Last night, "Uncle Paul" came and stayed with us. Will and him went to an engagement party for Daron and Sarah. I stayed home with Parker and made him a new shirt. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the entire embroidering thing. It turns out that I was not stabalizing my projects correctly and this is why they never turned out very good. I have that under control now and my projects are turning out great! It has really become addicting. It has also become very expensive to learn how to use this machine. I have wasted so much money trying to figure it out and all it took was about 15 minutes in the fabric store, talking to a random person who embroiders, and now I know how to do it correctly. The manual that comes with the machine is not detailed at all and they just assume you already know how to use it. There are so many little tricks to making a perfectly embroidered object. Any how, here is a picture of the shirt I made for Parker and another one I made for a friend.

"Uncle Paul" comes to visit and new embroidery projects
