I told a guy at work that I am learning how to do those Crimson Tide lace
bowl, He said he would clean up his desk and make sure have a spot for my
creation of crimson tide lace bowl. I made the Big A in lace and stitched
out fine. So I am going to incorporate the big A to the lace bowl side
that will save me some work.
Last two days, I had no internet and those 2 days sure were rough. How
could people live in the old day without internet?
I went back and listened to the digitizing tutorial. I understood my own
mistakes. Like you mentioned in the other post. The outside of the star
were the problem. The center big star was fine. So what I need to do is
find a way to connect the tiny stars and re-enforce them.
Well, before I do anything, I need to go through all Pixie posting first.
Now I went through the whole tutorial, I learned how to make the towel
hanger with applique. I used the Dallas Cowboy star make one already and
stitched out. My friend loves it. It is in my friend's office and no one
can touch it.
