Another ruler -

After changing back to blue thread -

I used the Crosshair Ruler to mark some reference lines -

Put the guide pin in place - at the center - underneath - with the pin pointing up -

Put the ruler in place - on the pin - lined it up -

And stitched the eight petals - all rotating around on the pin and lined up with the guidelines -

Compared it to the photo in my book - and -

Oops - that ain't right - LOL - ;))

Turns out I used THIS ruler - the Spin-E-Flex No. 4 3-1/2" -

When I should have used THIS one - the Spinning Wheel 36 -

They look alike except that the pin "hole" is at the pointy end of the one I used - and at the flat end of this one -

BIG difference in how the petals stitch out - LOL - ;))

But I thought I could salvage it by stitching a circle in the middle -
Using the Simple Circle 2" -

Looks like the circle is too big -

But turns out it's just the right size -
If I was a little more accurate in my stitching -

Because I forgot about the 1/4" distance from the inner edge of the ruler to the needle - putting the stitching line right where it should be -

So - maybe tomorrow - I'll try to do the design in the picture -

Using the OTHER ruler - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
