Embroidered FSL Hearts

These designs are from Designs by JuJu. I saw a fantastic deal on their website that if you spend $20 you got 16 designs free (most of these were sets, so multiple designs). I had seen these hearts and thought they would be nice, but then had to try and spend $20 to get the offer. I thought this would be easy, this design set of 4 was already reduced from $20 to $6, so I only needed to select 3 more to pass $20! However, be warned, you can lose a day looking at embroidery designs and reducing down to the ones you really want. I ended up adding loads to my basket, and thought I would reduce down at the end. But when I looked at my basket, the $6 ones were reduced even further to $1.50 due to a multi-buy offer!! I then had to pick even more to get to $20!! I ended up picking 16 design sets for $20, and then got 16 more free!! Should keep me going for a while. I stocked up with Easter and Spring designs as well as some for next Christmas!!!

I have these hearts stitching out as I type. The first one I did I picked the second heart design but with 2 colours. The design itself should take 22 minutes, but with multiple colour changes it took much longer.

The next one I chose a single colour, but for some reason the thread snapped and the machine didn’t stop and tell me. I couldn’t quite see where it had stopped to set it going in the right place again… I tried, but then the needle snapped (~13,000 stitches into a 15,000 stitch design – not happy).

I scrapped that one, and started again, but mustn’t have tightened the needle up enough – cue a bent needle this time, and stabiliser pulled from the frame!
