Using the lace coaster and butterfly

mickncrispy

Hi all just wanted to run something by you all.  I have started 
making a tablecloth with a circle of applique roses in the middle.  
Was on the last one and carelessly got some excess fabric caught up 
underneath the hoop and got it caught in the embroidered part of the 
leaves..UUUUGHH!!  So I had to cut the fabric off the hoop and left 
four or five holes about the size of my thumbnail in the fabric :-( 
I thought about placing the lace coaster design in the centre of the 
roses to introduce some lace into the design then "patching" the 
holes around the outside of the design with the lace butterfly 
design (this would be kind of randomly placed because of the 
position of the holes) Maybe using some tulle or something 
underneath.  Do you think that would work??? Hope this makes sense.  
Any other suggestions??

How about embroidering the designs on Organza, cutting them out, appliqueing
them on top of the cloth over the holes, and then cutting away the fabric
underneath?  Then they will seem as tho you MEANT to put them there! (and
just more applique of a different kind!)

I don't know never tried it but the image that comes to mind when you
explain it would convince me to try it... I had a really good image in my
head so it can't go bad

tell us what happens

Granny, 
thankyou that's a great idea, don't know why I didn't think of that 
myself!!!  I knew someone here would have a great idea.  I'll be 
sure and let you know how I get on.
