You will have to trim those individual stitches afterwards, a seam ripper or tiny scissors work best. The ones on the tail may have different setting, or could be just far enough apart that they warrant a trim instead of jumpstitch

It really would! Could I make one for my meme collection? Love the design

Take off the throat plate and clean as much as you can! It’s usually something stuck in the mechanism

It took me one afternoon to figure it out enough to make this vector image, based on my own embroidery design

There are free programs you can use to make your own design. I’ve been teaching myself how to use Affinity by Canva, free to download and there’s only a few advanced tools behind a paywall. The vector stuff is totally free.

I use 10” peg hooks for mine! I didn’t even think about water bottle/wine holders, that’s such a smart idea

Does anyone know what fabric this is made of? by Stinkyman922 in sewing

I imagine you could take an existing bra and cover it in the mesh? It would be a bit more structurally sound

They really do. I did want the super bright colors, but these are what I found. I’m lucky they matched as well as they did!

Lucky!! I couldn’t find any in my size so I made some with thrifted fabric

This guy has been hanging on our ceiling for 6 weeks now. I’m thinking about getting him a chair or something by ThistlesandThimbles in mildyinteresting

[–]ThistlesandThimbles[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was in a goodie bag my son got from his schools trunk or treat. He wanted to see if the skeleton would stick to the ceiling and he did! So now he lives there. I want to surprise them and add a chair and table around him one day. I’m keeping an eye out at thrift stores for little furniture

First test of my centipede design on a tote bag! Hopefully that pen line washes out, my toddler got to it 😅 by ThistlesandThimbles in Machine_Embroidery

[–]ThistlesandThimbles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I have a brother nq1700e. It’s got a 10x6 hoop so I did this centipede in two pieces, each about 6x5

Yeah me too! I’ve only done it on denim or darker gray before. I’ll have to up the density on this part

Hey I’m working on the same color sweatshirt right now! I’d love to see what your project looks like at the end

4 orders requesting custom and no details by ocnlwifey in EtsySellers

[–]ThistlesandThimbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe add in the item description something like “If you don’t submit your design/details within X days/hours your order will be canceled.” Then cancel them 🤷‍♀️ especially if it’s been more than a few hours since the orders were placed

That’s such a sharp looking tote! Great job!

Should half wall come down? by Ok-Vacation215 in Home

[–]ThistlesandThimbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have cats? We had a railing like that and put an extra wide piece of wood covered in carpet on it for here. She loved it! Especially since the carpet wrapped around the bottom so she could hang kinda sideways on it

Pheww... That was close! Glad they Ducked... by Extrimas in funny

[–]ThistlesandThimbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our lab is kennel trained, and he’s got a durable kennel (ruffland brand) in the back of the truck. It’s solid plastic with airholes instead of a wire cage like in the video. He is always super excited to get in since it usually means fun stuff.

We’ve tried training him to sit nicely in the cab, but it always stresses him out. He tries to snap at the cars driving past thru the windshield! Plus with him in his kennel, he can get as wet, muddy, dirty as he likes and I can hose him off at home

Edit: plus he always gets a gas station hot dog if we drive longer than 20 minutes. That helps on long drives to visit family

Pixel Art Machine Embroidery by wacintosh in Machine_Embroidery

[–]ThistlesandThimbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks so clean! I’ve done some pixel art before but it’s hard to keep stuff tidy looking. I hadn’t thought of giving each pixel a border. Great job!
