Question about fold'n stitch wreath
I am slowly working my way thru the pattern and have come to the point where you fuse the 5 inch square over the X opening and zig zag around. I have never done a satin type stitch and am afraid it will be uneven and obvious.
Those of you who have made the wreaths-did you use the setting suggested in the pattern and did you have any trouble going thru the thickness of the material? In all of your pictures, I never saw Zig-zag showing so did you use thread to match the 5 inch square or the fabric with the X cut. Thank you for your help. |
Try making up a sample and see how your machine handles the thickness. If you have the original pattern, the video that is slightly different might not help you.

For your practice piece just use some scrap batting or a layer of scrap fabric, no reason to use up whatever that Bosal is.

/ have an older Kenmore and it went through all thicknesses just fine. Use a larger needle(I used a jean needle 90/14), not satin stitching. One I used the recommended stitches and one I used a decorative stitch.

was concerned about the machine settings to get the right "look". |
Bosal is the suggested stabilizer. I've seen it online for 18"x58" piece at $9.99. One of the things I'm going to do is call my local quilt shop and see if they have it and for how much.

I did not use a decorative or zig zag. I simply used a straight stitch. It worked fine. Just go slow with a fresh needle. It's amazing how easily it will stitch thru it.
