QP Web Embroidery Gram
April 2008
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to get some projects embroidered for the house this summer. One of my customers found a great nautical bluework design pack on Embroidery Take Out and this is the table runner I made up from it
It takes longer to hoop your fabric than it does for the machine to stitch it out!
We are offering a kit that includes the instructions, all the fabrics needed for the table runner including the backing & binding and a CD with 20 nautical bluework designs on it (click here to see all the designs) that includes all the major formats - ART, PES, JEF, DST, EXP, HUS, & a few others, contact me if you have questions. Click here for the kit.
Beatrix Potter Machine Embroidery Designs!Dakota Collectibles' Beatrix Potter embroidery design collection features 20 characters taken from some of the delightful tales written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, including The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, and The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck. The designs are 4" x 4", meaning they can be sewn on almost every embroidery machine (any machine that has a 4" x 4" hoop or larger). The designs are written in .art, .cnd, .csd, .dst, .exp, .hus, .jef, .ofm, .pcs, .pes, and .sew on a CD.

Embroider something!
November 2007
Hi everyone,
Are you embroidering like crazy for the holidays? Full of ideas for embroidered gifts & decorations? No? Hmmm, here are some ideas to get you jump started. I will spare you the shock I received when I clicked on a website yesterday and the banner across the top blasted out how many days are left until Christmas - lets just put it this way, there were a whole lot less than I thought!
Machine Embroidery Design of the Month is the Little Ones. 
Six little angels decorate for the holidays and one has a piece of coal! This 27" x 36" wall hanging is a perfect gift for a friend or for yourself! Check out the angel putting a lump of coal into the stocking! The CD includes six 4" x 4" embroidery designs in ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PES, SHV, & XXX formats. Cost is $20.25 for the CD and the pattern. Click here to order.
We still have a few of last month's featured embroidery design pack. Have you seen the Christmas Cards from Dakota Collectables? 
We have a display of the stitched out designs in the shop and about six of these design packs left at $39.99. This was a club promotion & I can't order any more so when these are gone, they are gone at this great price. Click here to order.
