I did manage to applique all of the blocks yesterday--
I use a small (2.0mm) zig zag with invisible thread
to secure all of the raw edges.
It takes a L O N G time to stitch all of the edges and a lot of pivoting to accomplish this! I am very grateful for the needle down position setting and the auto-foot to raise feature each time,
so there isn't a ton of manual lifting of the presser foot
for every pivot required!!!!
The 'wrought iron gate' and the 'vine' were stitched with a satin stitch. The large plant on the right is a bonus block and I don't know where it is to be placed so it is on hold!
Since this is a sew-along, I have completed section 1 and will wait for the next blocks to be released!
That's a lot of work but it looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! I really need to do some more applique!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLovely job on the applique. I'm facing pivot overload on a couple of WIPs - that I've been procrastinating about finishing.
