Embroidery,

I decided to sew out some of my emb designs that I have had for a while,, now there are not samples,, these are good designs I purchased from a lovely lady, Kas from Designs in Stitches,, here

Funny how different threads work differently,, the yellow on the lower left is Wal-Mart variegated rayon thread, the white ones are Marathon rayon, the pink is Sulky rayon, and the dark pink top right is Isacord poly,,,,so maybe poly is the best???? hhmmmm...

The Isacord flower is the only one that is soft and pliable. I am going to make some more and see you they turnout...

Update, and embroidery designs finished,,

In this post here I wrote about my Dbrother, well on Feb 6th, he passed away, he fought a hard battle. He once told me Dmother that he beat Pneumonia and a pinched Sciatic nerve,, but he wasn't going to beat Cancer. RIP Michael,

This is the results of the embroidery designs,, I like the red and white, and pink the best,,




here is what is next on my list to do,,,

Sewing out samples.

After ranting about my embroidery designs, I decided to do something about it.

I am sewing out samples,, I am going throught my coasters and doilies folder first,, these are all FSL (free standing lace) and still have the WSS (water soluble stablilizer ) in them.. I will get them rinsed out tomorrow and hopefully more done, and post more pix,, this will let me know what designs I want to keep and what to delete,

The green design is ok so far, it had a few base threads showing around the satin stitching but not bad, the marroon and pink,, uh no,, I really liked the marroon one, it is a really pretty design,, but the closer you get to the center,, the more dense the stitches are,, and it is starting to get to be a mess, the pink one,, my machine just wouldn't sew it without the thread breaking too many times,, and I used two different threads,,,

The purple, red and white, and dark pink look ok so far,, tomorrow will tell though,,

Knit binding

I have been wanting to learn how to use my binder on my coverstitch machine, ever since I got it,,(too long ago),, well I finally am learning,,,,this is a shirt I am making,, now there is a little pucker on the upper right corner, but maybe a trip through the washer an dryer will fix that,, but I am making progress anyway,, yahooo,,,,,,,,,
