Yea Cuties! I finally got something made for MY Christmas gifts!
This is on Avery's top sheet. Pooky37 from Sew Forum made the words for me. They are filled stitched so I had to use cut-a-way, but I trimmed as close as I could to each word.
I did have a time of it, though, since not all words were the same height. I re-sized and went back & forth with post and emails to Pooky and Kim.
Poor Kim probably wanted to pull her hair out. She tried to help me make a template. I have NEVER printed out a template to use as I don't know how! And by the time Pooky knew I had troubles I was finished.
When I was satisfied with size of words, I carefully marked my sheet for placement & spaces since it would be 3 hoopings for me. I had marked one space 1inch, then decided maybe I needed 1 1/2 inch. HOWEVER, because I did not remove my first mark, I did not pay attention and emb it at that space. Needless to say, one space is 1/2 wider than the other.
Kim did suggest a fix if it bothered me tremendously. She suggested a small butterfly or heart be placed there. I had already sewn my cuff back down(see second photo) because when I embroidered the words I had ripped the cuff open so my back stitches are in between the cuff and don't show.
I also stitched the backside of the cuff, upside down, because when we make the bed we turn the sheet cuff back, over the other covers. Not saying this is the right way, just how we do it.
Also, the day I picked these sheet up, I didn't notice they were microfiber. I was rushed and just saw Great Hotels. I really like cotton but these are soft.
Well, should I rip out enough to sew in a little butterfly or heart or leave well enough alone?
Have a good day Cuties-Toogie
I wish I would have paid more attention, but I was working late at night, trying to do this.
May I ask how the microfiber was to stitch on? I have seen those and they are soft so bet they are " cuddly".
