We won't tell that they don't wear shoes! OF COURSE you can do this. I was also going to recommend checking out www.daystyledesigns.com - I'm nearly sure I've seen a wood grain pattern on there.

So far, my rule of thumb has been "if for me, I'll try to do it...if it's a gift, out it goes to the longarmer". I think you won't be sorry......

I forgot to mention to you Karla...that when you do the micro stippling...reduce your stitch length, it will look smoother with the smaller stitch. If you leave the stitch length long, the result looks kind of jerky...or at least it does for me. :roll:

OO--thank you so much, sandpat... I can see why that would loko better--kind of like keeping it in proportion... I never would have figured that out on my own.

I get by with a little help from my friends. :-D
