Beautiful. You are an inspiration.... I need to learn. My husband learned on our 630E and I haven't even tried! It's the hooping that scares me! Anyway, you are doing GREAT! Keep up the good work.

Those are great! I just upgraded from a 440QEE to a 630E. I'm going to have to look into how to make bookmarks, those are great gifts.

Did your pattern come built in?

These are stunning. I hope that you are enjoying your new embroidery machine. I have never used round hoops either. I have the Brother PR-600 myself and a couple of singers that embroider as well but I use my six needle a lot more, it helps save a ton of time.

twistedstitcher, I can't remember where I got the design from, but I have had it awhile.

ladymyste, no it is not a builtin design. Your machine is very much like mine.

Here's how I make bookmarks... hoop WSS (water soluable stabilizer) and run the placement stitch for the applique. Then place 1 layer of ultrafirm stabilizer on top of the placement line, and 1 layer of sprayed (I use 505) fabric on top of that, and run the placement line again to hold the fabric in place. Then emb the design. After that, take the hoop off your machine DO NOT UNHOOP. Turn it over and place 1 layer of sprayed fabric on the placement line and put your hoop back on your machine. Run the placement line again, remove from machine again (still don't unhoop) and trim fabric and ultrafirm on both sides. Return to machine and run the tac down stitch and satin stitch. Then remove from hoop.

Thanks for the info. I haven't gone through all the emrboidery stitches on my machine yet so I wasn't sure how much of a difference in designs there was between the 630 & 640.

I have a ton of designs that I downloaded when I had my 440 that would work great for this.

Thanks again.

Wow, gorgeous!

At first I thought they were wall hangings :lol:

careful not to lose those bookmarks, I'm always misplacing, dropping or losing mine. Put a longggggg chain and lock on them so that they don't walk away, :shock:
