When my daughter asked if I would put Victoria's name on her back pack, I said I don't think the name would fit yet be large enough, but maybe her initials...but I was cringing at the thought. I had not done anything like that, well except the beanbag chair...but even that is not like a BACKPACK! Then when I saw it with the double tripple set of stripes right where the initials should be...I was thinking....HOW MANY NEEDLES WILL I BREAK DOING THIS, HOW WILL I HOOP IT.... But to my surprise it hooped really easy and was stiff enough I knew it would not need stablizer. Based on all I read here yesterday about the need to change needles often. I put a new needle and started the stitching. Now I chose a light pink thinking it would show pretty good....NOT...so did it again over the pink with a dark turquoise and the effect which I am sad to say does not show well in the pictures, is really cool. Anyway, I am no longer afraid of a backpack, as long as I can get it somehow into the hoop. The design stitches in about 10 minutes, so fast too, unfortunatly I don't have any idea where I got the font, but cool for a kid. Peggy
GREAT job!!
