Quality Punch, the winner in our Embroidery Design of the Year Category, actually sent in three separate designs, each one better than the last! According to Quality Punch’s Ria Habib, the work shown here was originally the customer’s idea: “We had fun working on this design. We love embroidering designs like these—they bring a smile on everyone’s face.” In describing the digitizing process, Ria said one of the most challenging aspects of the job was its size, an impressive 16 inches across. “It would be a shame to sew out such a complex design and have some parts out of registration,” she said of the difficulties inherent in such a project. In all, the design employed no less than 12 colors, required a whopping 300,000 stitches and took six hours to stitch out. The end result, though, was as clean and vibrant as it is eye-catching. Great work! For more information, go to qualitypunch.net.
