Not bad as you say for first try, not bad at all.
Did you remember to lengthen your stitch? I set mine on 3.5 or 4 length, otherwise it may sit and eat it up. While I think I stitch mine closer to the outer edge, there is no wrong or right way, just so edges and stitches are even. Good job-Toogie

Also, try using a walking foot. It feeds the bottom and the top the same.
Thanks for the extra tips!

I also did a man box but I used cotton fabric and batting and backing I still think it looks better with vinyl

It looks pretty fabulous to me! Thanks for the heads up with the problems you encountered. What kind of stabilizer did you use? Or how did you hoop it?

I am just saying what I did. I hooped tear away. Then I laid my top vinyl on top of stabilizer by floating it, but you have to hold it in place, so it won't move. I used a secpnd layer on the back which I sewed on with regular machine. I put directions in Community/Sewing.
yep i did the same but old singer didn't like it sew i tried fancy stitches lol will try today i hope on another machine hugs

This man's box you'd done looks lovely& brave of you to try it on vinyl too. Wondered what size needle you'd tried& what weight stabilizer too? Thanks for sharing it. :~D

This is what I did.I used a 14 needle and mine did well BUT lengthen your stitch length so it won't take tiny stitches and bog down.It also helps to use your walking foot as I don't know how it would 'feed' with a regular foot. I only embroidered the top layer hooping just the tear away, then after embroidery put together with the straight stitches. Directions are in my post in Community/Sewing.

Love the cuddling bear on your man's box. Good job. Have never tried sewing with vinyl, am such a coward.
