Tee shirts made for my grandchildren. Its two years since I embroidered any tee shirts and my memory was a little hazy. In holding some of the excess fabric out of the way with a clothes peg it got in the way and caused the stitching to go out of alignment as seen in the first picture. I turned the machine off and on again but the problem wasn't solved, so I turned the machine off and went for a walk to the fabric shop. Two hours later the machine was fine and I was able to finish the design and carefully unpick the problem stitches. All the designs are from Urban Threads. The zip shirt is for Gruff and I need to buy some larger shirts for Twm. Yesterday was the first time that I have spent so long just embroidering since we moved in 2015. Thanks for looking

115756Very cute shirts, congratulations. I have also used those metal legal file clips (with hinges) or these big plastic quilting clips (hold a lot of bunched up fabric) that are C-shaped. Whatever works. We're like magicians!

I have had the zip design for about 3 years and the bow sometime last year but only sewed it out yesterday. Yes time out as with naughty children did the trick
