Sewing Machine Hanger

When I was at Warwick recently, we visited a new patchwork shop - Sew Pretty - and amongst the treasures, we saw a Sewing Machine hanging....It was a machine embroidery design...
I googled it when I got home  . ..and . . .it was on special...so of course I bought it...and decided to "whip one up". . .LOL. . .If you know anything about machine embroidery projects...you don't whip them up...maybe if you have been doing it for years . . but that is not me
When you load the design - it says 103 minutes. . . well, that doesn't take into account trimming fabrics, changing threads etc. . . .lets say it took 5 - 6 hours...

And, also - don't believe the story that you can do either things while its stitching away - firstly - each bit only takes a few minutes, then you need to trim or change the thread....and secondly, the minute you leave the machine the thread will break or something else will go wrong...well strictly speaking that is not true . . . .but you get the idea.
It is possible to listen to books though.


The design comes complete with some dingle dangles underneath -
scissors, thimble and a reel of thread, but I didn't want them.
its from Designs by JuJu in case you are tempted.

Such a cute project. I've stitched several patterns from Designs by JuJu, back when I still had my embroidery machine. You are right, you cannot step away from the machine or do other things while it is stitching.

there is a lot of detail in that..... not a quickie project

So cute. You did a fabulous job of it. However, you can’t tempt me with machine embroidery. I already have more than enough on my plate. LOL
