Eye of the Tiger which I had to do when I saw it. I started at 10am and finishes twelve hours later at 10pm falling asleep over the machine. Only have to find a suitable frame to fit.
Note: I slowed the machine down and changed the needle twice. It made all the difference!!!

So real . He is looking right into my soul. Fantastic. What size hoop did you use and....... how many stitches?, Great job :)

I used a 6 x 10 hoop and this is the middle size design Embroidery Library has with almost 122000 stitches. Best wishes Christine

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your stitching experience. I have the same design for the 5 x 7 frame. I will remember to slow down the machine. Great idea.

Good luck. You'll love him and also change the needle a few times especially if the thread starts to keep breaking. Love Christine

It is simply stunning Christine. I love anything that Embroidery Library does, except their designs are so dense. It looks fabulous. Love and blessings Chris

It wasn't too bad to begin with but of course as colours overlap towards the end it got denser. You right.

wow, it looks fantastic. 12 hours is a long time and here I was thinking 2-3 hours was a long time to stitch a design.

This is the longest project I've undertaken. I suppose you could do it over a few days but once I start I like to finish. Christine

Very eye catching looks lovely is it what they call a photo design or just an embroidery design? I know how surprised I am some times how long it takes to sew out an embroidery design with a lot of colour changes
well worth it though yours looks great
well worth it though yours looks great

I think you might mean photo stitch but this is just a normal design but does have slight shading.

Stunning! What a beauty! I love the detail, the superb shading, the expert digitising. And you stitched it out beautifully! How many colours did you use? The yellow of the eye has 4 shades I think, and the white to grey too, the orange to brown - it must have been an nice collection of threads you used!

Thank Mops. There wasn't so many colours at all. Not as many as you might think nor as many as some other designs I've stitched. The most I've done is I think 42 colours on a small Christmas circle picture. Luv Christine.

I admire your perserverance in stitcking with this project. It is a fabulous and deserves to be hung in your house where everyone can enjoy it. I often think of these designs as being for multineedle machines, but you just proved that a single needle can do it too! Good work!

This is terrific! What size needle did you use, and what type of fabric ? I don't mean to be nosey, but I have been to intimidated to attempt something like this. This is truly a work of art!

Hi Nadyne. I used a cotton which I ironed a light interfacing on the back and then placed a fairly thin wadding and of course hooped it with stablizer and out of habit more than anything I float another piece of stablizer which you probably don't need with all the other layers. But I know you could do it too. I think getting the fabric and layers right to begin with helps a lot as the design get denser as it goes along. Have a go. Let us see what you come up with? Luv Christine

I tried getting the threads as close to what EmbLib had done and I only think the eye could have been yellower! Christine. There wasn't as many colours as you might first think.

I tried to make him look like the one on EmbLib.
well, you sure did a gorgeous job!! I looked last night, I saw that the owl is on sale for $1.08...no Tiger eye. Did they have the eye of the Tiger on sale too because I missed that sale :(
Yes on got it last week on sale.
