I was asked by a new Cutie (she is having trouble with stitches showing bobbin) to post my version of a design found for free in the DBC. The DBC is now closed. I did several stitch-outs. All of them on "fabric of unknown origin" form WalMart. It is stretchy, horrid fabric and I did not even press it with an iron before I began.

I intentionally used the worst thread combinations combined with the worst fabric I could think of as I stitched it out with Black top thread and white bobbin thread. Then, because you cannot really see the white bobbin versus the white fabric, I used Black bobbin with Pink top thread on a design I enlarged (some say never re-size this type of design) so you could easily see any and all possible errors that were part of the design. I DID use cut away stabilizer on all the stitch-outs and I trimmed the jumps (I stopped the machine at the end of the first go round but did not remove the hoop) but they were easy to trim.
I did stitch the design with pink top thread and white bottom thread (the way I would do it for a customer) and it turned out so well -- I am going to put it on a purse to encircle the button.
I am posting pictures but as I hate posting subpar stitch-outs -- I will post the good stitch-out first. The black stitch-out was not resized and I am posting the back (uncut) for both "bad" stitch-outs. My camera is 8 megapixels so you can enlarge it. I tried to do a very close shot of the black bobbin bits you can kind of see??? However, the pictures turned out fuzzy.
Please tell me what you think I could use this great design on – I need ideas! I have had too much trouble with similar style designs from other sources to bother with this style before now. This design has changed my mind! I am so glad I was challenged to stitch it out! Thank you to the new Cutie! As soon as I have more money for designs, I will be shopping for more from this designer.
