waited until it was good and dry -- floated another piece of the stabilizer under the hoop.....changed needles (for the second time) and I now have two pillow tops that sewed out just fine. One is the Noel one and the other is Peace with the wise men in the C........

I am so pleased that you did not give up. I bet you feel really good now and of course the chocolate has made you feel even better!!! Sarah.

Well, there you go.... how's that for a Happy Ending.

I'm so glad you persevered. Now, in future you'll have all that knowledge under your belt to call upon should you be faced with another challenge.

Congratulations on not giving up and also on succeeding....... :}

I am soooo proud of you. You deserve a nice break but remember to keep on stitching soon.

Starch to the rescue again. I sprayed my FSL butterflies from ChristieF today - rather I soaked them in starch. They look great! This is good information. Maybe it isn't always the design. Live, Laugh, Download, Stitch! christine

I am so glad it worked out and led to success. I am also glad you posted it, because often we read about problems and with all the good advise I am often curious which one worked. ENJOY YOUR CHOCOLATE. :)

Glad it all worked out for you. I have read and marked for future ref. for myself the suggestions you rec'd. Guess the cuties came thru again!
Definitely chocolate time!

Happy to hear that all worked out.

Yes. you do! Makes you feel good, doesn't it? Congrats and now we want to see a picture of your designs!

When I finish the pillows I will post them in projects.
This material is a prettier green than it shows in the picture.
I plan to put a light golden and white trip around the pillows (and haven't puchased that yet) -- also trying to get ready for a trip... So I'm not sewing the pillows together until the end of Sept.

I also don't think I am going to be doing any emb until after that. I almost threw my machine out in the back yard! LOL (Not really, but after all my problems getting it fixed, then this puckering I am ready to take a break!)
