In the words of my fave band, "IF I could, I would......"

Yeah, killer dragon. I keep going back just to look at it. I've been on a dragon kick lately, but I keep missing them, d'oh! I really like the look of embroidered dragons right now. Someone is gonna get a killer diaper, b/c you KNOW it is gonna look so much more cool irl.

Are her designs done by hand or machine? I can't imagine doing that by hand. It would be worth WAY more than $155.

ETA: Ok, looking at it again, there's no way that would ever be done by hand. Sooo, why is it so difficult to do? Don't you just put the thread colors on, choose your design, put the diaper fabric on the little stretcher thing, and push some buttons? I don't see the difficulty.

machine I believe Kathryn... but even by machine that dragon is likely to have taken at least 2 hours to stitch out (if not more)... a ton of stabilizer and who knows how many thread changes. Not fun

It was done on a embroidery machine. Not by hand. I am not sure if you have a embroidery machine, from your comments, I would think not. 40,000 stitch count took over 2 hours I would think. Lots of thread changes and embroidery thread is not cheap. Lots of stabilizers and a really good machine. Add that it is fleece and there is more trouble. It is not as easy as you think.

Wow, that is a long time. I thought the machines were a bit more advanced than that by now.

Oh yes...that would definitely take a LONG time to stitch out. The embroidery looks flawless too (and I know how hard that is!!)

In a second I would have bought it and am cranky I missed the end of the auction. It is amazing and totally worth it.

: Nah, I meant phish. But hey-phish covered "been caught stealin" like probably 5 or so times, back in 98. I saw two of 'em.

If I had the $$ I would have bought it in a heartbeat. It's a true piece of art, and the embroidery reallys is flawless. I don't know if it would get used either, probably hung somewhere I could see it often.

That diaper is gorgeous and from what I have heard, Christy's work is outstanding. Personally, I think it is a little rude to come on here a criticize how much someone else pays for a diaper that they obviously love and have no problem buying- no matter what the price is. I mean, no one would come on here and comment on "why would *anyone* ever only use cheap diapers like prefolds?" I'm not trying to be an ass, just wanted to point that out.

most home embroidery machines stitch about 600 stitches per minute. If that was all there was to it, it would be easy.. but when you add in time to stabilize, change thread, cut jump threads, etc... those big designs take FOREVER

OT. I'm not trying to be an ass here, but do you know why anyone would use pfs exclusively?

I would never, ever let DD wear it though. I would just sort of hang it on the wall and pet (with clean hands!) and admire it every time I passed.

I would also never mention it outside of MDC, because NO ONE else understands!

Here is a good explanation of exactly how machine embroidery works

Its not so much difficulty as it is time consuming and embroidery threads and stabilizers are expensive.

I'd pay that, oh yes, and definitely would let ds wear it. My dh and I have an agreement that the reason why dipes are good for collecting (and yes, it's a hobby) is because it is something useful. Lots of people collect things that have no real functional purpose (some of you, maybe?) ~ I'm not saying that's wrong, I just prefer to spend money on beautiful things that have a job to do ... and it's a bonus, knowing the money is going toward the family of a hard-working WAHM so she can raise her kids herself.
