looks fine to me... but then I have never done any of them

Molto carino...

Silly me! I thought this looked great! Hugs, Judy

At first I thought they looked great, when you showed them on the stabilzer but when you zoom in on the coaster you can see the threads that have come undone. This is really too bad with all the money spent on thread and the time spent doing them. I am sure they weren't stiched out in twenty minutes. Now, I complete one and if I like it then I continue with the rest,I have learned the hard way too many times. Did you write to the comapany where you got it from maybe they can give you tips? I can feel your disapointment! Anna

I don't think stitching them on Tulle or Organza would be any better as these appear to not be digitized right.

There is a coaster - free on ABC Embroidery that you may like.
It is in the Archives of the free designs.
You have to register but it is easy.
I will find the lonk for you and post it here.

There is a Free FSL Doily in 2 sizes at ABC Embroidery in the Archive Free Designs that the small size would work for coasters.

You have to register you email address and a passwaord on the right hand side at the top of the page link.
Then go back to the link page and in the middle section click on the second line that says Free Design Archives.
Scroll down and on the left side of the free designs find the Lace Doily design (in 2 sizes) and click on the small words go to download page.
There you can download the file format for the Doily.
I can't remember if you have to wait for approval from them or not after registering but there are some nice free designs there so it is worth it.

Here is the link.

If you have problems let me know.

I see why she is disappointed with this. If she used the right water stabilizer and the right amount of layers and they look like what she is showing then they are done poorly as you can see if you zoom in they are not together very well. We all are looking out for each other here to show the good and bad.

i have never done any so i thought ;they looked nice....guess i have a lot to learn

I didn' t think it looked that bad, but you have it up close and can see better. Arlene

sorry for you, they sure looked pretty before removing the WSS

Terre, so sorry these did not come out right for you. I know how disappointing that can be. The doily eastwitch2 gave the site for is really nice. I have made several of them and have not had a problem. LOL Carol

I know you are verry dissapointed, but give it an other try. Look for good FSL like ABC or buy from Mygardened. She has an offer now i thought and what I made from her they are all great from the hearts, dragonfly, hummingbird and several doily's. For the free always try one before you make an lot. Anyway give it an other try it is realy great to do (don't forget taveerne and Lianne.de) Yvonne

Terre, I'm so sorry this happened. What a shame, it's such a pretty design.

Have you tried these fsl alpha coasters on designs by cuties.They were the first fsl that i tried and they turned out beautifully, I am doing a couple of sets as xmas gifts.

Terre, so sorry this happened - some of those sites - you have to be very careful of - I would say - this one might be one of them. I wish you luck with other items that you stitch out - for your benefit.

SO sorry this did not turn out for you.
Helen

I dont know if you need more of these, but on this page is a doily (one of the 4 corners which i have made last year and it is lovely. It is the green/l green flower but thisone you can make in different tst colors. Good luck, Yvonne

Oh my, this turned out worse than I first thought when I looked at the first pictures you posted a few days ago, and I commented then I thought it was poorly digitized. I'm sorry you had problems and as you know, I wasn't being critical of your work. :-)
Thank you for showing the end result, and I hope you can find a pretty design that works for you.

For the record, I have stitched many of 'sewinhuggs' designs she has so generously shared with us in DBC and they all stitch beautifully. Even when I use regular sewing thread that I bought in a big box at the thrift store years ago.
I wish I could give you more than one flower!

It looks to me as if the foundation stitches are missing underneath the sections that have come unravelled.
Have you contacted the digitiser and told her/him?

If you would like to send the design to me I will have a look and see if I can fix it for you, then it won't be a waste of an otherwise lovely design.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

This is so sad...had it been digitized correctly it would have made a beautiful coaster. Have you tried contacting the digitizer?

beautiful FSL **********

Without a doubt, I would contact the owner of the site. Maybe there is some way she can remedy this or perhaps offer a different design. Definitely email her the picture so she can see what happened!!

That would be so disappointing to do all that work on the fsl and not have it turn out. Not only the time to stitch them, but the thread and WSS is not cheap either.

I wish everyone that posts designs would let us know if they have been test stitched or not.

I test stitch all my designs before I stitch them out on anything good, even the ones I buy. I've had a few not so good ones that I paid good money for also. *4U
