A number of my T shirts have seen better days, so I decided to cheer them up with some machine embroidery.
I hooped up heavy washaway and then carefully placed the T shirt in place on the top. I do not hoop up the T shirt. Making sure the excess T shirt is out of the way I carefully hold it in place while the pattern sews out. I find I get less wrinkles and puckers using this method, but I do have to be careful of my fingers!
I adore the frog design and was tempted to use it on all three T shirts.

Deremores offered me a 15% off coupon as I had not ordered from them in a while... who can resist a tempting offer... not me! So I ordered 13 balls of different coloured Stylecraft DK Special which meant I got free delivery plus the 15% off. I only ordered them on Saturday and they arrived Monday, if only everyone offered such a good service. I have a project in mind for these lovely colours, but must complete my silver project and keep upto date with my Lily Pond CAL before I start anything else.

I had an embroidery machine but got rid of it as I couldn't get the hooping right and the puckers drove me mad. I now just free motion embroider but I wish I had of known about the 'no hoop' method!
