Experidery

I did some experimental embroidery over the weekend.  It's obvious I'm going to need to invest in some sore of program to resize, etc, some designs.  I have a pretty basic machine that will go up to 5x7, but there are a lot of designs I actually want a little smaller than 4x4 which is the smallest design most companies make.

See that dot there under the right thumb?  That's supposed to be the top center of my design, but by the time I got it hooped and pulled tight I was so off!  I'll need to practice more to be able to align more complicated designs.
This is a little better, but you can see here how this design would work better if it was a bit smaller!  It sort of folds over the end of the flap and ends up around the back.

All in due time.
