snippertyI started the project about 10 years ago and didn't expect it
to take
quite so long but I'm doing the shiny parts of the motorcycle in DMC
Rayon (didn't help that it was discontinued) and I have to use short
lengths to keep it workable.

Any assistance will be appreciated - even an address for Ross
Originals if anyone has one.

Sorry I can't help with the chart, but I might be able to help with the
DMC Rayon. Let me know the numbers.
Good luck with your quest.

Thanks for the offer. Since I don't really like the way the dog
turned out and I won't have the original chart on which I had penciled
in where the policeman would go, I'm considering starting the whole
thing over and NOT using rayon. I don't like the dog because, when I
enlarged the stitching to make it fit with the Harley & the cop, I
needed to use four stitches on the fabric for every one stitch on the
chart. What I forgot to do was to add quarter and half stitches to
make it less boxy. I'm trying to decide now whether the dog and the
rayon are going to bother me enough to take the enjoyment out of the
project. I think I'm talking myself into starting over. Or, I could
just stitch OVER the dog, in colors that match, rounding out the
boxiness of it. If I find a way to do that, I may just take the rayon
parts of the motorcycle out. I still love the tire in flower thread.
That turned out great! I would still like to do the really shiny
metalic parts in metalic threads, like doing the spokes in some kind
of silvery color but I've not yet made up my mind. I would like to
get it done while I'm still unemployed so that I have the time to
actually work in it in long stretches instead of bits and pieces of
time. :-)

Gosh...... I hope your head doesn't explode !!
My email addy is valid if you change your mind.
