An embroidery buddy is a stuffed animal that allows you to remove the stuffing so that you can personalize it.

Ok, thanks Bernice – and poodles. LOL. I want a poodle herd. I have some of that glue too. I haven’t started the project yet though.

No I used the E6000 tube glue.
Thanks for the ideas. I’m finishing up a couple of quilt blocks and then I’ll take a closer look to see how much of the fabric I can hoop. So you both think embroidery would be better than trying decorative stitches?
Bernice did you use Aleene’s fabric glue for the organza? Cas
You could embroider on organza and the cut very close around the design and then glue them anywhere you want.
I've done embroidery on car seats commercially. Easiest place is the back head rest. You need to take into account how much the area will be stretched to fit over the seat. Use a single color for,maximum effect. Mary E

I'm sorry that there have been problems with embroidering on the stuffed critters. So frustrating when it doesn't go as planned. :-(
A little off topic, but hopefully some levity... :-) I did chuckle when I read about the granddaughter playing with the monkey's components rather than monkey. It brought back the memories of the stuffed teddy bear I'd made for my nephew. The bear was made from a really nice, soft, plush, fake fur. The body went together well, and the head was finished, and really cute. I was tickled. But for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get the head to attach to the body and stay upright. Since I my sister and nephew were going to be visiting with our Mom and Dad, and I was visiting, too, I took the two parts. My sister was a whiz at the sewing machine, so I thought she'd have a fix for the problem. When my nephew saw the "bear" he loved it (I stitched the "neck" closed so the stuffing wouldn't escape). He never did care that the bear, which got named Headless, had no head. It was very soft and cuddly. My sister did balk, however, when he started kindergarden and wanted to take the bear for show and tell! The nephew turned 31 this year, a college grad with really good job and darling bride. His experience with a bear without a head hasn't seemed to do him any long-term damage. Tee hee. Sent from my iPad

I got it figured out how to do it directly from the machine and it is easier…I don’t do much lettering so I am way out of practice!!

Don’t forget the dark chocolate! It’s part of sewing methodology! Cas
I wasn't sure if I should throw the elephant or the machine out the window, so I turned the machine off, closed the door, and had a glass of wine.

Scant 1/4"
cas <cassweet@...>
Recently we were discussing a way to sew with the needle centered. I posted a pic of one method. I drew a red line showing how I line up the fabric. The metal seam guide is metallic and there is a line on your needle plate to help you position it.

Re: Embroider Buddy on Janome15000
Carole Hollmann
Update-- Thanks to all of you who gave me suggestions on the Embroider Buddy elephant. Mine does have removable "pods" in the body and head. I rotated the elephant (physically) so the head, trunk, and giant ears were on the left. I used pins, tape, and clips and the elephant was placed well on the hoop. Yay! I also started from scratch and made the overall lettering design smaller so it was about a 4-inch square. I got about halfway through the embroidery when the tension looked wrong (too much white bobbin thread on top). When it finished that color, I retreaded, put in a new needle, checked and all the usual things. Now it won't sew at all. It just blobs up (technical term?). I wasn't sure if I should throw the elephant or the machine out the window, so I turned the machine off, closed the door, and had a glass of wine. The joys of sewing ... Carole Sent from my iPhone

Vertical lettering
Barb Engvall
I need to do some vertical lettering where the name is reading vertically. Is there an easier way to do this: machine is the 15000. Used Horizon Link Suite, EmbLinkTool. Chose hoop, monogram, and then put each letter in individually, spacing them out and turning them to fit. Used FA Hoop. Very tedious but it got the job done but since I have a dozen names to do I'm hoping there is a more simple way! Thanks!

Re: DO NOT TRIM, part 2
Donna Morton
In the Set menu for embroidery you can turn off the cut at the end of a
colour change/end. See page 128 in your manual. It will still do a
tie off but you can leave long thread tails to bury in the quilt.

Carole, At some point in time or other, I think we all get into something that we say, “How did this happen to me?”
I’m not sure how you can do this embroidery without taking your elephant apart, unless you try to use the wee hoop, which is 100 X 40 mm. However, this still may be awkward to get lined up so that all is straight. You could try to use the AcuSetter APP as it really works well for lining things up so that they sew straight. However, you need your iPad, design in the 15000 and the picture taking that needs to be done with this APP. It really sounds more difficult that it is. I watched a video done by Pocono Sew and Vac some time ago. Here is the link to it: I also found when I tried this that the iPad does a good job even though it is very difficult to hold it steady, it did a very good job. I thought that it would be way off, as I wasn’t able to hold my iPad as steady as I’d like - it worked really well. Your only limitation is the size of the hoop and how much the design can be rotated and still fit. You might even be able to use the SQ14 hoop or the RE18 hoop using this method as the precision of hoop placement isn’t the be all when using the APP. Cheryl - Saskatoon

I bought the monkey for my granddaughter. It's one where you can pull the

stuffing ball out of the head so you can embroider it without problem. She takes out and plays with the head and belly stuffing balls and ignores the monkey. That's life with grandkids. Is there any place you can remove the stitching, remove the stuffing, then stitch it back up later? I'd be frustrated trying to work around the head. MarieD

The problem is not what to do to stabilize or
attach to stabilizer, the problem is the head hits the machine.
When I had this problem I even lowered the design, didn't work.
When I turned the design to the left and placed the bear with the
head to the left, all was fine. There are new ones where you can
remove the stuffing from the head as well as the stomach,
wonderful, Claire S.
