Some time ago Lidia commented that she wanted to see what I'd do in the way of using a design big enough for the Pfaff 360X350 hoop. Well, I've played around with several smaller designs and have just stitched out one of them. Design is from Sue Box and called "Azalea Design". The black design outline measures 14X14 inches. Because the hoop is so large the design stitches out in 2 parts. The 3rd picture shows how close they match up...I'm quite pleased with my first effort as other large designs I've done have been designed by someone else. This will probably turn into a cushion but right now I'm wondering whether I should put some lettering in the centre. maybe "Home Sweet Home"? Any suggestions? Avis

I have quite a collection of Sue's designs and they stitch out beautifully. What are you making with her designs? Thanks for your comment. Avis

What a lovely design. It is beautiful. I don't think you would need to add anything to the center. DebB

Wow.. great job on this... i also have the PFAFF largest hoop and still havent managed to make use of it... it seems that the design needs to be a mirror image in order to be able to stitch it out, otherwise you need to know how to play around with a digitizing software in order to split an image... hopefully will be able to figure this soon :)

Do you have any of the Pfaff software? I use 5D. Give it a try, you can play on your computer and get ideas. Thanks for your encouragement. Let me know if I can help. Lidia walked me through a lot - after seeing her beautiful doilies I just had to try. What Pfaff model do you have? Avis

The design is very pretty, and you have done a great job with the embroidering of it. A pillow/cushion will look super, i think it really does not need anything in the centre it is just perfect as is. Sandra.

Thanks for your input, Sandra. The more I look at it I believe you're right. Text would probably be too much. Avis

Congratulations Avis, it's stunning! You've done a marvellous job on this design and I agree with you and the others, a cushion would be great. I immediately thought of "Love begins at home" when I saw this design. Love Chris

Thanks, Chris. I think I'll leave this one plain; however, I have a couple more of Sue Box's azalea designs that I've manipulated so perhaps I'll use your suggestion on one of those. Love your suggestion for the centre. Avis

Thanks, Lidia. I'm glad you got me to try this. The black basting outline is 14" square so this should make a nice sized pillow. Now to finish the project!! Avis

I was going to say 'Simply Gorgeous', but, I know there is nothing 'simply' about this--it is Amazing! It's a beautiful design but it is what you make of this design that does the trick. It will be a gorgeous cushion.

you did a great job. I would put something in the middle . Home sweet home sounds good or a large initial or monogram.

I think I'm going to let this just be as is; however, I'm already thinking about doing it again and will likely try something in the centre, Thanks for your input...I appreciate it. Avis

I just purchased the Pfaff with the 360x350 hoop - I am inspired!

Good for you! You will love it once you get going. Have you owned other Pfaffs? What model are you working with? It's taken me quite awhile to feel friendly with that large hoop, but now I just have to make sure I have the time to be close to the machine while it stitches out such huge designs. This design used more than 4 bobbins of thread!! Thanks for commenting. Avis
