I finished the Gold Metallic Heirloom Lace Angel from lindeegembroidery.com - the head and wings are 6.73 x 6.76 inches and have 61,406 stitches and the skirt is 10.85 x 7.50 inches and has 140,544 stitches - I had found some dark red ribbon that was wired and a bit too wide for my taste - so I just used what I already had embroidery thread and a tassel along with a pretty rose and lots of swarovski crystals. I hope you like the finished product and that you are not disappointed it how I finished her up.

Denise, thanks - I hope you stitch her soon and share her with us here in PROJECTS.

Well it is a lot of hours of work but you need the right market at $250 not pensioned ederly people on fixed incomes.
I will not be selling this for $250.
Well that was my shock price, it might sell at that price but you need good product placement.
Its the business side of my personality coming out. Products and channels of distribution etc.

You have finished her off with just the right amount of crystals. This must have taken you all day just for the stitching.

Thanks Anita - actually I did the stitching yesterday - about 6 hours. Today I did the rinsing, drying and molding and staging - then later this evening I did the emblishment.

Thanks Chris - it took about 6 hours for the stitching - another couple for the molding and staging - and about a half hour or more for the embellishments.

wow, lots of moulding done here.
Yes, there was alot - the metallic thread has to have all the stabilizer rinsed out - to look shiney - so then you have to add a stiffiner to mold it into the shape you see it in. Thanks

Oh my goodness she looks lovely but would be more so in the flesh. It would have taken longer to stitch being metallic as most people have to slow their machines down for this thread....
1 comment
thank you - I didn't slow my machine down for this thread whatsoever - never had one thread break and only stopped stitching when I had to change bobbins - then on with the stitching.

Who is your target market? Where are you marketing?

I'm thinking shishi boutique fronts on consignment sale at that price. Specialty
year round christmas shops. In Los Angeles,CA we have different markets.
Lots of stars and people with $$$ but they
shop in different stores than the rest of us. For a decorative item at $250 I think it requires special marketing ideas even online.
Just my 2 cents

She is LOVELY!!! Shirlene, and I was wondering how much you would charge for this item, with that many stitches? I have a problem knowing what to charge when there are sooo many stitches. Nice job!
4 comments
Also, you said that you didn't have a problem with the Metallic thread, could you tell us what brand Metellic thread you use? And what machine do you have? You do beautiful work, Shirlene!
Jane, thank you so very much - I will PM you on the price. As for the Metallic Thread - I purchase mine from The Embroidery Store - http://www.embstore.com/ - 1-800-504-9757
Thanks for the information. When I've tried to use Metallic thread, it wants to twist & kink.
buy the biggest spool you can - use a stand - use a mesh net - use a large needle.

Thank you so very much - orders are rather slow at coming in - over the year and a half - I have had 20 orders. Not very profitable or productive for me.

She really does look stunning, Shirlene. And thank goodness we can do other things while our machines sew, because that'd be a whole lot of time we'd need to sit still otherwise!

Sew beautiful. My mother in law used to be a collector of angels. They were everywhere in her home. They brought such peace when she was going through those hard times of life. Nice job.

Thank you - angels to have a way of doing that - don't they.
I remember sharing a little angel with a elderly lady a year ago - she said that she collected angels and then she laughed and said, "May husband thinks he was my 1st Angel, too!"
