I've often been asked to repeat this lesson using Embird Software. It was originally written (with permission) in February 2000 for Viking's Embroidery Shop software. I think you'll find it to be a much easier split in Embird!

This design is no longer available. If you wish to purchase the lesson you must already have the design in your collection.
