My latest round table mat.
This time I have used a freebie from the Embroidery Inspirations collection by Sue Box. I have duplicated/rotated the design five times in my software and this is the result.
Hugs, Lidia
P.S.: Forgot to write that I have stitched the green colour first instead of third, to avoid the green swirls covering the red floral designs in the centre.

It is a beautiful mat. The design looks totally different in brighter colors and duplicated this way. Very nicely done.

Yes, it looks really different, especially since I have changed the stitching order of the colours of the design: the green was fine in the single design but when I duplicated-rotated it, it covered the reddish floral design in the middle, spoiling the total look. It has been fun to watch the various possibilities and the final new design. Thanks for your comment. Hugs, Lidia
Colour sorting is always a good idea when you multiple a design and fortunately the software shows how it turns out. Great work!
Thank you, Martine!

Very pretty. You are really good at manipulating the designs and creating new patterns.

Thank you, Smokey. Love creating new patterns. I have changed the order of stitching the colours but not the design itself, otherwise it would have been an infringement of copyright.

It looks very sophisticated - nice work on the placement. Don't you love those (auto-)rotate functions (called "encore" in Husqvarna/Pfaff software). It makes amazing patterns from even the simplest designs - and you started out with a beautiful one and the result is spectacular.

I have the Husqvarna/Pfaff software but I usually use the Auto Repeat function in Embird. Love that function and I use it often to create new patterns in a few seconds and many times they are, as you say, spectacular. Love this technology. Thanks for your lovely comment, Martine.

I've been away for a while and this was a lovely welcome back design for me. I first thought you used a floral fabric and embroidered the pink on that. This is an interesting and lovely embroidery design. Nice choice!

This is stunning! When you say that you rotate the designs does that mean that you do this in one hooping? How big a hoop did you use?
I only have a 5x7 so I would have to re hoop each time and I wouldn't get the lovely edge that you have.
Love your work!! Hugs, Nadyne

Yes, Nadyne, I have stitched the whole table mat in one hooping and it fitted my 8x8" (20x20cm) hoop.
I'm afraid that your hoop is too small for this tablemat.

Is there a secret to how you do your satin edging? I have many of Sue's designs and when I saw the one you posted around Valentine's Day I knew what to do with some of my designs. I have a Pfaff CV with the 5D software and then things took off!! It's great to work these designs into the 360X350 hoop. Thanks for your inspiration and encouragement!!

There is no secret, just trim the fabric close to the stitching before embroidering the satin edge. Congratulations on your big hoop, that's the one I would love to have.
Thanks for your comment.
