It's machine embroidery, so if thumb stabbing was to occur I'd have to have done something fairly wrong. It's mostly digital drawing in an embroidery software (which is a learning curve indeed) and then watching to see if the thread snags or snaps (or you accidentally have the garment folded and it embroiders itself together ).
Other than that, I'm not super creative. I do make pipe organ covers of different kinds of music on YouTube. Movies, TV shows, video games, pop songs, or anything else that takes my fancy (or is requested). You can check them out here if you'd like: www.youtube.com/c/GHutchOrgan
What about yourselves Cinnamon, shortcake, and Veledsier: are you creative types?
