Holy flying needles Batman! That is absolutely beautiful.

I'm green with envy of your patience!

Please. Are you joking when you say you may have to start again? If so I can't find the word to show just how much I admire your determination.

But pleae don't give in yet. Surely there must be some way to remedy this situation. Would a professional framer know of a solution?

What a gorgeous finish... so sorry the creases havent come out, but I wouldnt start again

Wouldnt they come out in time by themselves? if you ironed it a little bit more each time.... or maybe wash it again?

Oh Kryss, what a terrible shame -- it's such a beautiful and completely original project!

Some of the advice may be worth trying out though, like the stretching-and-steaming. After all, if you're thinking of giving up on it (please don't

), you may as well try this last resort before definitely calling it a write-off. Hope steam will do the trick!

Such a wonderful work of art!

It's finished, completely and 100%!

It's hard to say because it's a circle, but my husband calculated that there are about 165,000 stitches in this. When you put it that way, it sounds completely mad.

I have to thank everyone on this forum who has given me their invaluable advice, particularly sadpingu who solved my creasing issue. I don't think I could have come out with such a good result without you guys.

This is going to be entered into the Sydney Royal Easter Show so if you're in Sydney and going to the show, go and see it in the Arts and Crafts Pavillion.

Just stunning! So glad you got all the creases out and can get it into the show. Sorry I"m not in Sydney to catch it in person but I'm sure there will be lots of amazed admirers. Thanks so much for sharing your pics with us here - what a treat!
