    Default Hot Off the Press Halloween Panels

    Just completed these three Halloween panels and having fun with freehand on my longarm. I still have to hand sew the binding and trim threads but wanted to share them right away. Also been trying many new types of threads as well and on these used sulky embroidery thread on the top and cotton in the bobbin thread. Really like the shine these threads have and how they blend with the panels. Still having some problems with the tension of the bobbin thread showing a bit in areas. It doesn't seem to matter if I go fast or slow or curves or straight lines it just shows when it wants too.........Anyone know how to fix this?????

    Really cute panels. As for the tension, I have that same problem sometimes.

    I can't see it in the pics, but I think if you lessen your top tension just a hair, it will solve that problem. Darling panels.

    Was going to say the same about the top tension. Sometimes a different needle will help too. Like these. Panels are very colorful. Very nice work.
