Van Gogh Iris

 What a difference it makes when you learn the tricks. 

My sister got another design for me to embroider for her....Van Gogh's Iris.  It went off without a hitch. And look how straight and even that is. Look at those T pins around the frame....that is the trick.

It's quite a trick in itself to get those suckers in there.

I put 3 on each long side and 2 on each short side of the frame.

The pins are fatter than regular pins, put the "T" helps keep the fabric and stabilizer from pulling out of the frame.

35 color changes....4 1/2 hours to stitch. This one is 8x10"

Even after taking it out of the frame, it still is straight and not puckery. You can be sure I will remember this when embroidering large designs.

Thank you, Sandy for the video by John Deere with the T pin trick. You are my new best friend. haha
