Nice work Fox!
ReplyDeleteThat's sew much better and what neat stitches too.
ReplyDeleteThat's sew funny, you sew girl!
ReplyDeleteAnd the hanky is now a bit smaller! - which is always good. It does look better, congratulations on being brave enough to use the scissors.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, fox. It looks much nicer like that.
ReplyDeleteLovely hanky and nice color of thread!
Very good!! :) Love how wonderful the edging is!! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful improvement.
ReplyDeletewhat a perfect idea! Congrats on figuring out what you needed to do. The edging will be just right now.
ReplyDeleteAha!

Me too! I may try that for the purple edging I'm working on. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWay to go !
ReplyDeleteI love your solution fox, sometimes the problem isn't really the problem! Lovely edging too.
ReplyDeleteOooh, good idea!! I think I might do that to the one I kept back here in Russia! :) (I'm too scared to try to edge anything, let alone the squiggly edged things!)
