Exclamation Help with Faux embossing

I want to show my club the faux embossing that was shown in the January 2006 Stampin' Success, but for the life of me I can't get the white wheeled image anywhere close to the original wheeled image even though I think I'm lining up the seam of the wheel to the paper edge. Anyone got any hints or tricks to make this work. If I can't demo it, my club members probably won't get it either...
Thanks, Ann

Lightbulb I think I've figured something out...

OK I've kept playing and hoping at the same time that one of you brilliantly creative minds out there would have the answer already.

Here's what is working for me. I am lining the seam up with the edge of the SA handle, both times. And I am not starting at the edge of the cardstock but off it and on my scratch paper. So when I am about to wheel the white over the first colour, I set the wheel down overtop of the wheeled image, lift it up and check to see if I like the placement, make any slight adjustments to the wheel, and then wheel across my scardstock.

It seems to be working for me, so I hope it helps someone else struggling with this technique. It looks so cool when it's done right!
