Oh Happy Day!

Today I worked on kitchen towels.  I started with daffodils.  It was a lovely design but the white thread kept breaking.  I came to the realization it was the stabilizer I was using under the towel.  I persevered and continued threading the machine as the thread broke, and I finally finished the design.  A difficult chore but it turned out really nice.

I told you I would show you my next mistake in my embroidery.  Ok, here it is.  I accidently hooped the second towel in the wrong direction.  I forgot how my towel was laying and the flowers were going to lay sideways when finished.  I didn’t want the design to be sideways so I stopped stitching and turned the design on the machine (yes it has that capability!).

The leaf on the right and the stitching to the lower right is the mistake.  I started over, re-programming the embroidery layout, and just stitched over the mistake.

When I finished stitching the tulips I can hardly see the mistake.  I’m thankful it is barely visible.  I pulled out the stitches to the right of the leaves and clipped the wash-away toping close to the embroidery so there wouldn’t be very much to wash off.

After going through the laundry this is how it turned out.  Oh happy day!

A nice addition to my kitchen towel drawer.

Thanks for listening ~
