It’s well past time for a new freebie, but as I said in my last post, my usually reliable embroidery machine is at the repair shop, so I haven’t been able to test-stitch anything new.
But I do have a few new designs in the files that look OK and which I had intended to post. The only problem is that I haven’t been able to test-stitch them, and I really don’t like passing on untried designs. Yes, I’ve put them through the “auto-stitch” facility on my digitising software and they seem to be OK, but that doesn’t necessarily catch all possible problems
So – how’s your courage? Are you willing to try out something new and untested? Of course these SHOULD be OK – I would never pass on anything I thought was wrong. But there may well be occasional glitches – un-necessary thread jumps and things like that.
Anyway here are images of the designs – these are not taken from stitch-outs but are just images generated by the digitising software. You can IGNORE the colours on these images – that is, the black flowers and the grey leaves! That’s the fault of my printer – it’s still not quite right and is producing some VERY strange colours. Just use the colours that are mentioned on the .pes files – or be original and use your own choices
No, the leaves aren't supposed to be grey!
And no, the flowers aren't supposed to be black!
They’re both for the 4×4 inch (100 mm x 100 mm) hoop, and design 1 has one area of appliqué (the flower vase). Here is the first one in .pes v6, and here is the second one – both are in .pes v6
sometimes the computerglitches works in mysterious ways 😉 i usually take it as a chance to trust my imagination a little better for a while. hopefully your mashine is soon home and well and eager to work again!
Thanks so much for the embroidery flowers. I am doing some beading, and I have a nice strand of large black beads to knot. I think when I start embroidery again I will use that flower in black, it will coordinate nicely with the black beads. I will have to think over the other colors. Something bright will work for me. I think you are reading my mind.

Hi Mia, Thank you so much for the lovely flower designs. Hopefully, you will be able to get your machine back soon. We have spent the last couple of weeks trying to get ready to visit my sisters in OK and our grandchildren in TX.
Maybe they are going though a “goth” phase like so many teenagers are known for doing? Both designs look great, even with the oddball colors your printer chose to depict them in. But, please tell your printer, “Thanks for the suggestions,” but I’ll pass. I’ll be choosing other, slightly brighter and livelier colors when I stitch these out. Thanks for both of them; they are both very nice.
