My husband knows the frustration I feel when the truly impossible is asked or expected of me. I’m the type of person that will bend over backwards to make others happy, so asking the impossible of me is downright cruel. Strangely, my husband listens to what is possible and then asks me for something different quite regularly.
Most recently, he asked me to dye his work pants to a darker blue. His work pants are a completely synthetic fiber for fire-fighters. My professional dyes work on cotton and other natural fibers. Being curious myself, I gave it a try. His pants now have a slight green hue to them, but they are also darker blue. He hasn’t seen them yet, but I know he will be disappointed with the green aura. But, he did ask the impossible.
In the world of machine embroidery, the impossible is often asked and expected. This person wants to stitch on a sheer scarf. That person wants to stitch on wood or other non-fiber item.
