BLUE section was filled with leaves -
And a variety of background "fill" patterns -
Then I played with a "feather" in a GREEN section -
And didn't quite get the "angle" that I was wanted -
But I have more practice areas -
And a LOT more things to try -
So I'm not being too hard on myself -
Hopefully - I will improve as I go along - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
It will get better as you learn what speed and how to move with the needle. I was taught "Slow hands, fast feet" when I started on a domestic machine. Most people move the fabric too fast and reach too far in the motifs.
ReplyDeleteTry doodling on paper or a board. If you do this every day you’ll build up muscle memory and get better.
ReplyDeleteDraw it a bunch of times then go sew it. No breaks in between. Rinse and repeat - a LOT of times.....eventually it starts looking good even to you. (or that was my experience.)
ReplyDeleteI’m loving that I see lots of other things in your quilting lines. For instance, there is a critter in there with LOTS of feet. Lol! Have fun taking a break from quilt top sewing. We all need breaks.
ReplyDeleteLiggtly tracing over a piece of sandpaper helps build muscle memory, too.
