as rewarding as they once were, just slowly increase the difficulty of the projects you do and allow yourself enough time to complete them so you do not become frustrated or overwhelmed. You really did a wonderful job on this project!

2346Wow! Your Santa looks great. Why go back to simpler as it appears you have mastered the complicated ;) As for the picture being horizontal, well, Santa is just taking a nap, resting up for all the deliveries he will need to make in a few days! Merry Christmas!

3290318435He looks great. A lot of pictures are coming out sideways lately, but if you click on the picture to look at it more closely, it is miraculously the right way up!

ok, that is strange, as it is up the right way on my computer, while I was stitching this the red cotton kept breaking, it was the only colour that kept breaking, I don't think my machine likes that colour.
thanks for your comment

Maybe try lowering the speed, when it gets to the red thread, to keep from breaking. I have never used cotton emb thread, didn't know there was any.

The sideways pictures are from iPhone's, iPad's, and other Apple products. The software that comes with the Apple product will show the picture upright on your computer -- but upload it sideways here. So, unless you click on the picture the picture will appear sideways or even upside-down.

yes mine is polyester, maybe I will lower the speed for that colour and see what happens. Thanks rescuer I was taking the photos with my mobile phone then posting, that is prob why , I will do it next time with my proper camera and see , Thanks for advice
