I was doing this little shirt for my friends nephew. It is bugs in a jar design by smart needle. Being that I always try to multi-task, I took my eye off this machie for just a second. The machine decided to "eat" the shirt. As a result I had a very small hole where the embroidery would not hide it. So, I picked out the ladybugs to put on the shirt to cover the error. I think that it turned out cute. It took longer to fix this error than to do the shirt. Did I learn a lesson? Probably not! But you would think that I should learn someting from this. LOL The little lady bugs are a design from Husqvarna.

great save, but the T-shirt is more beautiful with the ladybug, if there had been no holes, you would have invent them!

Of course you looked away! When would we do the ironing if it wasn't while we were embroidering? the shirt looks fantastic and the bugs are an improvement on the original.

If you did say you had a hole in the shirt no one would know. You did a great save on a cute design. The ladybugs fit right in.

I love it! It looks like the frog is stuck in the jar and just dying to get to the lady bugs! No one would ever know this was a cover up. Great work!!
