Hi Sandra,
I do saddle "pads" a lot. For some reason nobody else wants to do them. I
simply hoop a stabilizer (preferably cut away) on my larger rectangle hoop.
Then I mark the spot on the pad and safety pin it to the stabilizer making sure
not to pin where it will sew. I usually sew the design upside down so the bulk
of the padding is hanging outside the machine. I raise my "presser foot" all
the way up, just like hats and use a regular #11 Ballpoint needle you may need
more underlay to "smush" the quilting down under the design. I'm getting lots
of calls right now to do these for Christmas gifts. I'm charging $15 for a
monogram and they supply the pad. So far, nobody has batted an eye at the
price. Maybe I should charge more? It takes me about 10 minutes total time. The
pads I do are no more that a stiff quilted fabric.

Hi everybody. I have a customer that wants saddle blankets embroidered-YIKES!
I'm just getting my feet wet, and have only worked on simple things like Tee
shirts. Can you do saddle blankets on an Amaya? I would be working with a
Dakota design and probably adding lettering for names. Any suggestions on
material thickness setting, type needle, lettering size, etc.? How the heck
would you hoop the blanket? I'm concerned that it would be too thick to fit in
my hoops.
Thanks in advance,
Sandra Walker
