Here is a well it was supposed to be a 45 minute project but I had so much trouble with this it took me almost 3 hours! Everything was going along just fine until I stood up to reach for a spool of thread & somehow I must have nudged the hoop because after that all the lower green was stitched in the wrong place! Seems I didn't realize it until it acme time to sew the Thanks then I had to pick it all out! sigh........then the outer satin stitch was all over the place in the wrong spot & zigzagging where it should not have been? Not really sure how that happened but even after shutting the machine down & restarting it...it just was wonky? So in the end I zigzagged the satin stitch myself. You can see if you look @ the top right there is a green stem & it is not supposed to be there it is in fact the gold leaf @ the end of the branch down by the "S". I figured no one would know the difference so I left it there. All of the outlines were missing so I coloured them all in?

582266014It is soooo annoying when that happens. You were lucky to get such a fantastic save. Your satin stitching is perfect. I sure can't get that good of a result when I try it, especially around the corners. Is this your own design?

35301It still looks good! I'm sure no one will notice the goofs if you don't tell them. From the picture, I would have never known anything was wrong! Good job and creative solutions!

4440Looks Great! I don't know how many times everything was going good that I looked away for a moment and my thread pulled enough to rip a hole or an edge of material got sewed into my design. All in all it is still my favorite hobby.
