My first embroidery machine was the Pfaff 7570. The designs I used were Creative Fantasy and were on purchased cards that fit into a slot at the side of the machine. Well, I traded that machine in for the 2140 (which I still have, although it's been updated to be the same as the 2170 - and I did keep my cards) and then purchased the Pfaff Creative Vision...I use both of those machines today.

Anyway, all that to say that one day I was wondering why I wasn't using the lovely designs from the Pfaff cards and this is what I did. These doilies are stitched out on my CV in the 200X200 hoop. The circular frame is one of Sue Box's designs that I just love. The floral design is an applique design from Pfaff CF card #7-design #14. I used the Encore feature in my 5D software and multiplied the design 3 times (that's all that would fit in the frame). Using that combination of 3X the floral and the frame here are 3 different stitchouts that I made.
1. White on white - I did not do any of the colour changes;
2. I did colour changes but ignored the applique; and
3. This was the same as 1 and 2, but this time I included the applique.
What a fun experiment! Hope this gives you all some ideas; especially, don't forget about your "oldie goldy" designs just because you have a newer machine.
Blessings to you all, Avis
