Hi,
My name is Jackie. I am new to the forum and am excited about picking up ideas, etc. My question is in regards to a project I am doing for my daughters.
I have a Brother Snoopy machine which I am just learning to use. Since I bought it used, I’m reading a lot and asking a lot questions. I made the baptism gown for my girls from fabric I had left over from my wedding dress. Now that both of them have been baptised, I would like to embroider their names and the date of their baptism on the gown and have it preserved. My problem is that I would like to use the script font that is on the machine and use the smallest letter. But, I am not getting a great result. I’ve tried different stabilizers (both top and bottom) but it just doesn’t ‘pop.’
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jackie

what about embroidery the information on a piece of silk or satin ribbon 1 inch wide and sew that ribbon into the gowns. you could keep trying till you get it perfect with no danger of hurting their gowns. you could even add a small ribbon rose or seed pearls to the ribbon to snazz it up.
Thanks! That's a great idea that I hadn't considered. I've actually even thought I might do it by hand. Either way, a ribbon embellishment would be a great idea! Jackie
