As I type this, my embroidery machine is continuing on it's journey around the hem of 1694 era mans jacket. Think "Dangerous Liasons". The pattern is drafted from the book "Men's 17th & 18th Century Cotume, Cut & Fashion" by R.I. Davis. (This is an excellent resource) I have sized it to fit my good-son, Chris, who is this awesome young man who puts up with my silliness. :)
So below you can see the design work. This is my first major embroidery project with this machine and it's been a fairly good (vs bad) learning experience! I am using a Husqvarna Viking Ruby Deluxe machine, fabric that was designed for furniture, and Sulky 100% Viscose 04/3 thread (I love this thread - very little issue with fraying or breaking). Note: Use a light interlining when working on a running project - it will keep your fabric from warping.
