My first attempt to monogram some boots! I was terrified I would ruin them so I went to Goodwill and picked up a pair for 6.00, figuring if i ruined them at least I wasnt out alot of money, but they turned out great!

So great I had to do it again! This time with some crosses. I LOVE these!

Then I decided I needed a cute sweatshirt to go with my cute boots! I know you cant tell in the photos but the shirt is ivory and the letters are cranberry.

This is actually for my daughter, a monogrammed infinity scarf. Quick and simple. I'm off to my machine now to start a wedding dress sash that will be quite labor intensive.

Wow, impressive. What machine do you use for your monograming?

I have a Viking Designer Ruby. Just a single needle home machine. Its on my wish list to upgrade to a 10 needle eventually though :D

I used to work on a 15 needle Tajima, I did caskets for over 5 yrs. I loved that job, best job I ever had, and the benefits of using the machine were great to. my emb area was 22 x 26"

you did lovely work on those boots, good luck with the sash, and show us when you're done

I luvvvvvv those boots! You did really good. Wow! I've never seen this done before.

Beautiful work Those boots are to die for

wow, the boots are awesome!! great job!

You really did a terrific job on the boots!! Like the other items, too. Nice work.

I've never seen this done before either....very cool....great work.

You are definitely on a roll. Love your crosses on your boots.

WOW1! Never thought of embroidery on boots but that is so pretty!!

How in the world did you hoop the boots. they look amazing!

Beautiful!

A unique idea that turned out great.

I'm in LOVE!!!!!!!!!! I love the boots and by daughters and DGD would have a cow!
Great job, I don't think there is any way my machine could do that.
I am VERY impressed!!!!!!!

They all look great!

The Ruby should easily be able to handle the leather or vinyl. Just make sure you use the teflon Q foot.

I used to sell the Vikings. You don't hoop stuff like that you just sorta lay them on top of the hoop and stabilizer and a bit of sticky stuff. If I remember right.

That is what I did. I no longer hoop anything I'm embroidering. I hoop the stabilizer and spray and pin my item to that. My stitching improved 200%.

The boots have a zipper so they are able to lay flat. I hooped my stabilizer, sprayed adhesive, pressed the boots onto the sticky stabilizer and held them in my hand as they stitched out. Easy peasy.

A few more items I've done in the last week or so...

I did my first craft fair over the post-Thanksgiving weekend and experimented with a fellow vendor's pop up tent. I embroidered her business name across the tent. Turned out great!

This is the embroidery part of a sash for a wedding dress I'm making. The top will be the waistband front center, and the two lower designs will be on the end of the tails hanging from the bow. I added in the bride/groom initials to one side and the wedding date to the other. In case you hadn't guessed, their wedding is going to be a steampunk/victorian theme.
