Use these 12 designs to jazz up a little one's outfit. Most of the designs have a very low stitch count so will stitch up quickly! Create a matching set by adding the same design to a bib, burp pad, and a shirt.

Platinum Pearl
A reader asked:
I would like to make a "sayings" pillow for a baptism. Can you tell me the best way to machine embroider on satin?
Carol from Art In Stitches has a great solution:
There are different types and weights of satin, but one thing they all have in common is the very smooth top surface, which can make hooping something you will want to watch carefully. It can also show water spots, so avoid any stabilizer that is activated with water. Normally, with a slippery fabric an adhesive spray is an instant solution - but in this case, it should not be used - again, it may mark the fabric.
So what do you do? I recommend 2 layers of a medium weight tear away stabilizer, and put one at a different angle than the other. Now, to protect the finish of the fabric, lay a piece of tissue paper on top of the fabric before you hoop. You will need to cut out a window in the tissue after you hoop it, but the tissue will help prevent hoop marks on the fabric.
Use a smaller ballpoint needle - such as a 65/9 or 70/10, And a Teflon needle is even better. If possible, reduce the density of the design slightly, and stitch at a slower speed.
As with all projects, be sure to test your methods on a scrap of matching fabric first, and you will be fine!
