Sandra,
I can't imagine sewing something like that. Be sure to remove the horse
before you try!! You would simply have to decide whether or not you think
you could hoop it - and get it to stay hooped. Hooping crazy things like
that can be a science in and of itself. I've even seen some embroidery
companies put on their outside sign,... "if we can hoop it, we can
embroidery it". Odd I thought because most customers don't have a clue what
"hooping" is. If you are creative, you might invent a new way to hoop
something thick like a horse blanket. Just be careful not to damage your
machine. I once had to tell a customer that I wouldn't be able to embroider
her son's baseball glove unless she let me disassemble it first. She chose
to do something else.
If you are able to get it hooped, use a sharp, 80/12 needle and slow the
machine down a bit. I also agree with Ms Beverly on the topping. You
probably won't need backing because if the blanket is woven that tight, I
would imagine it's rather stable and stretchy in the least. Although using
backing wouldn't hurt, it would only require a slightly higher material
thickness.

Hi Sandra,
My daughter and I ride, we embroider our Hay bags and horse blankets,
their pretty thick, but the only saddle pad i know you might could do would
be the navajo type. Make sure you tell the customer you would try, but
can't be responsible if it doesn't work out. Some of those pads are tightly
woven, those would probably work, you'll need to use topping though.
Best Regards,

Subject: saddle blankets?
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
