Started these a few years back and looked at where they got to, before I stopped working on them.
Will carry on with them and finish them to create the decorative pincushions.
Played with the quarter inch stitch on the new machine, it sews a scant quarter inch seam.
Next it was trying out the embroidery part of the machine, put an embroidery needle in the machine and soon realized it was the wrong size, the packet had mixed sizes of embroidery needles in it!
Once this was corrected, the design was stitch out again, this is a velvet flower.
It is a very dense flower, the blue is stitched first, then the yellow on top of the blue.
The yellow top thread gets sliced to reveal the blue under the yellow, creating the velvet effect.
This is the first time trying a velvet flower, it is super soft. Baby steps learning this machine, steep learning curve with some interesting experiences so far...
Those pin cushions look really cute.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy learning the new machine.
The new machine is an adventure in learning now. First stitching and testing what is on the machine, so I know what it can do. Then once that is done, will move on to more adventures projects.
