The only thing my husband requested for purchasing my great embroidery maching was that I create customized towels for our lake-house. This was it. I've finished 6 towels in all with about 8 more to go.
This was my first time using digitizer - a feature of the professional version of 3D - Embroidery. We created a photo of the actual lake house in digitizer to sew. That was fun, but not nearly as intuitive as I had hoped. It took about 6 hours just to get the design right and it was still too dense for the fabric. Sewing was hard. Good quality towels have a huge pile and with the dense design I had needles breaking and the pile getting caught in the plate of the machine all the time. They took about 1 hour per towel to embroider, but you had to stay on constant alert to watch for problems. All in all it wasn't a fun project, but I am very glad that I did it.
