A challenge! ISO American Indian in full head dress. A friend recommended me to teach simple Machine Embroidery techniques, and I have had a few customers so far. Now I have a challenge, a deaf lady wants to learn her 6 needle machine! I don't have a 6 needle, but that isn't such a problem, she knows her machine, just needs info re stablizers, threads, hooping, etc. Ok, I can cover that, and we are fortunate as the state will provide an interpreter. Imagine, if you will, she can't hear anything...not the bells and whistles of the machine, not the sounds we depend on when a thread breaks, a needle goes wonky, etc. THAT is a challenge, not for me, you understand, but for her! I have to give her credit, she is up for this!

She is in search of an American Indian design in full head dress, and I would love to find it for her. I searched SiCK, Embrodery Library, I don't remember one on Cuties, thought you ladies could help me find one! Thank you so much for all you do to educate me, in part you are right here helping me teach! Linda

I Linda, there may be adaptive devices they can program into her machine. I am surprised the ADA has not broached this subject. Her counseler should have access so she would be your person! I will look for an Indian as I am doing my dailies. Live Laugh Download Stitch!

I don't know about the head and head dress, but I give both of you kudos! I can appreciate certain disabilities. Hugs to you both,

I have an Indian head in full headdress but I can't remember where I got it but it was free. I have been collecting patterns for free for 4 yrs & it was one of the 1st ones I collected. Wish I could remember where I got it.

I was just going through all the designs at OregonPatchWorks and found one of just the head of the Indian with the headdress on. There were several. I don't know how to upload the link but go to OregonPatchWorks.com Then click on the second box - Ace Points. The 7th row from the bottom is a group called American Indian. The number of the designs is AP1326A. The size is 5 x 5. Unfortunately it is $35.00. Hope this helps.
