Oh no, my snowkids had a baby...I know, it's a bit small, but I was trying to do one in a 4x4 inch frame...but it was do-able...it's bigger than a golf ball and smaller than a handball...trying it out for a Cutie that only has a 4x4 inch frame...sigh...

Like the small one, but may be hard to sew together?

Thank you..not really that bad..but I would recommend using short pins..mine were 2" long and it would have been easier with regular short pins!

They look great, I need to figure out putting words on. I don't understand the size problem, as only the stitching part is done in the hoop. My snowballs from Charmingstation are done in the 4x4 hoop, and the finished snowball is softball sized. I just bought her smaller set-different faces, and a bit smaller. The sewing of the ball is done on a regular machine.

It's all about the pattern...yes, the embroidery faces and message can be done in a 4x4 hoop...but not the outline of the body...you could cut a regular pattern to be whatever size ball you wanted...but not done in the hoop in a single hooping with a 4x4 hoop...unless you do the baby size...
by jofrog2000 22 Dec 2014
I just don't understand the need to do some things all in the hoop, when it's faster (sometimes), takes less stabilizer and fabric, to do some sewing. Especially with these. Much rather make more per yard than have so much waste left over. And it's a simple sewn seam.
by dragonflyer 22 Dec 2014
It sounds like you have the perfect pattern for your needs...
by cfidl 22 Dec 2014
I think it is the perfection and consistency of doing it ITH instead of on the regular machine, at least for me it is.
by jofrog2000 30 Dec 2014
You still have to sew it together with a sewing machine,

Lol! So glad your's are having babies! I made small one last year. Excellent job on the small stitching! Did you use cutaway or tear away?

Not sure what small one you made last year...I don't think I saw a picture in Projects...This was one that I was trying out for a fellow Cutie who only had a 4x4 frame and wanted an ITH snowball...I used a soft tear-away waffle type stabilizer..and

Hi Cloreta...the "baby" was a bit fussy to stitch, but if you use small pins, it is much, much easier...turning was not a problem...thanks for your kind comments!

WOW , the snowballs are so great. Unfortunately, it looks as if we'll get this year is no more snow . This would be an alternative so that a snowball fight can be made :-)
