Were the crosses digitized as FSL? Maybe can be saved by coating with "Stiffy" which is a product used to stiffen crocheted doilies. Don't know if this all helps, but good luck!

I will try anything thanks!
sorry I thought about this & it is wet sew then it would disolve
It will dissolve as soon as it gets wet. You may have to just start over with a fsl cross. Sorry but maybe someone else has an idea. I don't think laminating them would be as nice. I hope you find a workable solution.

If all else fail , maybe you can consider to laminate them and then cut it out.

Loralye I am fixing things now! Just stitch it down to another priece of fabric. I am doing a coaster. If you can dry the piece that got wet you can do the same, I will upload pic!

Hi again. this piece is not sewn yet. I connected the lace to the fabric by spritzing the wss with water, so it took some time to dry. May not look pretty, however it will stitch well. I did screw up, in that I was only gonna fuse the middle of the fabric to the cotton sheeting below, so that I could trim and fold the fabric round. I fused it all, so it may turn out different still!

this is very pretty Christine, Sew you think that I should back the crosses with fabric & then spritz them with warm water sew that they will end up sticking to the fabric, is this right?
does that mean I should make the fabric cross with a backing sew that it won't fray?
& interfacing too?

I did this with a butterfly.... It just disappeared into a wad of string... no saving it. I don't know what to tell you except whatever you do .... don't get them wet!
Perhaps you could sew them to some netting and just cut around them?

I think this has already happened to almost all of us, so don't feel bad or stupid. I think you can remedy it only by fusing it onto another piece of material, or laminating them - although it is not the same effect, at least you did not waste your time and cotton. The recipients will still be overjoyed by your thoughfullness. Lovies.*** Happy Easter.**

It's not stupid! Everyone has done things the wrong way on something. I'm sure cuties suggestions will help make things all right.
