    Hey Sarah,
    are u going to digitize the 3 small hearts that are in 2 of the blocks side by side so they can be stitched out on the mega hoop?

    Hi Susan,
    It’s really easy to bring them into your machine to stitch out in the mega hoop. That way you can put which ever 3 hearts you want in there. There are dozens of different combinations. The instructions show how to mark the fabric. I am happy to show you how to load multiple designs into your machine.

    Thank you, Sarah.

    Any tips on using the Aurifil thread kit instead of RA thread, which is how the designs come up. I can convert to Aurifil, thanks to your Aurifil thread chart, but wondered if I need more Aurifil colors. VBG!

    Hi Eileen!
    The colors in the designs as they are digitized won’t look too nice!!! I did all the Silk Hearts using the 12 colors from the AURIfil kit – this is where you get to personalize th quilt. Just use the colors as you feel inspired :-) The purple is best left on the dark colored silks. The vari pink shows quite a bit of white – it’s great for candlewicking. The lime green and turquoise will “pop” any of the yellow, orange, reds, pinks silk. The red, magenta and fuchsia all look great together – especially where there are two fills overlapped, or alternating candlewicking.
    Hope this helps!
    Sarah :-)

    I agree with Eileen a thread chart would be great since the fabric and thread is a kit. Maybe you could sell the thread chart as a download so that we can be guaranteed the same great result. I would pay a few extra bucks to take the brain work out of the thread color decision especially when spending close to $200 on the fabric and thread kit. Your color combinations are one of your best features that attracts me to your designs. Also, anyway to digitize the big hearts so that they can be done on the 730 in multiple hoopings?
    Thanks,
    Susan
