The Sewing Mom

I am under a bit of pressure to finish my current project and so, while I am taking pictures as I go, I don’t yet have time to download them. I’ll try to get all of the pictures posted in the next few days.

I am the team manager for a 6th grade Destination Imagination team and we are headed to our first tournament this coming Saturday. I got it in my head to embroider a t-shirt for each of the 6 girls with their team name and individual name, as well as some graphics that I found that matched their theme. I am very excited about the project, but I haven’t used the embroidery tool on my machine in almost a year and so I am having to remember how to do things.

I did re-take the free embroidery class last week offered by the machine manufacturer and am taking the software class later this week (which I’ve never taken). I have to use the software to download the graphics and lettering onto a special card that gets inserted into my sewing machine. I also use the software for designing the lettering and anything else I want to do.

I have used the software in the past, but it’s been a long time and I feel it’s a bit quirky at times.

So, I have 6 shirts to get done. I put graphics on two of them yesterday and plan to get the graphics on the other 4 today. I still have to design the lettering, but once it’s done and downloaded, it shouldn’t take too long to get it onto the shirts. I’m doing the fronts first and if I don’t get to the backs, so be it.

Like I said, I’ll post pictures as soon as I have time to download them! Wish me luck in getting this project finished by Friday afternoon! (I might be starting my new job today, if so, that will take a big bite out of my available time.)
