5th Wheel

I belong to the Maritime Good Sam Club.Good Sam Club is a club for RVs. I had to make something for our raffle basket. This is what I came up with. The design is just beautiful. It took more than an hour to embroider. I learned one thing, when I changed the size on the pattern, the pattern became very distorted.I''m not sure why that happened. I have so much to learn. After making the blue one, I regretted framing it as the space on each side of the pattern was to small. That one I kept.

well done, they are sure to be a big hit! Most of the time a design can maintain itself if you increase it upto 20% but after that it starts to change & the more you enlarge it the more it will change & the more you shrink it the denser it will become until you can't sew it out @ all.

That's exactly what happened. The first 1/2 hour of embroidering was just fine, then all of a sudden, surprise!

I find that I can not change designs from Embroidery Library by very much because their designs are so dense. Maybe it is just my machine

They both look beautiful, although in the brown one the window frames seem to have moved down a bit, giving the impression of snow.
NIce work in both!

Thanks mops. You are right, the design did move down probably in the last 15 minutes of my design. I was so upset. Then I thought, I will say that it is a black blind and it is partially up. (lol)

Either way, blinds up or snow, it works!!

Are you in Canada or South Carolina? (Maritime club locations) We have a motorhome that we travel in 1 weekend out of every month in one of the following: Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, North and South Carolina. I'm in North Georgia and we are members of a local club.

I am in Canada. Maritime refers to the provinces on the east coast, it includes Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island. We have a 5th wheel just like in the picture. Ours is gold and white. I bet you just love your motorhome.
