Peacock

I used Zundt's peacock design from the Signature, Lafayette
collection. I had to rescale it by 1% less because it was
too wide for the hoop. I chose to "rescale" instead of resize
because the resize added 800 stitches and I felt it changed
the character of the design too much.
I also edited the head of the peacock out of the rest of the
design so I could use it at the top of the buttonholes to give
an added interest to the blouse.
I used Sulky metallic and it sewed like a dream on the
Designer SE. I used badgemaster on the buttonholes and wished I had used it on the big design too. I used the no show mesh there. I cut as much of it away as possible so the fabric
would still drape.
