Sunny’s Kokopelli

Now I need to get a dowel or flat piece of wood, stain it and put a hanger on it.  I used three small dream catchers on some of the hangers.  It turned out to be a big job, but I’m happy with it – hope our friends who live in AZ like it!  Thanks so much for all your advice, Suz.  I did find that on the borders I used a thinner craft batting, and it was much better to stitch together.  I didn’t have any Ultaseude (have you priced it lately?) so I used some suedecloth that I had around.  I used a variegated yarn and couched all the seams because I didn’t think satin stitching would work very well (at 9mm!) — Sunny     (I know what you mean about Ultraseude!…..Suz)

Donald’s Peacock Lady

I’m very pleased with BFC. I love doing the wall hangings. I’v done well over 100 and put a lot of others designs in about 110 quilts. I’v had several heart operations this past 4 years and just getting back to this.

I’ve attached my favorite. My wife had it framed after the last time i came home from the hospital.

Laura’s Beautiful Work

Thought you might like to see what I did with your wonderful designs.  Thank you so much for all the effort you put in to your digitizing.  What you can’t see here is the label I put on the back that acknowledges Sally King as artist, BFC Creations as digitizer and myself as stitcher.  Thanks again.

Carolyn’s Experience with Thread

Carolyn sent me this message yesterday.  I was very pleased and interested in her  in her results!  Thank you Carolyn!

Good afternoon, Suz…I have to tell someone and you are the only person who would know what I am talking about. I recently signed up for a class at my local shop to make the OESD Christmas Village. The first class was Monday and not much was going well. My machine wouldn’t accept the designs, the bobbins weren’t winding well (had to use same thread top and bottom). I was using a Brother NV1600 embroidery only machine, certainly not top of the line but more than sufficient to take to class. So here is where you come in. When I got home, things got worse…I did all the usual…checked the bobbin case, wound the bobbins on a separate device (which I could regulate speed and tension), changed the needle, slowed the stitching speed, checked the plate, etc. After the machine ate the project 2/3 way through 32000 stitches, I went looking for different thread. I found a cone of Admelody that was almost the same color. I ditched the first attempt and started all over this morning. Now, you know how old that thread has to be, but GUESS WHAT!!! Not a hiccup, bump, or pause…only when the bobbin ran low. The designs are stitching beautifully,  my blood pressure has returned to normal and the air has cleared. I am so excited and now looking forward to completing the project. Thank you for having such quality products as well as your designs. You have made my day. The color I am using is 226 and it looks like BFC 2168 is the right one to get, as I am sure I will need more that I have. Thanks again, Carolyn Kenngott Have a great day!!!

Ready for Christmas giving by Bernice

This a shirt from Kmart,  I used my serger to lettuce the edges of the sleeves and bottom.  Mine didn’t get the crystals. I made 11 of them,  blinged the gifts.  Bernice

Not only does the embroidery look great, but i love the edges with the serger!  I’ve known people do this, but I love this shirt – it’s a perfect finish.  I bet everyone loved them!
