I am trying my hand for the 1st time at applique. I need to know if im doing anything wrong, I am in a swap and want it to be right. Thanks

ok will add more of not so close maybe they wont be blurry
|
i think the stitches are fine, looks like good work to me
|
It looks fine to me. If you wanted, you could use monofilament to make the applique stitches even more transparent.
I like Sunbonnet Sue, anyway. Cute pattern, and you are doing good. |
It is looking good :D:D:D
The only thing I see is to shorten your stitch length...that will help hold it down more securely. I like to have my length set for 1.8 - 2.0 You can also try to take a few stitches, and turn very often. I drop my needle down first. You will get more rounded stitching on your edges that way :wink: That is a cute Sue!!! I hope that I get one of yours in the swap!!! :D:D:D |
ok so to shorten the stitch, mine is set to 1.5 ^^^ and 1.8 --- would I go up to 1.8 and 2.0
|
The baby is so cute looks so cuddly and sweet. Your block looks really nice too.
|
Sorry those were the settings for the blanket stitch that I am working with right now...
Your width looks fine, but I would set your stitch length to half of what you have so your zigs going over are closer together. so they are like this ^ ^ ^ ^ instead of ^---^----^----^ that is what will keep the sides from fraying out :wink: |
ok thanks so I need to lower the number? I will play with it.
That lil girl is my grand daughter she will be one to get this quilt when its done. |
Good advice. I learned something, too! Going to try it out on my machine.
Lovely Quilt! |
