Using Create and Modify in Primer

I wanted to change the stitch design of an embroidery I made in Create.  The design looked nice, but I wanted to change the stitch type to one I really liked.  At first I tried making all my changes in Modify thinking that this would make things easier however it didn't so I played a little and below are my results...

All changes were done in Modify
Changed stitch design from 3 to 36.
Trimmed and Stitchs Optimized

Design change of stitch design from 3 to 36 only (no trim or stitch optimization),
was done in Modify.

Stitch design was changed from 3 to 36 in Create.
Then copied and pasted to Modify for removing trim
commands and optimizing stitches.


The finished product!

Ok, ok, the "k" has a glaring problem.  Although I can assure you it does not when doing embroidery on normal fabric (check my Etsy listing to see the embroidered tea towel).  I am also not sure if the problem is partly due to using two threads to create a variegatedlook  as much as it is the design on burlap (loose, not doubled).  I had such a hard time choosing a color from my stash to use that I combined the two I was most considering.

News Flash and Few Odd's and End's

News Flash:

I'm working on an awesome embroidery design.  I'm sooooo excited and can't wait to get it out there, but I have really had to do a lot of work to get this right.  When I first started it I thought it would be easy as pie.  Nope.

Eva decided to experiment with her cupcake flavors.  She made a vanilla cake (from box, just because it was on hand) and split the batter adding almond extract to one jar and lemon to the other.  Then to differentiate the two flavors, she color coded them blue and green.  The family decided both were excellent substitutes to vanilla.

 Tip:

When working with small pieces such as 1" blocks or strips from Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage, use Bottom Line thread and size 70 needle.  I use Inspira, but they are not sold online so my link is to a set sold through the Missouri Star Quilt Company.

Have fun sewing!!
