This design is from Embroidery Library...it had a total of 17269 stitches. What a learning process this was, I feel like I could write a book (a very funny book!) about it! 3 color changes - it should have been very easy...but, I have a way of making something that should be easy into something very difficult! First of all, I'm not so good at reading directions all the way through before beginning something - I should have...Secondly, I dutifully filled three bobbins (one white, one red, one blue) but in my excitement after the white finished stitching out I forgot to change the red bobbin (ok, so, the red would be a lot redder if I had!!)...I felt so stupid...that I didn't forget to change to a blue bobbin when it was time... Oh, and this really was my second try because I didn't realize I needed to use a new size 11 needle...I am not going to let you see the first try....hahaha!
