This is a picture of the design that I've been talking about over on the discussion board.... Was not able to post it there....

It is a very pretty design.

one of my projects did the same around the little bear. Cuties could this be because of a tight tension? Just a thought.

It is a very nice design. Glad it worked out well.

Sorry about the puckering but it still looks pretty. Love the design.

Even with the puckering it still looks awesome! You'll get it.

This is still nice, but I know u r dissappointed.What design is this, from where? It is a beautiful design-Toogie

This design is from Emb. Lib. I washed the material, ironed it... sprayed a med weight stabilizer - stuck the material to it..waited for it to dry completely, floated another piece of the same stabilizer under the hoop and it sewed out just fine. Will post a picture of it's twin....PEACE with the wise men in the C..... later.

like the design

Beautiful design. If you are going to frame the design I have had good luck ironing on a stiff interfacing.

This is for a pillow. The green material is much prettier than it shows here.. I plan to put a white braid around the edges with a gold fringe.
I don't plan to finish the pillows for a couple of weeks.... will post the finishe project when they are done....

It just seems to be in the one place. It looks lovely but I know that you would like it without the puckers.
Don't give up - I am sure you will get it right.

This is a tightly woven bottom weight material, very crisp, and the reason I have now washed it and trying again.

I think I have that design too. The beauty of it makes up for the puckering! I notice when I use cut-away on dense designs now. I get no puckering *2U

Very pretty with the angel in the O.

Lovely! I know that you are frustrated with the puckering, but it doesn't look too bad. I really love the concept of the design.
