Looks outstanding and I would say that you got the better part of the deal with the car. Now you even have her making Logo's for your shirts and jackets.

Looks good. How long does it take to do 1 patch?

Wow! Looks great. Glad my wife could help your wife out. Now I guess you will be like me. Buying T-shirts, jackets, etc for her to embroider.

Her machine allows one color at a time - so its about 30 seconds per color.. total time about 8 minutes (includes changing time)... i think 4 colors total... the red and orange are actually red just stiched in a different pattern...

i know its illegal to resell this stuff, but if we were to make this her business for other logos, etc, i would get her a machine that does 16 colors or so...

cool thing about the current machine, is she can put this logo on a cover, or jeans or even leather... its that strong...

It's more about aligning stuff, etc. It takes patience to run the thread through, different colors, etc.

Looks great! Just remember that there is "NO WHITE" on the emblem, look at your cars.
