After stitching down 3 of the rosettes on my EPP project Friday night i knew i was never going to be happy with the result (see previous post for photo). Hmm what to do. Reverse sewing again & have a think about how to fix it or a way to use up the rosettes in a different project.
Here is my solution.
I made the centre hexagon with real papers & stitched the little cross from the stitched designs in the rosettes. I was lucky i had some scraps left over to use in the flower. The kit came with iron on hexagons & after the 1st time using them i said never again. Well i thought i'll give them one more try & that i think is where the problem lies that i had. Not able to get nice crisp edges all round & the last fold the edge can't be seen or felt. So the hexagons may have been a little out in size. I think i'll make another one using cardboard & see if they work better to make the star shape of the original pattern.

I think it looks great with the little centre hexie Jeanette. I have never used iron on hexagons before but I think you may be right ... sounds like they may be out in size a fraction which would throw everything out for you.
I love hexies even though I have never made them. It's a process I need to learn. Your project is looking very nice.
great readjustment... that looks pretty....
