Ruth,
I've tried that toilet paper and soap thing myself and I don't care for
it at all! It's hard as Heck to keep the bar of soap in the hoop while sewing
and the toilet paper is ultimately rendered too scratchy...
I think you understand my sense of humor by now.

Sharon showed me a new idea as far as hooping. She taught me how to
emroidery toilet paper and how to embroidery on soap. It's fun, try it, you'll
like it.

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,

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
