I bought it for the free designs but almost didn't pick it up to look through at first because of the cover. They need to re-think who does the cover! ------ Brother ULT 2002D, Janome 6500P, Babylock Eclipse SX, Juki MO654DE, Janome Coverpro 1000CPX, Singer 15-91

They could have pressed it at the very least. I am such a perfectionist that I cringe when I see projects in magazines so poorly constructed. Maybe it was really R/W in disguise? Love the fabric and the embroidery, though. ------ Total fabric on hand: 1/1/13 1683.731 yds Sewn in 2012: 176.212 yds 2013 Goal: 400 yds (again) Jan -- 38.0 (11 items) Feb -- 6.5 (5) March -- (8.5) (2) April -- 17.66(18) May -- () June -- () July -- () August -- () September -- () October November December Total yards sewn to date -- 53.0 yards

This is the Eileen Roche magazine. PS I just pulled out the latest issue of Creative...hmmm now that I look at it...that triangle collar thing is pretty awful isn't it? That pillow on pg. 34 is lovely though isn't it? -- Edited on 1/8/12 0:58 AM -- ------ "The problem is not that there are problems.

Anyways, this is the ugly thing poncho -- Edited on 1/8/12 0:54 AM -- -- Edited on 1/8/12 0:59 AM -- ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

I kept looking at it...and even the white stitching on the button placket is terrible...not straight. And it just frumpy and droopy...looks like an iron never got there. ------ "The problem is not that there are problems.

The cover is even worse...Mrs. Moos is right!!! The embroidery is nice but the poncho itself is so poorly sewn...sheeesh! Now I know why it takes me 40 hrs to do something that should take 2! ------ "The problem is not that there are problems.
