Just for giggles, here are a bunch of test stitches for badges. I quickly learned that the only way I was going to get the most out of my first embroidery machine was to learn to digitize. That led to making merit badges out of old blue jeans. And that meant that I had to do a lot of drafts and test runs. This is a silly series of tests. Most of which made it onto the badge roster.

This is so cool!
did you digitize drawings you had made, or were these files you found?
Perhaps once I lose my fear of the sewing machine and learn to use that, I might be brave enough to try out the embroidery machine at the library

I can do that!
These are all sketches (pencil or digital) that I have made and then digitized. The text ones take advantage of already digitized fonts but I occasionally digitize letters when I need to.
