I put this owl together for some old designs I found on a disk with noname on it. I saw the eyes, and fortunately found the rest. The monogram center is from designsbyjuju. I must not of centered the design because it is an inch to the left. I then found the purchased canvas bag I stitched it on is totally off grain. I am figuring out what to do now, if you have any suggestions, I thought fabric to make new sides. I also learned that making the design as big as you can is not always best.

well, I can't see where it's off centered! Looks fine and so unique. Good idea and great job!

No matter what I think this is beautiful! Could you add some tiny designs on the larger side to balance it? Fool the eye kind of thing...

I can't see anything off on this. You have great creativity to see this in many designs as you did. I would have never thought of this. This was a wonderful idea.

Wonderful idea to assemble something big from scrolls and also cannot see any off centre. Wish you much luck in finishing your project and hope you will show us again then. Maria

You are correct as you are not seeing the inch off. I thought you would like to see the design more and I am so happy you like it and are going to do it yourself!

It is a bit bit at 12 inches for a glass case, maybe I will see these designs again and make it smaller.

Either way, it is stunning. I do hope you can find some way of correcting the 'inch'. I wouldn't worry too much about it though. Most people don't notice things like that. Love Chris

Ii got those same monograms from JUJU. I love them. Not heavy or thick. They stitch up quickly and beautifully. The owl is just BEAUTIFUL. What a wonderful idea. Love this place. What a way to stay warm on a cold winter day in TheCommonwealth. God bless you.

You could always embroider something down the side such a Life's a hoot or such (even a name) to help center! I love this!

I just noticed the monogram in the center, so name would be no good.

That is sooo pretty! If you think it is off centered? (can't see that)..you might do a simple vertical border line down the "off side" a wee bit from that side of the owl, and fool the eye. Maybe you have a 'scroll' border design? Still very beautiful owl.

Thanks I like the scroll down the side, I will look for something to fit.

I'm impressed that you were able to find all its parts! It a fantastic owl stitchout! I sure don't see the inch at all. If you bought the bag and it's off grain and you already stitched on it, I don't think there is much you can do. You might try ironing on a stiff stabilizer on the back side.
