Seriously, would you consider making me one? What would you charge? It's just gorgeous.

I'm so sorry you had this happen to you. It really is a beautiful design and when you can either fix it or make another, it's going to be a treasure for your mom. In the meantime, I bet she'll love the purse.

You might be able to find some peacock print fabric and do a lining ???

Don't feel bad, I have done that before too. It isn't fun and I wanted to cry also!

I use glad press & Seal now so I don't do that again.

BTW, it is BEAUTIFUL!! Maybe you can add some cording around the design to hide the stabilizer??

Where did you get that design?

You might consider making a pillow out of it. I sure wouldn't want to just toss it in the trash.

Try soaking it in water softener. A product that I bought said to do that. It was a stickly water soluable stablizer.

I just feel so bad for you. The design is gorgeous; I wish I had some advice for you but I don't. The only thing that is good is that you shared with all of us and now maybe you saved one of us from doing the same thing. I just finished a Boy Scout quilt for my grandson; thought I had used tear away stabilizer where I embroidered his name; went to tear away and it doesnt' want to budge. I have no idea what I put there but thank God, it is inside and I could cut most of it away. See, we all do these things. Take a breath and forgive yourself.
