Hi everyone, these were a couple of last minute gifts I wanted to make and I wanted to use a font that I had in my embrilliance essentials software.
I also wanted to stitch both designs in the same hoop to save on stabiliser and use the features on my Brother Innovis V5LE sewing/embroidery machine to position the names, once I had put the sewn project in my hoop.
As I had not used EE for some time, I saved the names incorrectly together in one file, once I tried to position and stitch out my first name I realised what I had done, but I left the mistake in and just went back into EE and saved the names as two separate files. I did get the positioning of the first name a little to low, but fine tuned my positioning for the second name. They turned out ok in the end.
I just need to make some nice packaging and a card now to go with them.
This does show though, if you don't use something for a while you forget how to use it, so In 2023 I am going to try and use EE and my V5LE more.
I have shown how to make these key rings on my youtube channel before but I usually just make them from one piece of pattern fabric, I wanted to include plain fabric for these so that my machine embroidery names would stand out.
I remade the one for Sue and made another for Jane, I also made the plain fabric smaller so that some of the pattern fabric shows as well.
I got the positioning perfect on these without having a camera in my way!
