In the spring of 2023, no one at my Makerspace job knew how to work our embroidery machines. I wanted to use them so I spent about a month trying to learn how. Once I finally did learn, I felt like I should make a display item to show guests what they can do with that machine. I also designed an embroidery file of the face-- referencing a very simple design I found online. Using these two elements I made, I was able to sew the heart plushie you see on the left. I call him Mart.
