Nice work. I think the fairy looks fine where she is & will be well loved by someone.
It's a beautiful design. After printing out the design template I place some extra dots (water disappearing ink) to help line things up. You did a very nice job for your first attempt.
And oops, I think I forgot to hit the upload button!
Also I ended up putting a hyphen just about in a dog's eye yesterday -poor dog! LOL
I think they look great just how they are. It doesn't matter if the writing isn't perfectly straight -adds interest, especially as the writing is cursive. I find getting things straight tricky as well, and often will add placement 'dots' in my embroidery software to sew first, so I know before sewing the design if it'll be where I want it. Other than that, I use the plastic grid template that came with the hoops and pin mark in a cross where the centre should be. They both look great though.
Because I don't always get my work STRAIGHT,I think ya did a super job and would make a lovely gift,,,,,,,don't point out the bad spots...haha,,,,Sue
I don't bother too much if everything is not exact....just adds to the charm...well done!
You are doing a great job, keep up the great work and you can do anything. DeVon
