This past week I did not get a lot done. I was hosting July 4th at my place so I was busy cooking and cleaning and cooking and cleaning..... I survived - thank you Lord!
I did get some embroidery work completed. A young lady saw some of my previous sewing and embroidery work and asked if could I put her husband's "logo" on his lab coat. We talked about a couple of options and she decided on embroidery.
I believe we started talking about this I believe sometime in April of this year and late last night I was able to complete the 5 lab coats I was given.
When she gave me the lab coats I had her position the approved stitch out exactly where she wanted and I pinned it in place. When I got home I took measurements of the placement to ensure I could replicate it on the other lab coats.
The software I used to do the digitizing was Artistic Premium and I absolutely love it because it made my job of digitizing so easy. I was able to pull the file in and make some adjustments requested by the customer and get it done rather quickly. I stitched the embroidery on Josephine (Janome Memory Craft 15000). I used polyester embroidery thread from Metro Embroidery and Inspira Fast & Easy Tear-A-Way stabilizer.
I believe it took less than 5 minutes for the stitching. The hooping was a different story. I wanted to ensure the embroidery was in the right place and straight so it took much much longer to hoop. I know on the 2nd picture above it doesn't look straight because of the angle but it is straight.

How I Did It
I asked her for the logo as an svg (scalable vector graphics) file. I have played with digitizing enough to know you need good clean artwork and svg files makes things go a lot smoother. I did 4 or 5 test stitch outs before I got final approval of the design.When she gave me the lab coats I had her position the approved stitch out exactly where she wanted and I pinned it in place.
