Will some one please give me some tips on alinement This is my third try they go crazy every time

I agree with rsehorse...looks more like a sewing alignment issue than embroidery...looks like you could line up the centers and if there is a slight problem at the border...you can even up the block there (?)

I make paper templates (copies of the design) and pin these to the fabric. The template has a grid showing the center of the design which is where I line up my needle for the first stitch. Remove each template when you have lined up your needle in the center of that part of the design...keep the other templates pinned to the fabric until you are ready to sew those areas.

sounds like you have some good advice here. It is a really neat design. Hugs Loralye

Thanks every one hugs Brenda

I have found a basting stitch around the design helps me line them up and then I line up the deigns - not the material. Lyn. xx

Sometimes I photocopied the design and measure it first before starting to embroider. So the copy serves as a guide. Just the first stitch is above the paper and I'm checking step by step to reassemble the other part of the embroidery.

Start pinning in the middle and work your way to the edges. If the edges are not even at this point trim the edges. It is more important to align the center than the edges. Susan

Looks to me like the embroidery is OK. Just need to realign your sewing.. You can press one side on the stitching line. Lay it in place on the ironing board next to the other half. Line it up exactly and use straight pins to pin it, then sew it with the sewing machine. Hope this helps. It is a pretty design. Susan

what do u find wrong with it??From Canada it looks like it just needs a good pressing???hugs
