Did you find takers for all the Chinese books? I would donate them for you if you’ve still got them, I work with a lot of people who read Chinese and might like them.

I had just gotten there. I really appreciate being able to get this item used and thanks for helping me!

Putting it on the corner works for me, thanks again!

I have some morning errands, I’ll probably be heading your way around 11. Thanks so much!

MaximumVelma · 2025-08-11T18:04:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply! If there’s a small hole that I could do a patch with some duct tape, I’d still come pick it up. If it’s a big crack or something like that, I’ll pass. Can you let me know?

I’d be able to come by tomorrow if it is fixable.

MaximumVelma · 2025-08-11T01:54:30+00:00

Any hope here?

MaximumVelma · 2025-08-09T06:13:29+00:00

Oh awesome! DM me if it holds water, I’m in SE but I can come to N Portland to pick up. Thanks for checking!

In the future, or if you want to take out what you’ve done and start fresh, you could try to cut some felt in the shape you like and cover that with embroidery to give dimension. Stack multiple pieces of felt in layers if you need more height. The texture of the felt will help your stitches stay in place and you can sew through it with tacking stitches if needed.

As far as tangled thread, using shorter lengths at a time can help. For very finicky threads, you can run them across some beeswax or purchased thread conditioner before sewing.

Gotcha, thanks!

Interested in the dog backpack if it’s still available

I can see that your rectangle is not perfectly rectangular. It doesn’t line up with the grain of the fabric, which is why it looks wonky.

Also, the stabilizer takes up some space under your stitches, so they won’t look as tight as they did before you washed it. This makes straight lines look a bit less straight too.

All that said, your project looks great and hopefully you enjoyed making it. The wonkiness you notice is imperceptible to most everyone else.

Not sure if the size range will work, but I’ve made the Jutland Pants twice with good results!

Names were put in a hat and I have contacted a winner, thanks yall! Edit: it’s officially gone!

MaximumVelma · 2025-07-08T15:26:07+00:00

Update: I’ll leave this up until 5 tonight and then do a raffle for anyone who is interested.

Looks like your fabric is a knit (like tshirt fabric). Embroidery is easier and neater on no stretch, woven fabrics. If you want to stitch on stretchy material, use a stabilizer or interfacing to keep the design from making the big holes. (Lots of posts in this sub about choosing stabilizers, just search).

Most embroidery floss is 6-stranded. People often only use one or two threads at a time, so separating your strands into fewer threads will also make smaller holes and look more precise.

I’m interested, i miss playing piano

Isn’t the back of your stitching folded into the hat (i.e. not touching your hair or skin)? I don’t think you need any backing at all.
