However, I must, must, MUST learn to pull up my bobbin thread (especially when my top thread breaks and I have to restart) when stippling, because THIS happened more than once:
Guess what else I did for, like, the first time? Sewed through my finger. Yup, I was wondering when that was going to happen. Sounds like it is most commonly done while free motioning. I can see why! Wow. Multiple things happening at once! Guess I need a bit more practice?
fabulous job on the stippling---hope your finger is okay!
ReplyDeleteThanks! My finger is fine, the needle went clean through one side, just a millimetres away from my fingernail. I had looked away for a second to talk to my little boy. Oops.
ReplyDeleteThe stippling looks really good! I haven't actually sewn through my finger yet, but I have snipped them with my scissors. My daughter cut off the tip of her finger with my rotary cutter once. Who know sewing could be so dangerous? :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Alisa. I know, and then there are the pins and needles everywhere. My hubby once pulled a quilt snug around himself and got poked by a stray needle that somehow got buried!! And rotary cutters are very dangerous!!
ReplyDeleteGreat color/fabric choices on your zigzag quilt!
ReplyDeleteI think I will attempt one!
