Here's #9 tile .Have had a few days away from the machine doing other things. This tile has the rear of the Ark and bears descending down a ramp. The tile has 72k stitches ,11 applique overlays,68 color changes, this took ages because of the applique layers ,there was a lot of starting and stopping.The stitch out time is 170 minutes but you can triple that with stoppages ie;applique-color changes-taking hoop in and out of machine,trimming applique, probably more like 7 hrs. Have changed the needle 5 times since starting this project. I use 100/16 needle size and swap out every 120k stitches because of the thickness of layers of applique,definitively notice the difference when freshly changed.
