This question came in my email today...
"Could you offer any suggestions the best way to photograph an embroidered design without it looking washed out of overexposed. What is the best lighting. I just wanted to take some sample pictures. Thanks! -- Gail"
The answer is YES! Here's the one secret most people miss when it comes to taking embroidery pictures... Lighting is the most important factor in getting a great photo!
Get plenty of light on your embroidery and your camera has something to work with. If you don't get enough light, you'll end up with blurry or dark, low-contrast pictures.
Here's an example of a well-lit photo...

Thank you Larry. I'm going to go rescue two lamps out of the garage. I will go to the hardware store tomorrow and get the daylight bulbs. I "knew" this, I really did. I just NEVER thought about it to create my embroidery pictures. Thanks. Betty
