Yesterday I followed up on how those gifted knitting samples unravel and separate out into 6 strands, with which I hand stitched on Moth Buffet a couple of years ago. At that time I was 100% all in for hand work, and it never occurred to me to try to sew with it by machine, apart from couching, which didn’t interest me particularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the top of the sample are two sets of the stitching with the wool strand feeding from both the top and the bobbin. Of course I had to loosen tension, use a jeans sewing needle, and set the stitch length to the longest on my very basic Bernina, and found it gave a great line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top pair are what the underside looks like, a little wonky. I then turned the fabric over for the next pair to compare the results, and did a little stitching between them as that is a border possibility. Different, better.<\/p>\n\n\n

The pieces of the pewter metallic finish I’m so interested in are shown with several treatments. Also, a bit of distortion occurs when I unthinkingly (a) pull the thread a bit firmly and (b) use the needle on a slant – it needs to enter and leave the fabric as vertically as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
