This is to show Sandralane my Avatar slip gripper that I put under my sewing machine. I also take this to class to "mark" my spot. I made this one long so that I could have room to the left when my machine is @ class. I used tearaway on the back & wss on the front & I have had this for quite a few years & it is holding up very well. I am a big fan of Loralie Designs & this has been one of my favorites for years especially since we share the same name.

35301Wow, love it! You have done a great job, Loralye. Have you put a plastic sheet on top, just before the stitch-out?
Hugs, Lidia

I have nothing on top of it, only have remaining tearaway underneath to show white for her skin tone. Thank you Lidia very much, ~hugs **!~

18468Great job. Just goes to show you can embroider on almost anything. I have a few of her designs and they do sew out well. I was so pleased when she finally gave permission to allow buyers to use the designs on gifts.

29726Thank you Loralye, everytime i see your photo i have a smile on my face. Just love to look at your many varied projects they are all so good. And now to see a large photo and know the reason behind it is great i really did not think you looked like that at all. Like Toogie says i think all our imaginations run wild when we think about people in this cuties group. You did a wonderful job with this placemat, thank you again for sharing this with me. I have found some grip mat that looks a little bit like lace quit fine, will try this in the next few weeks and put up a photo when finished. Sandra.

I am glad that you posted Sandra you gave me the opportunity to show mine again. If you use the finer grip mat then be sure to use a not so dense design as the holes are sometimes to fine or too far apart to hold the stitches well. I look forward to seeing more of what you create. They are always terrific!~hugs~
24331Loralye, you know I am laughing, this time at myself, but first I want to say your embroidery and project is GREAT. The reason I'm laughing, when I first looked at it I thought, where did she find a design of herself? and just as quick I thought, that's not really HER!-lol- I need to know what you really look like, because I am thinking you look like this! Not that its a bad thing, look at that waist!

234474it just so happens that I won a free gift for submitting this idea way back in 2011. I searched the tips files over @ DBS & found my submission for my mat as shown here lol Just goes to show how well this is holding up almost 5 years ago ( made it in Sept of 2010)

7844That is so original. I'm a big fan of Loralie Designs too. Did you use a Cutaway ? or Tearaway ? I'd love to make one of these for a friend :-) Dee
