Thanks to Cathy for donating this very large roll of tearaway stabiliser - bound to be popular with all the machine embroidery enthusiasts in our space.
It's lighter than the stabiliser we've been using so far, so probably good for more more delicate fabrics.

I lost thread chicken.

Twice.

On the same color.

Please clap.

Gonna have a little moment here: first draft of a flying squirrel in-the-hoop plushie (on the embroidery machine that made it, because my light box is full of junk).

Most of the commentary is going to be in the alt text (as usual) so I don't fill your TL with a wall of nonsense about pattern drafting.

TL;DR: it's definitely just a first draft.

Did I just shovel almost every size into my cart?

Reader, you know I did.

(I was just thinking the other day I should make dice trays again...)

I digitize emoji for machine embroidery in my spare time and, uh, might have gotten carried away with this one.

Oooooh, has added "lettering to path" as a new tool. No more hand placing letters!

(they updated some other cool toys too, but this one caught my fancy first)

A dozen donuts!

(Apparently "an embroiderer's dozen" is sixteen because I still need to make vanilla with chocolate frosting.)

Not sure cleaning up all the striped-flag files and putting them out for free was the best use of my time (I have like eight plush-charm designs I'm supposed to have taken tutorial pictures of by now) but it's the use I made of my time, so there.

There's now 3- to 8-stripe flags, so anything from 🇦🇲 to 🇾🇪 and 🏳️‍🌈 and 🏳️‍⚧️ and all the ones that are missing from Unicode up to Philly Pride.

Saw this sentiment in a cutting-machine file, had to drop an Earth Day embroidery-machine design freebie in my :kofi: shop: ko-fi.com/s/7c8c57fecd

(don't usually drop un-tested designs but (1) this one is pretty easy and the alphabet, at least, is well-tested and (2) the embroidery machine is staged to load in the car though (2a) *technically* I could plug it back in...)

Heutiges Werk 🦊 Der Frottee war ein Versuch. Gefällt mir nicht so gut. Werde beim nächsten Anlauf dann doch eher Plüsch nehmen.

J'ai trouvé de la ressource, je partage.
UniGE a fait un wiki assez bien détaillé sur leur méthode pour faire des patches avec inkstitch
C'est en anglais.

Haven't made many dragons lately so haven't had any wing-embroidery shots. This one's a one-off, so you get to see my messy process.

The usual shots are 2-4 wing embroideries because I do multiple dragons at a time to fill a hoop. If I do one dragon at a time I can still fill the hoop, but the problem is that the dragon body gets "hooped" three separate times. So I break the rule and tear it out, compromising the tension on the stabilizer. It's... just fine, turns out.

It's a second Friday so the seal design has dropped on my Ko-Fi on schedule.

Only one of the pictures in the instructions involves a moving box. 😆

Does anyone make crafts of any kind related to Judaism? I have barely seen anything. I would love to meet you. Below is a wall hanging I made for a friend for Rosh Hashana. The first is covered in cat hair and in the second, my husband is helpfully holding it upside down.

In other news, I have finally discovered a use for "dimple" minky (which, annoyingly, is 90% of what is in local stores because I guess it's more popular than plain for baby blankets).
