Did you ever do something like this? I was going to emb, something on the toe of these boots for Avery. and I did on one.Stitched perfectly.Will add link for free design,if I don't forget.If I do,scroll down,it will be there when I remember-LOL Anyway, the second one was stitching and machine sounded like it was twisting up so I stop it.My fleece was caught in the needle plate hole and I thought I was going to have to cut it to get it out.Well,I eventually got it out and took the plate off.I had been having trouble with my cutter, not wanting to cut my top thread.The thread was all wadded up around the knife so I cleaned it all out,put back together and decided to not use the designs on the boots.I thought it may look more like the booties,which they are, than the boot look, which I wanted.So the outside with the design, is now the inside linings.They fit perfectly over Avery's braces and I am tickled to death!Links are for patterns for them, other link is instructions how to sew and assemble and the one for the design.It is a pretty wheat design.click on plants at flipzooka,and there are 3 like this, that match.NOTICE when you go to the mae mae link,it will say error,but look at the headline and click on 'diy'-PATTERNS and it will take you to the page for Booties has different sizes from newborn to 5 years (Avery's 8) can print out or save in a pdf file ....Scroll down here for the freebie link.I will have to try and find it again and post it in another comment on this page.
