I'm almost finished on the top for this table runner and it has lost all of its appeal. I'm thinking of donating it to Good Will. I can't get the hair to behave and not look "possessed"! I've tried stitching it down, but it just looks "dorky" now. LOL! I guess I wasn't meant to be a hair stylist! Any suggestions on how to get it manageable would be greatly appreciated!

Deb, 1st off - I love it like it is - is it machine embroidered hair? If so you - can wet it a bit and then put a hot iron to it - or not - I think I would leave it just like it is. Hehehe!

Sewdeb I think the hair looks fab as it is, looks proper witchy, thanx my pretty for sharing :) *

I think it looks great - the hair adds character!

I like it just like that.

It looks great. It's hard to have neat hair when you get off your broom.

I think you did a great job on the whole thing. Looks just like a witch should

I like it too! It looks just like I'd think a witch's hair would look! All that flying thru the air has ruffed it up!

I like it as it is!

Not a hair person, but I think its really cute. That had to take some time adding hair. I wouldn't toss.

I think the hair is cute just like the little witches. If you feel like you want to tame the hair try a fabric softener sheet or some hair spray.

I think its fantastic with the hair like that! After all those are witches and they are suppossed to look scary!! :D

I think it looks great, she's just having a bad hair day like most witches do...lol..keep it don't give it to Good Will, you'll fall in love with it soon enough, just as we have..great job!!

I think it looks great. Show it to a child and I 'll bet they like it!!!

I'm sure you're right. LOL, this was to be a "fast" project all machine applique - done in no time, but with all the time fiddling and stitching the hair, I could have hand appliqued it! *4U

I think it looks great- the hair makes her more witchy.

If you want it to stay in place more, maybe add a little bit of fabric glue where you want the hair to stay.

I've glued and stitched tried everything but staples! LOL 8-) Thanks for the compliment. *4U
