Here's the stitchout of the FSL Angel from http://www.designsandbearstoo.com/storehuntmarch.html that just about made me pull my hair out and almost gave my poor ole Brother PC-8500 a heart attack! He clanged and banged the entire time while stitching this Angel. She is verrrrrrrrry dense and stitches on top of stitches to the point I was so frustrated by the time she finished I highly doubt if I'll ever stitch her again.The long jump stitches and short jump stitches made me crazy and I had to keep stopping to clip'em so they wouldn't show and distort the design. I know FSL needs to be fairly dense, but she was overkill! She has almost 38,000 stitches and is about 5x5, emboidery time 84 minutes that was over 2 hours due to jumps and thread breaks. I didn't do the writing because I just couldn't take anymore, and neither could my machine. Whew what a strangely digitized design!! I've contacted the digitizer with my findings and questions about the design. The set she is part of has the same Angel with different sayings, that I thought might be nice for different occasions, and was thinking about purchasing the entire set. But after stitching this one, I don't think my Brother or I could handle any more!! After I took her picture, I just had to giggle at the grief she caused to be an Angel and came to the conclusion, she's wearing a bra of roses! LOL
If anyone else stitches her, I would love to hear about your stitching experience with her.
And your welcome, I just don't want to hurt the digitizer, but wanted to share what happened to me with the design.
I'm happy your stitchin' her and anxious to see how she stitches for you since you enlarged her. In the set there is a smaller than the 5x5, but if it's as dense and the one I stitched, I wouldn't even try it!
Good luck and hope you still have your hair when you're finished! LOL
Huggs!! and *4u
