Hi to all, I had asked a question about digitizing FSL, my machine came back from the shop so for those interested, I did my test sew out of the designs I igitized.

Here are the results:

Photo 1
Santa A is done first in FSL base stitches then a second FSL stitching on top, in each color and it shows. I did not like how the hat came out so I made the one change in Santa B. The hat has normal ebroidery but I deleted the base stitching leaving only the very close straight line stitching, Better. I'm happy how he stitched out but did
have some thread breakage during the final zig zag stitching of the outer frame. He will not need washing.

The ginger bread girl sewed out very nicely and there was not a problem having the top normal embroidery stitching on her (deleting the base stitching first). Again I did have some thread breakage with the final zig zag frame stitching but in the picture you can see that she came out nicely on the back side! The pictures are before removing her from the stabelizer and trimming the excess threads.

The ginger bread boy stitched out very nicely, in the photo you can see the front and back before washing, NICE!!!! Hope you like that I put shorts on him, different.

I guess you can say that these three designs are all FSL because that's the majority of the stitching, even on the Santa.

I DO suggest that you trim all the threads at each change of color on the back to keep the clean up to a minimum.
