Thank you for the suggestions. I am trying to hide the problem by not having
it run right down the middle of the project. Enough colors are used so I am
trying to stitch till a color changes then stitch 2 spaces into one. It
worked a few rows but its really a large problem. I hate making mistakes
like this. I check every stitch with a magnifier now.
This is why it takes me years to finish a project. Ripping out over 50 rows
and 1000 stitches isn't something I want to do. I cant believe its n the
first row. That sucks.
Thanks
Donna
