Chris, don't you just love how their LACE stitches out? What did you think of how that cord stitched? Now did you soak it for a long while or not? This is lovely. Way to go. *4U

Yes, the design sewed out beautifully. I even left the machine and did all the washing, putting the roast on, having a bike ride etc. etc. etc. I loved the way the cord stitched out and the tassles. I only soaked it for about 5 minutes! It's gorgeous. Love Chris

Well done Chris. All their designs stitch out nice. I just found when I done mine, it is very time consuming. Cant do a lot

Well done Chris. Love the Red!
I agree these stitch out so nicely.
I made some of the star ones last year for my family and they turned out great.
I gave them with the Flameless candles in them and extra batteries for the candles.
Everyone loved them!
Thanks for sharing your project with us.

Thanks so much - I would love a few more of them, but will have to wait for a while - have bought a bit in the last couple of weeks and need to curb my passion! ha ha ha! Love Chris

Have been looking at these for Christmas gifts for my eight brothers & sisters; was a little leary as I had not used their designs before. Thanks to you I will now go ahead with my plan.

I didn't time it but there are nearly 42,000 stitches in the front and the back so close to 84,000! I was doing other things whilst the machine was stitching. I would hazard a guess at a couple of hours! Love Chris

Beautiful!! And thanks for showing the back. It looks like it's a very versatile design and could be adjustable for different size candles or glasses.
Love the color, too!!

Thanks Maryann - it's actually the side - you make the two designs and sew them together and then lace them up with the bow and tassles. Love Chris

This one is only for a 4 inch candle - I think there is a 3 inch, but not sure.
