Well, finally got time to mess with this design that gwillman and Toogie stitched out. I got the design from____and signed up for the class but can only watch YouTube videos. My registration got off using my magnetic hoop on my knit shirt==can't understand why since it lined up perfectly for the right side but anyways played with it. Of course my machine chose to shred threads, break 2 needles and jump out of tensions but I still thought this is so lovely. I'll do it again with a different color Hydrangea I bought at Dollar Tree, which I now refer to as $1.25 tree. I'll fix my registration booboo on my regular sewing machine by doing a matching satin stitch in the space. I love it. Easy to do.

Beautiful job. Bling doesn't hurt a person. Nice idea with the flower petals.

Not my idea but very inventive of the digitizer's. Very easy to do also. I'm just slow as molasses when it comes to actually setting up and doing a project. Thank you very much.

Well gals, knowing me like I do I just had to add a few heat wand AB crystals to the front of this. A little more of a bling doesn't hurt any girl.

Is there a picture of the added bling?

peafarm by peafarm 05 Sep 2022

I did not take a picture after I added bling---added only about 6 size SS10 AB clear crystals to the center down the bodice.

Love the skirt (flowers) on this! I can't see where it messed up, so I think it looks great! Good job!!!

Agree Stunning. So sorry for machine acting up, know how frustrating that can be.

Thank you, frustrating because I can sit and sew, no prob. then next time threads flop out of tensions. Don't trust my dealer's son who is the tech in that store---I watched him rip a hoop off of a floor room model that a worker had gotten stuck. Just leaned right over that machine from the back and yanked forward real hard--no sirree, I won't go there. Fix most problems myself but hubby stretched a spring I am told they can't get anymore and yet they have all these newer machines in the showroom with the same type tension area's. I got my own spring that I still have to cut to size and install but instead for now sit and watch best I can.

Thank you. I'm glad I saw 2 people post this here. Found it, got my silk flowers and made myself sit and do it. I guess when my machine acts up I've had my fill for awhile, lol.

Thank you--yes so easy but my machine got finicky. I decided just rip the straight stitch line that got out of alignment. Started that last night to see and yes, it will be fine to rip out what was to be an edge outline.

Thank you. I think so but my husband not so much. Said he doesn't like the 3D stuff on shirts. I bet if it was a hotrod or classic he'd like it though.

Looks wonderful! I too have the design but have not had a farmwife chance to try it out. Thought I was getting caught up and just finished doing peaches, now on to the tomatoes tomorrow and cleaning on Friday for a weekend of company. Never dull around here. Keep up the great work

Thank you and know what you mean. Visiting my brother today but tomorrow will be canning tomato juice that I juiced last night. I have a patch I call 'the jungle' of Beefsteaks that just keep on giving. All volunteers from last yr. One pumpkin got in there and trying potatoes. Cucumbers are gone in this area so ready to pull that up.

I will wear it proudly. Bet no one around here will have such a shirt. I love it. People come up with some of the most beautiful designs.

Thank you. I loved Toogie's and gwillman's so much I had to find this design and finally got a little time in my day to try it. I think my magnetic monster hoop shifted on me. My friend just bought one for her Janome machine and I told her to be very careful--strong magnet but still can shift. Well, I had a sample now to show her it is true. I thought 'how could it have shifted that much on one side and when I checked the other side---I moved my stitches back to ck. it still was lined up perfectly--go figure but still a little gap of no stitches so I will cover the shirt space with a satin stitch of the same color and already did my sample last night to see how wide of a zigzag and how close to hide my green knit shirt. Thank you for commenting.

No, I ripped out that off outline and no one is the wiser. I did the triple knit stitch on my old sewing machine and placed te outline where it should have been stitched. Then I decided to glue wand some AB crystals down the middle--ah, gotta add more bling.
