Accidentally I appliquéd a CKC spaniel onto a background that was too light in color and too thin, using a satin stitch. Didn't want to take out all of the stitching, so carefully cut around the stitching and re-attached to a proper dark color background. The accidental aspect was that it appeared to be the dog's fur and the recipient loved it so he took it to the CKC club to show it.
