Quite often I’ll be working on an embroidery design, and I can feel that its just not working right. Something isn’t right. Sometimes I KNOW where the problem is, and sometimes its hard to know what’s the problem.<\/p>\n

Often I try to ignore it and hope that with the finished product it will all just magically come together and be fine. But in my heart of hearts I know that’s just not going to be the case.<\/p>\n

\"Coloured<\/a>When I was working my embroidery Coloured Contours<\/a> not so long ago, I got to a stage where some diamond stitch that I had put in it was really bothering me. (Its where the curl of double chain stitch now reaches up from the middle bottom.) <\/p>\n

I wanted to just leave it and get on with other bits and it would hopefully grow on me. But it didn’t. And so, I carefully cut and pulled it all out, and reworked it with a totally different stitch – the double chain stitch. Immediately I was so much happier with it. It wasn’t jarring anymore.<\/p>\n

I’ve been working on a project over the last day or two which just isn’t right. I’ve been hoping that the problem would just go away, but as you know, problems just don’t tend to do that! I know therefore that I am going to have to pull out the problematic area – and I know EXACTLY which bit it is – and figure out a better way of doing it.<\/p>\n

How do you get around bits that aren’t working? Do you leave it and let it lead you in a new direction, do you undo it, or do you leave it and forever regret not fixing it? Or is there another option that I haven’t thought of?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
