Well, that was me this week. My uncle stopped by with an golf bag to embroider for one of his co-workers that is retiring. When I saw the golf bag my throat knotted up. He wanted a large logo embroidered on the side of the bag. Which, generally, if you have read my previous blog post on "embroidering hard to hoop items" you would know that I use Fast Frames and sticky back stabilizer to assist me.
Unfortunately, this gold bag was going to stretch my limits. It was a hard case! How am I supposed to get that onto my machine. Granted, I do have a large machine, and I can fit large and bulky items on it. But, this. This was going to really give me a run for my money. Speaking of, because I am embroidering it for my uncle I am not charging him for the time and effort, just the stabilizer and thread.
So, today is the day that he is coming by to pick it up. I still haven't touched it yet, because it is a scary project. Ha. And right before he left my house he said, "this bag was the only one, so don't mess up". Um...Thanks.
I prepare my sticky back on my fast frame and pick up this giant hard case golf bag to hook up to my machine...and as I start to unzip the side pocket a little more I quickly realize that the whole side comes right off the case. I start giggling and almost instantaneously my nerves calm and I am ready to work!
That was a God thing, seriously. I would have had to of held that bag up on my machine for 1 hour (without any hiccups). My arms would have been so exhausted to say the least, But. think about it. How much time I would have wasted just holding a bag up! A heavy bag. A LOT!
So, Cheers to me for finding out that the side pocket comes off before I have held the golf bag up for almost an hour!
Until next time!
