Thank you for staying home and joining in!

We’ve seen you adding the #Embrilliance and #StayStrongStitchOn hashtags on your posts, and we couldn’t be more proud of all you’ve made!  We are even more excited to seeing YOU create your own design layouts and original designs during this time!

Our friend Jesse Hagen created this uplifting sunshine design using StitchArtist and shared it in our StitchArtist Digitizing Fans group.  She was gracious enough to allow us to share it with everyone, and we hope that you enjoy it!

A few minutes of playtime

After a crazy month of getting my kid resettled after her abrupt departure from her Peace Corps location, I finally have a moment to play on my machines (computer and embroidery). My first test sew – might change the purple to a solid thread.
I used Exotic as the font (Font Collection 2) and found it to be perfect as a straight line text rather than with a curve. I used a light textured fill on top of a solid fill on bottom. The variegated thread from the bottom peeks through the top – I like the results.
Thank you so much for sharing, Jesse!!

The design is provided in our native .BE format, enabling you to save a stitch file for any embroidery machine. If you aren’t already an Embrilliance owner, we provide a free method to use our software called Express Mode that will not only allow you to use any of the wonderful free designs found in our project blog, but also enables you to install and create basic text treatments with fonts distributed in our popular .BX format produced by many embroidery design creators.
