When I saw the clip art from DiddyBag of some beautiful antique sewing machines I knew I must digitise at least one of them. To include all the detail I knew that the finished embroidery would have to be big so I created the machine alone to fit an 8 x 8 hoop with the floral designs each side fitting the 5 by 7 hoop. After a great deal of testing I decided against cutting away the machine for the floral work of fuchsias and roses. This will make it easier to position the floral sprays over each end of the machine, if you do the main embroidery in three hoopings. The colours of the machine are quite subtle and have been carefully chosen and blended. A hint of metallic thread inside the floral sprays and edging the blended scroll work brings the embroidery alive. The set now includes 3 split sections so the machine can be stitched out in a 5 by 7 hoop. A detailed PDF explains how to do this with my unique Outline alignment stitches.
