Love the colors! Really cute design! Did you figure out why the needles broke, was the needle too fine for the fabric?
Hugs, Bonnie

Either needle too small also was using Q&A thread which I have learnt is not good.

I understand about less expensive thread! It ends up costing more when all is finished. Either you have to redo the whole project or find it commercailly!!
Good luck with the rest of your projects.
Hugs, Bonnie

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING. I WILL CHECK WITH THEM. BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!
48Well done! It looks very nice. Doesn't look like it moved to much. I'm sure Alex won't even notice. The towel looks like its very thick, so thats probally why it worried your machine so.
I've had my share of broken needles too, lol!

Diane, I find it really scary when needles break. Never mind lesson learnt thicker needles.

Yes really thick which contributed to the needles breaking I am hoping he loves it.
