Well i bought this design this afternoon @ Embroidery library and the directions were not to my liking but i did getter dune!!!!I gotta trim it more and i forgot to put a back on it lol

Nice poinsettia Carolyn. Have a beautiful pot of them on my table, one of the girls brought in to me.

Carolyn, I like the front side but have to admit , I actually like the back side as well. You said you were going to trim it more, I think then the back will stand for itself quite well. Just my humble opinion. Thank you for sharing.

I think that an experience like yours helps us to expand our creativity. While not fun at the time, the result is quite lovely. I'm glad you stuck with it and let us know about the instructions.

thanks hugs

It looks pretty on the back stabilizer area also. Goes to show you could use a white fabric and look good as reversible also. Nice job.

EmbLib usually cut the applique shapes first. It gives a neater outline (no pokies) but it means printing out the shapes or stitching them (which means an extra hooping).
Anyway, it looks very pretty.
I noticed the design and thought it would be a good idea to use my own poinsettia design for a coaster. I'll put it on my to-do list.

please explain why i would print the outlines ??What has that got to do with the points???I don't buy many there lol hugs

You can see here https://www.emblibrary.com/EL/elp... how they do it: Printing the shape, using that as a pattern and then stitch the dieline, add the cut-out applique shape and stitch it in place. No pokies this way - b

ok show us how u did it***well me ****

This is beautiful, even if it wasn't fun to make, because you had to figure it out yourself. Of course I like the red fabric as it just pops!

For my husbands quilt label I forgot to use WSS and used cut a way instead. You can imagine my edge-ugh.

yep i can lol hugs***

Carolyn, I had to chuckle as I read your post. I could have written it myself. I did the exact thing. Even your photo looks identical to mine. I didn't like their lack of instructions either. I didn't want to use the die lines, figured I could just trim closely. After I realized my mistake I made a second one I'm very pleased with. It's such a pretty design. I'm going to use my mistake for an applique on something.

can u explain die lines???no clue here lol

by rsehorse 19 Oct 2018

The die lines are a pattern for the applique piece. You stitch the placement line then lie the already cut out shape in place and stitch around it. You are omitting the trimming as it is already cut. Just a different way of doing things. It's sort of like using a scan and cut for applique but die lines are cutting by hand using the die line pattern. Hope that makes sense.

by worthy 19 Oct 2018

rsehorse, I am understanding , you put the fabric you want for the applique into your hoop and stitch die lines (placement lines), remove fabric from hoop and cut around the die lines (placement lines). then hoop the background fabric you want to put the applique on and use the cut out after you stitch die lines (placement lines onto the background fabric? Know I am long winded but also dense here:-) Is that correct? the instructions not my being dense.:-)

Gorgeous, Carolyn.....love them both!

lol it is one front and back***

I think you have done a good job on these. I especially like the Red one.
Glad you worked out the instructions out. Some people write directions thinking you were there when they made it and this is just the notes.

It's a gorgeous design and well done for sticking it out. Sometimes instructions can be confusing! You'll remember the backing on the next one! Great work, love Chris
