Test stitch-out on a new embroidery pattern

 Hello, everyone.

I found a really cute pattern for machine embroidery and bought it. Then began the study of how to use it.

I decided to both try it out and try out using faux suede for the fabric.

I like the way the colors show up on the black. I don't think that faux suede is the right fabric for the project I'm thinking of, though. 

This one does call for several different shades of red. But the little bird is just pretty.
