Author comment: "I have just finished this lion, but had to reduce it so much, but it still turned out very good. If anybody is thinking of making it so much smaller, always reduce it by 20%, safe it and then reduce it again, but remember to safe it after each reduction. The original was 19.09" x 11'69" and I brought it down to 11.50" x 7.25". Also remember to use the thinnest bobbin thread, because it gets very thick at the bottom and also make the hight of your foot 2mm instead of the 1.5mm it is set at. Don't forget to put it back to 1.5 when you are finished"
