Graceful Embroidery Tutorials

There are always new challenges and skills to be learnt in the embroidery world as our machines become more complicated and our hoops larger!
With the introduction of Tutorials I hope to share some of the lessons I have learnt since buying my first embroidery machine!
I would like to "thank" those members of my Embroidery group who tested out these tutorials and made helpful comments.
It would not have been possible without them and I am grateful for all they have taught me over the years.

This second tutorial follows on from my first one enabling you to create this large (442mmx183mm) embroidered Japanese Blossoms heart design.
This beautiful combination only requires a 240mm x 150mm hoop to stitch the two part heart centre while adding the side branches only requires a 130mm x 180mm hoop.

Tutorial 3: Outline Alignment Method

My third tutorial shows you how to construct this beautiful lace oval created with Days of Grace designs!
At present this tutorial uses a 240mm x 150mm and 130mm x 180mm hoop. I will be adapting it for those who only have 130mm x 180mm hoops very shortly.
The tutorial contains the 4 designs to create the oval as well as a bonus design.
