Shout-Out to the Cuties who gave me FSL advice a few months ago. I'm trying to get better. I added the non-skid shelving pieces to my hoop and used a smaller hoop and just felt that I could do it! Soon, I hope my FSL and regular designs don't look like factory seconds! Thank you! I also need work on my camera skills.:)Treble clef is MyGardened and butterfly is StitchDelight from the dollar pages last week.

Thank you for all your encouragement and compliments in response to my post...wow.
I came back to post my original cry for help! Found it!
Thanks again and again.

Are you hooked yet? I went crazy with Christmas ornaments in FSL last year and have made a bunch of angels and had a bunch of angles sent to me last year because of the cancer fight. I am stable right now but not in remission and not doing chemo at the time. I totally LOVE FSL!!!!!

Joan, would you mind explaining about the non-skid shelving to me... very pretty work!

I think she is talking about that rubber like mesh you put on your kitchen shelves so the glasses don't break. Others have talked about cutting it to fit the hoop and cutting out the inside part where your fabric or stabilizer go so it helps hold the stabilizer tighter.

stabilizer tight. I don't use it myself but have bought it to have on hand.

Thanks Leennova, so it's used to keep the material or stabelizer from moving during sewing...? Again Thanks

They really look very lovely. Congratulations, I think the bug has bitten you too.heheheh!!!

They look good to me, Joan! I'm glad you didn't give up, too. FSL is so beautiful when you get a good design and get it sewn out without hitches. Congrats for keeping at it, and a job well done! Hugs, Marji

A big hug for you for not giving up. They look great to me.

Awesome are you hooked yet ??lol hugs

If at first you don't succees - I'm so glad you did try again and with much success! Your FSL looks beautiful.
