My first attempt at trapunto quilting on the new machine, and also my first attempt at digitizing a quilting/embroidery design! Other than that nasty little fold of fabric (I didn’t hoop it as tight as I should), it’s really nifty! Well, technically, it’s my second attempt at trapunto quilting on the new machine … sigh … that moment when you realize you forgot to put down the bottom layer of fabric and all the stuffing wants to pop out as you tear away the stabilizer… lol! Sorry, I neglected to take a picture of that fail!
As an FYI, that’s the Mimatar faction logo from the game EVE Online. The next one is the Amarr faction logo. I think I’ll try a thicker batting (or a triple layer of the cheap thin stuff I am using here), and cloth that isn’t just dog-and-cat-hair-covered scrap material!
Still not puffy enough, but that’s due more to the thinness of the Amarr logo, I should have enlarged it more. Going to break down and invest in wash-away stabilizer sooner rather than later, too!
Next up … the Caldari logo! I’m definitely getting the hang of digitizing embroidery patterns but of course, still much to learn.
The Caldari one came out nearly perfect. I widened the background stitch pattern size some, so the fabric now remains flexible, and enlarged the design as much as I could within my machine’s hoop size (and sash prototype). I definitely need a better camera …
