Picking out machine embroidery?
Has anyone done this? Any tips? DS's number is #1 this year, last year it
was #91, which is what is on his fleece pullover. (make that very expensive fleece pullover that still fits!) Should I consider picking them both out and using waste canvas so the number is centered under his name? I will wait and see if he can be #1 on both teams (travel and house) before starting. I actually have managed to snatch some stitching time over the last few days; sadly I also needed to frog some too! Cheryl |

Cheryl I dont have comments on all your questions, but as to the actual frogging, I would suggest "very carefully". There are various devices which make it difficult to cut anything but the actual thread. A seam ripper is one, and, more expensive, "lift and cut" scissors. If you are using actual scissors, dont cut until you can see both tips of the scissors. I doubt if anything else but cutting will be satisfactory. HTH. -- Jim Cripwell.

Jim, I invested in a pair of lift and cut scissors when the local Joanne's went out - a useful tool for any kind of stitching. My biggest worry is about how the fleece will look after I take the number off. I should have his team info in a day or two. Cheryl |

A mustache trimmer can be used (on the back of the design, to cut the bobbin threads) but you need to be very careful not to get impatient and make hole in the fabric. Guess how I know that |
