Looks ok to me too. What was the wrong size needle? Do you remember where the design is from please?

Thank you. I have a set of new towels the same colour - will have to look for the design. Was wondering what designs/s to use on this colour!!!

Will suit my 2yr GD who thinks to impersonate a monkey is the funniest thing in the world.

I bet that Alex will never find out about the outline! The design is beautiful and the colors go very well with the lovely color of the bath towel which looks thick and soft. I like it!

Yes really thick which contributed to the needles breaking I am hoping he loves it.

Would never know what trouble you had from looking at this. Well done. Can see the towel looks very thick though, so no wonder it was a bit of a challenge!

Well done! It looks very nice. Doesn't look like it moved to much. I'm sure Alex won't even notice. The towel looks like its very thick, so thats probally why it worried your machine so.
I've had my share of broken needles too, lol!

Love the colors! Really cute design! Did you figure out why the needles broke, was the needle too fine for the fabric?

Hugs, Bonnie

Either needle too small also was using Q&A thread which I have learnt is not good.

by bnilla9241 06 Dec 2011

I understand about less expensive thread! It ends up costing more when all is finished. Either you have to redo the whole project or find it commercailly!!
Good luck with the rest of your projects.

Hugs, Bonnie
