Have you ever done this???

Edited by Kathy2eggs at 2013-10-6 13:16

I thought I was being smart and thrifty by using a scrap and doing a little biscornu...ha ha...I screwed up good.I thought I had counted enough squares, and then miscounted the border...yipes, no place to go.Think I will just trim a bit off, and sewing it into a tiny round thingy....like a box, only round?My hubby just laughed...all that time for nothing...well, not what I wanted anyway.:(

Another one that I tried and miscounted....oh well, thank goodness I dont have to make a living this way!:shutup:

Nope, nothing like that has ever happened to me, sowwy... ;P

On the biscornu one, you can just undo the darker pink border and sew it together. There wont be much room to work with but its doable.

Big hug!

I think many of us have at one time or another have mixed up our colours........ cloth count and size, you name it, Ive probably done it!   :lol   Keeps me human and humble!

Ive even tacked cloth underneath what I was stitching so I could finish the design!    Didnt look so pretty though!

Thanks for the tip, I might just sew it around a wooden spool....then try again!!

Usually I start in the middle of a big piece, and then have so much extra to trim off....;P

Ive done it and I wasnt happy, miss counted on a big project so nothing matched up. I put it away and havent looked at it for about a year. I know Ill have to get it out again some time and fix it but dont knoe when now Ive found this site theres so many projects Id like to do before I go back and fix my mistakes...... Lol
Good luck

I have to admit and I have been stitching on and off for years - but there is always a mistake in my pieces or a change of some kind (I hate pulling out stitches and if I fail to catch it right away and it looks ok I leave it)I would do what someone else suggested and just take out the dark pink and try to do it.Never know might not be so bad :)
