Did you ever have one of those projects when nothing went right. I was putting this adorable "not my monkeys" design from Urban threads on a tee shirt for my granddaughter. It stitched out flawlessly but when I went to take it off the hoop I noticed two big mistakes. One, the placement was too low on the shirt and second the hem of the tee was caught in the design. I had no choice but to cut it off. In the second picture you can see the section that I had to cut off and how I managed to cover it by editing a free design from daily embroidering to fit the gap in the hem. The low placement problem was solved by editing a four pennant string into a sis pennant string and adding the text. Pretty creative save, huh. But next time I will be more careful. It was a lot of extra work.

Ssshhhhhh no one would ever know!

I love it! Looks like you meant for it to be like that.

great save! Looks better after the "fixes" than if it had been perfect to start with.

Great thought and idea!!!Gorgeous

Fabulous great save. I don't care how long we've been embroidering, we've all had to try 'saves'. Well worth it.

Looks great!! Good save ... Looks like it was planned like this. She is going to love it!

This is one of those inspired accidents!

Great save

I love the monkey at the bottom - you have a much classier T-shirt than you would have had without the accident!

Fantastic save. I love the monkey at the hem. Looks great.

What A wonderful job you did. I would have had no idea there was a mistake anywhere. Gail

Great save and very patient.

Yes, good save . Go into the kitchen and cook dinner and worry about it tomorrow!! Kay

Great save, very clever idea. Looks good to me. And a big welcome to the cute family. Sandra.

Very clever. I like how you think.

Great save. Just proves that you are very creative. The result is even more special.

I too would have NEVER thought of this as a mistake! I think it is so much better than just the original design on the shirt. Perfect!!

Welcome to cute. You have done an awesome job. Congratulations! We learn from our mistakes. We learn how to cover them up and how not to do them again. Great job/Lillian

My thoughts, exactly! Well done.

Nicely done, ~hugs~

As usual - if you didn't tell us we wouldn't know!
Great job!

Couldn't been any cuter if you had planned it this way. Great save.

You did a fantastic save; if you had not told about your problems I'd thought this was what you intended!
