Karla...I'm glad you got it squared away. I got rescued from the dreaded "wrinkles" too. Had a piece that did the same thing, asked on the board and voila! It worked!
Can't wait to see the entire piece all done!

using the suede must really give it additional dimension and realism. i don't know if i would have thought of that. is this for you or for selling? did you mention the size?

Okay--this will crack you up.

I placed a dish towel under the horse head. I steamed it and gently pulled the horse up. It worked! I kept steaming and pulling until the whole thing was off! The eye, nostril and mane stayed in place on the head!

Then I covered the wrinkled spot with a damp towel and steamed it smooth. (thank goodness for steam!) Then I turned the wall hanging sideways to get it back into position. After trimming the bottom from being stretched out, I covered it all with a damp towel and pressed it back on. I peeked and was so pleased to see the horse/suede was laying flat! When I went to pick the wall hanging up--I nearly died--the horse was on upside down!! :shock: :| :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:
So--once again, up it came. All I can do is laugh at this point--I should have taken a picture. Not too attractive, but maybe it would have won a prize for modern art--title: dizzy horse. :lol: I had to steam the spot again--with yet another dish towel--so I wouldn't get anything stuck to it. Parts didn't stick, so I got some extra pieces of the wonder under without the paper and tucked it under the muzzle, ears, and sides and pressed again. And... drum roll... it's fine. I cannot believe it. It looked pretty bumpy when I first took it off.... I wa sure I'd have to make another. I'm going to go look at it again to make sure nothing has happened.

Group hug of appreciation! You gals always rescue me!!! :-D
That is so funny, I would be laughing to. Penny

The directions said to use the suede--I never would have thought of that. Or fringe. I'll admit I can pick colors for stuff--but there's no creativity here on my part--I just followed the directions. Well, :oops: if I didn't, it was an error. :oops:

Size? I'll have to measure. It's, um, wider than it's supposed to be due to creative corrections. :roll: It's a wall hanging--40 some by 30 some.
