Binding and more -

 

 

Just to get them off my "to do" list - 

 

I made a few labels for some of my recent "finishes" - 

 

And then made the binding for the two Woof & Whiskers quilts - 

 

All 400 miles of it - LOL -

 

 

Then I installed the Micro Stippling Foot on the longarm - 

 

And thought I would show you the difference - 

 

Between trying to follow the outline of a petal on the WHITE/BEIGE flower - 

 

With the Ruler Foot - 

 

And with the Micro Stippling Foot - 

 

Of course the Open Toe Foot would be another option - 

 

But you can see how much easier it would be with the Micro Stippling Foot - 

 

So - to test it out - 

 

I wanted to see if I could "follow the line" - 

Between the WHITE border and the BLUE- 

 

Without a ruler - on the small BLUE square - 

 

 

I used GRAY thread so I could see the stitches - 

 

And I shortened my stitch to 14 per inch - 

 

 

My stitches could be straighter - 

 

But - all in all - I think it worked out nicely- 

 

I think I'll leave the GRAY thread in to stitch the two little squares - 

 

To see how it goes - and to see the stitches -

 

Then I'll try some other threads - colors/types - 

 

When I get to the WHITE/BEIGE flower -

 

That one should be fun - 

 

I can use all sorts of neutrals to blend and/or contrast -

 

Maybe even try some variegated neutrals -

 

And the "chores" can wait until Monday - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
