Not yet any love in the air for this one, although I like the pattern personally, nothing was going right. The thread seems to be poor quality and keeps jumping out of the needle. And having miscounted my start point, I realised that the fabric provided was only about 4 stitches wider than the design... So definitely no wiggle room for mistakes!
After pulling it out, I cut a piece of fabric from my own stash that I could guarantee would be big enough. The thought of stitching an entire project and finding out it wouldn't fit was a level of stress I'm not prepared to live with.
Just realised that I have missed 2 rows of stitches on the Air. They will be picked up next week.
And the cheesy heart shaped balloons will definitely not be a feature on the finished articles. I'm currently looking at simple hearts as a 'path of least resistance'.
I think our general sense for this project is definitely Meh.
If I'm honest, I think we're both eager to start the next one (before we talk ourselves out of it) , but we need a little prep time to have what we need in place for it.

So funny even when we start in the same place we do it differently.
ReplyDeleteSweet design, I hate when fabric is not the right size.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to seeing your progress.

I can't believe how tight they are with the fabric! It's not even good quality usually.
