Triple ouch! Looking forward to seeing what you make of it. Most of us have those things that some elf or grinch interferred with the design!
double ouch! I surely am sorry. I hope you were able to salvage the project.
Oh, ouch. Those big mistakes are so disheartening. I am glad that you were able to at least try and make something else from your mistake. Far too often, I have to rip out my mistakes and try to "recover" the project by restitching. =[
I hate to rip out - have you ever used the stitch shaver? I have a project that my machine messed up and when I tried to take out the stitches it created a hole. This was a throw, and I am trying to fiqure out how not to throw it out!. Maybe an applique, front and back so that it would not show?
