They have very whimsical designs you might enjoy. Be sure to look for their free ones. Send PM and we can maybe discuss a trade.

This is a great website! Thanks for sharing!

I enjoy machine embroidery too. Sometimes it is a nice change of pace from the quilting. Today I am trying a new project-a ring bearer pillow. I'll let you know how it goes. It's my first time embroidering on satin! I love the websites mentioned above. Also try Secrets of Embroidery at http://www.secretsof.com

I've been wondering about these ITH designs with a zipper. Does it really save time? It looks like more trouble than it's worth. How long would you say it takes to make one of these little zip things?

emblibrary.com has lots of them. They make life so much easier doing them all in the hoop. There are lots of people on here that do embroidery for quilting and for lots of other projects. We've even asked for our own link but was told no. I made a coin purse designed by our emb club teacher with the zipper and my initial on it. Lots of fun. Yours is cute.

I took a class one night and made one in less than an hour and that was learning as I went because I was late to class due to work so I'm always playing catch up. I'm going to re design mine so the zipper goes up and down instead of across to make it easier to get the debit card out of it; mine is oval shaped.

Hi,
I have a Viking Designer SE and haven't embroidered for awhile. But I am definately going to this site. Thank you for the post. The owl is adorable.
