In the very simple design to the left I merely combined three copies of the sand dollar design from my "Seaside Memories" collection and arranged them arround the neckline of the blouse. I then used the automatic basting function to sew a running stitch around the entire design to secure the fabric to the stabilizer before the design was stitched out to make sure that the flimsy base fabric would not shift during the embroidery process. To see how this function and others work within Compositions project based embroidery software works you can now go to www.embroidery.com and download a free copy or order it at an introductory price of $149.99 at http://www.embroidery.com/product.asp?sid={88E142C8-EB52-458B-8B61-9EE1A618C3B6}&EFID=84&productsetid=95844&shopstop=1
