And the two outer borders are ditch stitched, but then I came to a screeching halt. I realized that even though I wanted to do ribbon candy quilting in that inner border, I had never, as in NEVER, done ribbon candy. Time to practice. I have found that lined notebook paper is the perfect thing to prqactice with since I don't have to drawn the line.
What are you working on? It's a Linky Tuesday post!
It amazes me that people trash perfectly good fabric because they don't think they can use the scraps.
ReplyDeleteSurprise, today I'm working with. . .scraps.
LOL - yes, practice helps doesn't it? Your practice looks good, but it also looks complex - I admire your courage to use this one!
ReplyDeleteYou can also put an old needle in your sewing machine, place a piece of paper under the needle with your drawn design (no thread) and practice moving the needle in the right direction. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, when I read your thumbnail title, I thought something bad had happened. I'm glad to see it's just a pause to build your repertoire. I like your heart design, and if you can do that ribbon candy will be a breeze. Have fun practicing!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful and I have done the same thing.....have an idea and.....have to practice first!
