A close up of the stitches.

Looks good to me, thanx for showing, hugs S*

Hi Dolly,
Congratulations on your hard work. I think they look
great after washing. Stitching looks greats to me.
Thanks so much for posting your results. They will
be adorable hanging ornaments.

Looks great, I think you did a wonderful job.

For those pesky little stitches, Jenny Haskins uses a hot tip Stencil Burner for her projects...even to cut out organza appliques. You need to be careful if you are using polyester thread as it can melt on you, but if you use rayon thread..it isn't a problem. I put the item on a piece of glass or a mirror, run the hot tip around and, voila, all those pesky threads disappear. I have used this technique even with polyester thread and haven't really had a problem, but Jenny warns about poly thread. She call her technique Embroidery Decoupage...you make all of the elements like FSL or appliques and then place them on the quilt and with a tiny zig zag and mono clear thread, sew them to the quilt or blocks. The link to the tool is below on Jenny's site...I don't have this one, but I have something very similar and it works like a charm. If the piece is big enough, sometimes I just hold it in my hand and run the tip around the edges...just be careful and keep the hot tip moving...don't let it rest in one place. Just like "Magic"...those pesky threads disappear!

You think I would know better...finally, here is the link to the hot tip Stencil cutter...sorry :( for the clutter...

They look fantastic.

are these after they have dried or are they still wet? I would think they would look different wet or dry.

They all look wonderful - both the fronts and the backs. You've done a trmendous job with your digitizing!!! Congratulations!!!!

They all turned out beautiful, you can't tell which is front or back. Great job.

WalMart has a woodburner set that has a stencil cutter tip with it that works great . Much cheaper than Jenny H.

An amazing amount of detail. Good job!

These really washed up beautifully, Dolly, they look great! I am amazed by the amount of detail in Santa's face, most amazed by his eyes and eyebrows, you got those black outline lines spot on! Well done! What program are you using? I think you said, but I forgot. Hugs, Marji

They yurned out great!

Success is sweet!

Lovely job and well done, Dolly. I look forward to having them in my stack to embroider myself. Thanks in the meantime for sharing with us.

Fantastic detail on the Santa - and he is always my favorite at Christmas. LOL
