I downloaded this with the full set free from tommy free set this morning. Could it be my threads (gutermann & mettler) that I used that gave it the small spaces between colors? Or is it the design? Just the same, I think he is cute.

Thank you. *4U

Really cute. You've already learned how to fix designs that don't quite meet our expectations.
A flower 4 you.

that's a trick I use sometimes too.It wrks well, just be sure you use permanent inkt-pens so not on a base of water. like your pocket topper

That would be a terrible mistake. I will be very careful, thank you. *4U

I have had similar problems, and was given an easy fix for something like this. I had an instructor tell me to take a Sharpie permanent pen in similar color and go around the design where it appears to have skipped stitches. I tried this with a design of a wolf for my son-in-law, and it worked great. I was at JoAnn's after I was told of the Sharpies, and they actually had a set of different colors for this purpose. I think sometimes that it could be way we have hooped the project, or the stabilizer. This is cute though. Glad you shared this.

Thank you for your response. I will look for special sharpies like that (don't want color bleeding into my design). I will also wait until after the first wash when the stabilizer under the design starts to break apart. Bouquet 4U :)
