Eye-catching Embroidery Designs

I am a digitizer of designs for machine embroidery

. Most people dont know what that means. But, if you have a passion for machine embroidery, you know exactly what it means. If Im lucky, you also like what I do. I know that I love what Im doing, so others enjoying it as well is simply the best feeling in the world!

It was ten years ago that I finally broke down and got my first embroidery machine. Prior to that, I felt that I had little use for one and even less time to devote to it. Oh, I quickly changed my tune. My quilting passion took the back seat as I became quickly devoted to the world of machine embroidery. It was not long after that I decided I wanted to try my hand at creating my own designs, and thats when I was hooked for life.

Being a digitizer, and working for myself, isnt glamorous or anything like that. I get up, have some coffee, take care of the pets and then wander to my computer. If Im working on a set of designs, I just take up where I left off. If I dont have current work going on, I can spend an entire day doing trial designs to see which direction I want to go. Sometimes Im lucky and find my way instantly. Other times, I end up with a handful of various designs with no rhyme or reason between them. But, even this gives me a handful of options for new sets of embroidery designs . Nothing is wasted.

One problem I run into as a designer is that I dont know what it is that others look for in the machine embroidery designs they want. I like redwork and lacy designs first, and then I prefer those with a full-fill look and good outlines. Not everyone likes these. I can only design what I like, so there may be a disconnect between my designs and those in need of them. For the most part, I simply follow the rule of doing what I know.

Because I am also a creative stitcher, I digitize designs thinking of the projects they will be used in. Most of my sets come with a free pattern. This is the part I truly love because it gives me the opportunity to teach! Of course, problems can arise if my instructions include specific embroidery supplies that others may not have. So, I must try to use only those most common items. This is a challenge at times, but a challenge is exactly what I need to keep my career exciting.

On the rare occasion that I get together with other digitizers, one of our common issues is that we dont know what our followers would like most. More lace? Less flowers? In-depth instructions for basic techniques? We really dont know unless someone contacts us to tell us what they would like. Some people dont want to seem like they are complaining and so dont contact us. Believe me, as long as the comments are respectful, they can complain as much as they want! Of course, suggestions are even more helpful!

So, if you have a passion for machine embroidery designs, why not give your favorite designers a call or an email to tell them how you feel about their designs. If theres something youre looking for and have been unable to find, tell them so! While we are all highly creative, we run out of ideas all the time.

Help us to help you and well all be happily stitching!
