A repository of good embroideries indeed! Almost all the free patterns are perfectly suitable for 4×4 embroidery hoops. The information and tutorial on endless hoop embroidery designs would be helpful here.

Check out her collection at Murphy’s Designs. These are basically redwork and machine embroidery cross stitch designs and can be used in the Endless Hoop or any hoop that is 5×7 inch (130 x 180 mm) or larger. All the designs are available in the zip file which would contain the following formats – ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PES, PHC, VIP, XXX. The information on machine embroidery would come in handy here.

Her collections are categorised under various folders numerically ordered. Endless hoop embroidery designs are perfect for any running pattern – bedsheets, table napkins, frocks, curtains and other homely items. The sunflower and strawberry endless designs are pretty. The part that is circled in the image next to this post – is the portion that will be repeated again and again till you reach the end of the cloth – and hence the name ‘endless’. So once you master this part, the design becomes repetitive and simple to do.

The same is available at SecretsOf.com – (click on “Everything for Embroidery” — Designs — Designers G-Z — Threads That Bind Us).

Ms. Larisa Porter has had a variety of interests like singing, playing the guitar and designing web graphics. Her love for arts resulted in a fruitful embroidery business which combined her love for quilting and designing. Her biggest accomplishments stem from watching her pencil drawings turn into colorful designs as her embroidery machine stitches them out.

Just recently, Larisa devised a ‘Piece in the Hoop’ (which is part of the master tutorial “Threads That Bind Us”) with an embroidery design – Once finished, we will end up with a complete, pieced quilt block, just like the one beside this post. One can follow the very detailed, pictorial instructions to learn how to ‘Piece in your Hoop’ by using the Crazy Patch Block design included. Once mastered, try out the other ‘Piece in the Hoop’ embroidery designs given in the tutorial. Feel free to give me your comments on these!
