I embroidered this on the back of one of my husband's shirts. The designs are from Urban Threads. It was all done in one color thread. It required 3 hoopings. I did a test stitch just to be safe and it was fine. I hooped the shirt and the frustration began. If the thread broke once it broke 500 times and I am not kidding. Don't know why it just did. I was determined to succeed though so after 5 hours ( should have only taken 1 and a half) I embroidered the guns. The next day I added the flames. My placement is slightly off but my DH is happy with it and so am I. It's done! Hugs, Susan

Looks amazing and only you (and a few cuties) know your aggravation in getting it stitched out.

I love "Guy" designs! If your thread starts breaking again, Just slow your machine down a notch and see if that helps. I have a Madeira rayon spool which has given me trouble from day one. #1065 ,which is a wonderful color and I am determined to use it. Kay
