fsl bowl and my hoop was'nt tightened down enough. It moved just enough to throw it off. I'm going to finish it and see what happens when I rinse it out. I'm going to sew out another panel anyway. That is my lesson for the day.

Bev, on thing I do know - that sides of panels for bowls and doilies are very touchy - if you can just put them one at a time in a frame close to the size of the design - that works the best - really takes time to do it that way - but as you found out - doing it over - does as well - at the very most two in a frame. So sorry this happened. You can also keep a little angel in your memory on your machine and bring it up and stitch it out in the corners - if there is enough room - after you stitch the panel - this helps to use up some of the WSS, too.

It would not be so bad but these things always happen at the very end. I put it aside for now and will get back to it later. i just need 4 more panels. I'm doing 1 at a time in the frame, learned a long time ago not to crowd fsl.

Great saying! I could do with one at times... Sorry you had to redo the panel.

It will just make me more aware next time. I will pay attention!

I thought i could save it but no such luck, it now resides in my trash can . I decided i don't want to spend all day on 1 bowl so I'll put design on every other panel. it sews out quite quickly and when I'm done i can move on to other things. Who says there has to be 6 designs when 3 will work just as well.
