I had an idea in my head to make this applique fall off the end of the towel but once I started stitching it out I saw that there would be cut off towel showing @ the edge. I should have quit right then & there & started fresh by lowering the design & of course wss not cut away stabilizer. But NO I decided to keep running back & forth to my program & tweeking the design to cover here & there. What should have taken maybe an hour took me 2.5. I left to grab my cup of coffee & was gone maybe 35 seconds when I got back I could hear my machine struggling & I looked & saw that my wss got caught under the needle & made a big knot UGH! By the time I picked out what I could there was still a gob of wss so I got a sponge & wet it out then took the blow dryer to dry it up so I could go over it again sigh. After I did this I noticed that it had pulled away from where it was supposed to line up so I had to run back again & add satin stitches to cover where it had been pulled away. Once I was done I needed a way for it to hand & show off the design so I added a snap with stabilizer on both to support being pulling & now finally it is done & I like it very much

Lots of us have ideas in our heads that don'tnecessarily work out the way we had pictured! This is a very creative field and part of doing it well is trying things. What if...

It looks so perfect....and a pretty design too , I like it . This has also happened to me once...unfortunately could not save it......mine the thread got entangled and came off the hoop.....lost my patience and kept it away.....till today. It is a beautiful peacock design...rehooping to get the perfect position is cumbersome....oneday i will.. Thanks. Hugs
