I scanned in a picture or downloaded a .bmp. Took it over to my Babylock digitizing program. Cleaned it up and got rid of all the unwanted objects. Added color, thread count and design. I write it to a card and insert it into my Ese2 machine to sew it out. I do any testing and tweeking before it ready for the quilt material.
I have done hundreds and hundreds of designs myself, plus I've downloaded tons from other digitizer online. Which, I know I will never ever use.
I have plenty to share if you need any. I know they are costly from the companies, like 45.00 for a card of 20.
The SunBonnet Sue quilt has some 3 dimensional parts on it too, like the hair sticking out from under their hats. It's embroidery floss. Turned out cute.
