I don't hesitate to post a design that I stitch out - so I thought it was only fair to post one that didn't do so well. I have learned a lot about working with Marine Vinyl. I was working with Kim's wonderful nail file holder design - thinking I could make some great masculine looking ones out of the vinyl. I learned don't try to do small intricate designs on it as it will tear the vinyl up!!! Also, realizing the wrong side of the vinyl will show at the top of the design - hence, I put felt in front of the backing so it would show instead. Well that wasn't such a bad idea - except the backing vinyl slipped (yes, I should have had it more secure). Also, when trimming the vinyl, one has to be very careful with darker colors because the white of the vinyl backing is very noticeable. So, here, I will post the only one (out of four) that made it - but, it isn't very pretty!!! Believe me - Kim's design is great - it was all user error on my part. I will try again!!!!
