This video started off as a pretty "show off" monogram design that I created on the gorgeous Kreative Kiwi Machine Embroidery Scalloped mug rug and some pretty pink fabric from Cricut.com.
Before the design had finished stitching, I realized that I made a mistake...more than once! Before the satin stitches started (the final step) i realized that I had cut the fabric too close! OH NO! The mug rug was pretty much ruined!! The satin stitches need to cover up the edge of the applique fabric, otherwise you will have fraying fabric and other disasters that makes the finish product...well...unfinished.
Normally people would unhoop this disaster embroidery - NOT THE KREATIVE KIWI DESIGN, MY CRAPPY TRIMMING! but it was so pretty and so close to being finished. So I cam up with a quick fix solution that doesn't change any of the Kreative Kiwi design, but does fix my mistakes!!
It was a great save, and easy to do - took only a few minutes and the resulting product looks perfect! you can't tell that I made mistakes or where I made mistakes! I picked a thread color that matches and blends in, but you can still see the stitches - so it looks like more embellishment!
Instead of tossing out your mistakes that ruin embroidery, keep it in the hoop and see if there is an easy solution! This solution consisted of digitizing one line, picking a motif stitch and stitching down the fabric. And it saved the day!!
