[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Sorry for sending this to the group, but I could not get it to go to
Sharon, directly.  I could not even get my address book to work this
morning.
Computers have a mind of their own.

Hi sharon;

After convention, I would like to put together a sample of different
stitches I use.  Also I want to send you a pre cut cubic cleanex box.
This way, you can find out the problem that your friend must have made.
There should be 5 sides.  The top and 4 actual sides to go over the box.
There should not have been any jaggid edges.  The only idea I can come
up with is that maybe she did not cut close enough to the bar and left
ruff edges.  
I forgot, can you see at all.  If you have some sight, I can use
distinct colors to show you a few different methods.  I can also send an
e-mail descriptive of each item.  I think this will help you a lot.
With this at your finger tips, then you can ask questions and have a lot
more methods to experiment with.
Can I have your address, again.  I might have it some whare, but do not
remember where.  I am busy and do not have the time to go hunting.
Hope these ideas will help.
Let me know what you think.

Terry

Hey Terry,

Thank you for your input.  I'm not sure what you mean by the "diaginal" 
stitch.  Do you mean "diagonal"?  I'm not sure if I quite understand
your description of coming from the lower left and ending at the upper
right. 
This stitch I'm referring to is straight up and down., in the same
column, say for example, up 1-1 and down 2-1.

As for the jagged edge, it looks decorative to me, so, as long as it
doesn't snag the tissue, I'd keep it.  I put those straight little
stitches in each pair of squares in the edging.  They look fanned out in
this way.  I also did overcast stitching around those points too.

this project has actually turned into a challenge, not just because of
the jagged edging, but also the different size and shapes of two of the
other pieces.  I think she may have gotten confused, or I ruined them
because I tried to modify them into those that make more sense to me.
If you'd like a more detailed description, I can fill you in on it
later.  I'm going to use some of my fresh pieces to cut for those two.
It won't exactly be cubed like I thought it would be, and there are five
pieces, not six, so I decided it will be like a body-length hat that you
slip over the end of the tissue box, and the box will stand up on end,
with the opening for the tissue facing toward you instead of facing up
like a lid.

As for samples, you're welcome to send anything you'd like to share with
me. 
But I do have the pattern for the diagonal stripe cover.  You may write
me off-list.

thanks again!

Sharon
