What's the problem, you ask? Well, I discovered that I made a big counting mistake on this piece........of course, I hadn't put a note in the bag with the project, so I didn't remember that! Uff da! I spent 3 1/2 hours cutting out all the mistakes. After two hours, I decided to have a glass of wine while cutting. Now usually, that spells disaster. (I think I was secretly hoping to "accidentally" cut the fabric, so it would have to be thrown away.) No such luck, I've successfully removed all the "bad" stitching. Here's a photo of how it looks right now:

Just so you can relate, I had all but two letters stitched into the piece. Not even close now!
Of course, I have something that I really want to stitch on...........it's a "Jane" sampler. I'll show that to you in the next post.
Ouch!!! That's a lot of ripping! But it's a really pretty piece. I like it a lot! Good luck with it now that you're done with the frogging.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely design but I feel your pain at all that unstitching - I think the glass of wine was definitely necessary :)
ReplyDeleteYikes. I also feel your pain--I've done that, and I've turned the fabric 90 degrees the wrong way and ran out of room. You name it, and I've managed to do it wrong. Sigh--and it's not like we can stitch 23 hours a day!
