Embroidered Postcards Swaps

The first postcards on this page are ones that I embroidered between 2008 & the mid 2000's on my Bernina 200.  The last postcards pictured were also embroidered on my B200 before I traded it in in Dec 2024 after 19 years of faithful service on the new Bernina 990.  I'll miss it but the new B990 looks to be an awesome sewing/embroidery machine.

I would pick the fabric to embroider on and stabilize it in the medium, or large hoop.  Sometimes it seemed stabilized well but then, when I would release the fabric from the hoop  it wasn't always great. I would iron it onto pellon 71 & then freemotion quilt the postcard which usually took care of the wrinkles/non flat areas.
