What was your inspiration?

This Class

What are you most proud of?

I LOVE being able to look up my sitches prior to stitching them out. Now I am also making a Stitch Bible for all of my Lettering samples that I have with my Embroidery machine (which will 14 full size pages in itself - but worthwhile)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I didn't change my width or length during the stitch out BECAUSE I had SO many to do - and many of them would be worthless to record - I do however wish that I would have only stitched 2 per line rather than 3 (however it would have made MORE pages :-)) AND I do wish I had not used the gromets but rather maybe a large buttonhole or something of the sort. (I am 'tempted' to do it over - but ..... no. :-)

Love your finished book! I have a Viking diamond with tons of stitches....would like to get mine done...but it honestly overwhelmed me. Very exciting and encouraging to see one completed. Guess I better get to work. Great job!

I made one also for all of my Lettering on my 'Ruby' and it has turned out to be the most valuable - especially when it comes to making labels

Have you finished yours yet? I use mine ALL the time - especially the one with the different Alphabets stitched out. :-)

lots of pages and stitches. mine will not be that thick or have that many stitches as I only have the Platinum 955E and the H 100 Q. neither one has as many stitches as the higher end machines but am very happy with these machines. I also have the s25 serger and the Mega Quilter.

You have a lot more stitches and a lot more pages than I did when I did my stitch bible. I only ended up with a couple of pages with 3 stitches in most of the rows. But I've found it so useful.

You will continue to love the Ruby. It is a fantastic machine. I had one. Decided to upgrade to the Designer Diamond Deluxe. I love that one, too!

I,m making a pattern book ahowing all my patterns and the completed block for my granddaughter, Sarah, who loves to help by learning how to quilt. This will be hers to keep one day. I think this art should be handed down. My mother started me when I was her age. I wish she had left me a book of her patterns. They were beautiful.
