lined up with the original design....I CAN'T GET IT TO WORK.....HELP.. HELP.. HELP THE CRAZY ONE.....i have the leaves and the flowers, but was fixin to do the outline around the little bity flowers...its off...I am off to bed to leave this alone for a few hours...if you can give me a handle on it, I sure would appreciate it....I probably could have done it better except the original design is 1 1/2 inches from the end of the material...

there is not much play left in the design to work it around.....

Hi That happened to me before and what I DID was try to line it up starting from the middle of the design and ran the machine with no thread in it until I got the design back on track.Keep trying to get your middle. After it was back on track I put the thread back in and I was only 1 stitch off. I filled the stich in by back tracking the machine to before that stitch. If you don't get it I will try to explain it a different way. Good luck I am rooting for you Suzanne

so sorry for you, it's awful if such a thing happens.And being angry does not solve the problem:( the only advice that can help is like cutiepie tell already) .But if you cannot get in wright place again, do you think you will miss the outlines around the little flowers if you don't do them?anywhay lots of hugs and * for you!

The only thing I can think of is if you remember just how much you adjusted the placement from where the default was (for instance 8 "clicks" down and 3 "clicks" to the right). If you can remember that, you ought to be able to just restart the machine and then redo exactly what you did when you began doing the piece, and forward through the design until you get to the point where it got messed up.

Unfortunately, if you are like me, you probably didn't keep record of just what you did. My original embroidery instructor tried to ingrain this idea in us, for just such an occasion. I am very sorry to hear about the problems you are having and I pray that you are able to get it worked out without much further difficulty.

Deanna, can you place another piece of material over it, or somehow cover it up with another design. Only a suggestion. I'm not quite sure where you were up to - I hope it wasn't the last thing you had to do!

Love and blessings Chris
