Hello, and thank you.

I had problems with the first one, not while stitching, when it was finished, it was full of puckers. But after reading their tutorial, I solved the problem !!

Hi Chris, thank you. I know now what to do when I take on another design so dense, very firm fabric, like denim, and use 505 sprayed on the stabiliser.

I love owls as well, especially barn owls, and I've stroked one when I lived in Cornwall and someone was in the shopping centre with one, beautiful birds.

Would you believe it when I tell you that only one colour was used throughout? I suppose the way the stitches went made it look as though I used another shade of green, if that is what you mean by the different shading? It was a very interesting design to do, but it's all thanks to Urban Threads !!

Hi Caroline, this is the second time I did this. Yesterday, I did it in light brown on cream material, but quite a few puckers were round the edge, and no amount of steam pressing would get rid of them, and that was no good for me, so it ended up in the bin !! Then I got an e-mail from Urban Threads, and they were showing a tutorial all about getting puckers and outlines going off, so I printed it off, took it to bed, and couldn't wait for this morning so I could start again! This time, it was done on very firm material, in my case, denim,,but the stabiliser was attached with a temporary spray, so it couldn't move if it tried, my son chose the colour, and away I went, with my fingers crossed! I was so pleased when it came out perfect, gave it a press, and put it in the frame. Now I know what to do in future with a very dense design, no holding me back now !!!

I don't know about him being tired, the clock seemed to be going extra slow today! I shouldn't moan about this taking over two hours, a little while ago I did one that took 7 hours!
