Seamlyne Designs

Thank you for your support over the last 25 years. We officially closed Seamlyne at the end of 2025. It's been an amazing run. But this journey known as life changes over time. We are starting to travel a new path.

Please join us at Map's Edge Creative. Over the next several weeks we will be creating a website and social media accounts for the new company. Please check back using the new company name here, Facebook, Etsy, and our new domain MapsEdgeCreative.com.

We do love lilacs, but Instagram makes you have a picture. I have a poll for you. This is a personal preference. Thank you!

I believe this is a hornpipe and I love how clean it is.

For the first time in a long time I've got a couple of costumes to design, and this is the first time doing it digitally.

I used AI for the model, which was really tough because AI is stupid...I told it what I wanted the model to look like and it came close - with multiple refinements! - twice out of three dozen attempts. Just the face, though. The garment, fabrics, textures, and all the rest is all digital painting by hand.

Hi there,

We are brainstorming the types of small items that could be embroidered but also look good as a sticker, coffee mugs, tote bags, t-shirts, you get the idea.

Please let us know your ideas!

Here is one sugar skull already embroidered:

We started many years ago creating a seasonal design to go to with the banner on the website. We chose Zazzle.com because it allows you to have a mug with a corresponding color on the inside.

It looks more attractive than a white-on-white coffee mug. What I'd like to know is if you like that idea? Would you like Wm to make more unique seasonal designs to go with the word Seamlyne? It will also allow you to choose the inside mug color. 🍁

Heya, friends...Bill here. Been spending the majority of my computer time digitizing a new design. Maybe you saw the teaser? I don't use digitizing software, I do it by hand using Inkscape extension in Inkscape.

The biggest challenge is minimizing jump stitches - the stitches you get when the machine has to jump from area to area. Our machine will trim the thread after every individual object, but trimming adds time and an opportunity for the thread to break.

Anyhow, the trick is to create your own "travel" stitches: just a line of running stitch between the end point of one area and the start point the next, in the knowledge that another area is going to cover that up. Sometimes the lines get really convoluted, like the travel stitches from pink to pink in the rose.

Doesn't always work. You can't always predict the start and end points, so you run a travel stitch that works with the simulation the actual render starts somewhere else. The only way to know is to run a preview (below), which, on this design, takes about fifteen minutes a pop.

Jump stitches, as you may have gleaned by now, are a pain in the ass.

Here you go, folks! The teaser for Wm's next embroidery project and planned online store piece

Hi, Surprise! We wanted to let you know we are completely revamping of our Zazzle.com online store.

Going from the ground up so we may let inconsistencies slide. So,if you see Seamlyne Reproductions, let us know so that it can be changed to Seamlyne Designs.

Also, look and think about the items you would you would buy or would like to see.

We're still working out the kinks like phone cases (iPhone and Android).

As an incentive for your help, bring us your opinions, and we will put them in a hat.

On May 1st, we will do a drawing for 15% off anything in the shop!

Also, I have a sneak peak of Wm's current project.

Hi! I wanted to show you what you get when you order from Zazzle. The bird Zoomorph design on a black t-shirt. The Tree of Life embroidered on jeans.

We've changed our name to Seamlyne Productions because as we do more embroidery, we wanted a name to wanted to reflect our products better.

So, it you don't mind a regular t-shirt or the design on other items, Zazzle is the way to go. (I think the coffee cups rule).

You can still get real the real deal by hollering at us and providing the item you want the embroidery on.

Wm also ordered the owl in a t-shirt, but not my size.it looks great on him though!

Look for new designs soon!
