Had a bad afternoon embroidery wise. Totally ruined a t shirt as machine decided to play up. Had a cup of tea and left the machine to calm down. I then made this - not a single hiccup. I have thrown the other t shirt away.

Great colours, I presume this is for Ben. Its annoying when our machines play up. Lovely work

Thank you Caroline. Yes, it is for Ben. Unfortunately Georgie has outgrown my embroidered shirts and does not want them any more. :(

Kids have a tendency to OUTGROW shirts and other things we want to do with and for them!!!!!!!

Very pretty. The machine needs a time-out. In the corner machine.LOL!
I have started not sewing over 1 hour without giving the machine a rest. It takes a little longer but I have really cut down on problems.

It has happened to all of us. I had one of my husbands button-up shirt he wears to work in there when my machine messed up and made a big big mess. I hate it when things don't go well. I see this shirt is just fine. Hope you have a better day today.

This one is just perfect. Funny how those machines decide that they need a rest.

Lovely design and colors. I know the problem too, but I use the parts of those shirts which are intact for applications or mixing with other shirts.

This is really cute Sarah & as for the other tee shirt if Georgie plays with dolls of any kind then the jersey from the tee shirt is perfect for making doll clothes & the back side of the tee is perfectly suited for this so not a total loss~hugs~

I too have found out it's sometimes better to just walk away for a little while. This diansaur looks great/Lillian

I think they (the machines) believe that they are superior and sacrifices must be made to them. I figure it's cheap enough to feed them a t-shirt or towel periodically for sanity sake.

Well, I seldom walk out of the room any more. Even with the sequence feature it is some times hard to save a project. Kay

It can get quite expensive and nerve wracking feeding them clothing.

I try not to leave my machine alone for ANY REASON.....As sure as I do, it eats the item. The shirt is adorable... Use the bad one for practice or for doll T-shirts or dust cloths or to mop the floor or use as target practice!!!! Beautiful shirt you did. God bless you.
