Monogram for a tote bag. My quilting friend makes these beautiful tote bags for gifts and I monogram them for her. I prefer to do the embroidery work before it is assembled, but she brought me this one already finished. I remembered my dealer had showed me once to turn the bag inside out and turn the design around. it worked but it was another screamer. The pattern of the musical notes saved me as I had something to go by to keep it straight. I had to hold the other side of the bad up the whole time it stitched. I envy you ladies with professional machines. God Bless You!!! Kay

I was pleased with it and I hope the lady who received it will appreciate both of our hard work. One thing for sure, she can not re gift it with the monogram on it He! He!!!

Not going to happen for me either. First , no place to put it and can't take it in for service and third no money to buy it!!!

You did a great job. Some things are more difficult on home machines but we are not to be stopped are we?

A long time ago I said no to ball caps and tote bags and I had a hard time saying no to my friend. Kay

The fabric is really nice and the font is gorgeous! You really did a great job with the embroidery. Did you digitize the font or is it available somewhere?

I think it is an Apex font. I will look it up and post.

I looked up the font for you who were interested. My print out sheet had Apex, Fish. This may become one of my favorite fonts as it could be masculine or feminine. I think it would work for towels for the master bath when men don't wants all the scrolls. Thank you for all the comments. Kay
