1. Do not choose leatherette as your fabric.
2. Do not attempt to sew curves with leatherette.
3. Do not be surprised at how difficult it is to manipulate said leatherette through sewing machine.
4. Do not attempt to topstitch leatherette.
5. Do not show pictures of said leatherette cover to your sewing friends.
5. Scrub number 5, everyone needs a laugh
I'd even chosen the wrong hoop (a 6" when I meant to use the 8" hoop), but I'd wrestled the fabric into place with lots of 505 glue, so I wasn't taking it off that hoop, and instead had to reduce the size of the embroidery design. (Two or three trips back and forth between the computer and embroidery machine, usb stick clutched in hot little hand.)
Any way, it covers the machine...
