Wow what labor of love for your pastor. Always afraid of designs with so high stitch counts and color changes. Looks great!

Thank you for the praise. Last year I embroidered The Last Supper which was 240,000 stitches and gave it to our pastor.

I worked at it for three days - hour wise probably 12 to 14 hours maybe more.

WOW. I can assure you that if I tried something like that, it would really mess up on the last color change! Admire you. And looks good.

Beautiful. What material is it embroidered on, and what kind and how much stabilizer? It stitched out so nicely for the high stitch count.

I used a broadcloth material and I used one piece of a tear away stabilizer. Not one thread breakage or thread jam in throat plate. It was long but a pleasure to do.

Wow, that's incredible! Shows how well the design was digitized!

Impressive, you must send a picture to EL when it is all finished.

Gorgeous - and you can see how much work and time you spent on it. Please send it in to EmbLib and they will probably feature it in their projects on-line,

Wow! You are very adventurous to attempt a design of that many stitches and color changes. I agree, Emblibrary has some excellent digitizers. Yours is absolutely perfect. And, here I am thinking, 64,000 stitches and up are beyond what I want to ever stitch.

I've just noticed that this post is dated August 2012.
Wow, you have done a great job, love it. It seems that your hoop is the same size as my largest hoop, 200by360mm (8x14" approx.).
