Machine stitching
First started practicing whip stitch, this stitch has got interesting textural qualities, but I found it hard to control. To get a “cording” type effect I had to go down to my smallest stitch length of 0,5 mm. Free motion it was most interesting in a circular movement, which created a flowery type effect.
Next to the whip stitch I did some free motion work and even though I’ve got a fab-u-motion with my machine I decided that would be cheating…
I discovered I’ve got serious wobbly hands….and there was me thinking I was such a stable person.
Anyway things got better after a while and I guess free motion work just takes lots of practice. I will do some more work with the regulator installed, I haven’t had much chance to practice with it yet and the moving table will definitely make for a smoother movement.
