I have had FSL designs for well over a year maybe two and had not tried it yet, but after seeing all the lovely FSL everyone had been doing on the project page, I voued to try this week end...Well I have been re constructing all the screens for my daughters house (in the sewing room) So tonight I thought I would try one and see how it went. It was perfect for working on the screens, as I could get it started; mostly white and it could sew while I screened. It turned PERFECT! I quickly loaded 4 in to my 8x8 hoop and started more. I have already loaded 6 ornaments into my 8x11 hoop and will do those this week end. I am hooked. So I know I will have sets of FSL ornaments for all the kids families at Thanksgiving. Thanks to all of you for inspiring me.

I am so gratful to all of you and this site, had it not been for you all, I don't know when I might have tried.
211079It sure doesn't take long to get addicted, does it? LOL! I put it off for so long, too, but once I tried it, I was addicted! Next... you'll have a burning desire to purchase every FSL design you see. Have fun!

17126Isn't it fun? Once you get up the nerve to try it, seems like you're hooked right away! I love to watch the FSL patterns stitch out, to start from nothing on stabilizer that IS nothing when you get it wet, hee hee hee, and end up with a finished piece that hangs together, whoopie!! Isn't it amazing what these machines and talented designers can do? I remember being a kid sewing, and being amazed when my Mom got a machine that would zig-zag! And now, FSL, wow. Enjoy decorating your tree. Sorry, I have a little "hoop envy" here, my largest field is 5x7. What kind of machine do you have? Hugs, Marji

I guess that is why I liked counted cross stitch....you took something blank and made a picture with only floss....knitting and crochet the same way.

Yes, I can see myself doing more and more shopping. I have decided I am more of a collector than stitcher....as I could never stitch all I have bought, plus all the free one...YEP CAN WE SAY COLLECTOR!

PLEASE don't wait any longer. Just use 2 layers of water soluable, I used the same thread top and bobbin and hoop really tight! You can't miss. If I can you can and so on and so on. Like I said I saw these here on the project page when looking back through the pages...they inspired me to try and I am so glad I did!
27608Congratulations Peggy, isn't it a beautiful sewing medium? I have only been doing it for a few months and was inspired by Shirlene on this site.
Well done and I hope to see some of your work in the Projects section.
By the way welcome to Cute
Love and blessings Chris
