to all the cuties who gave me advice on the shoe embroidery: I madea sample of the design and it turned out better than I thought it would. I did not have any organsa so I used bridal net, one piece across and one piece up and down. Instead of the clear wss I used vilene and a 75/11 needle I used my 9000 to put the initial in the middle.the vilene washed out great so no problem there. Now I have to see what kind of shoes she will wear and make the designs for them.Thanks to all of you who helped me and when all is done i will send pictures, maybe with the wedding gown. what a great group you all are. hugs
