Default Have you tried Bobbin Work?

I searched for information on this technique just wondering exactly what it was. I do not think that I can explain it properly, but here are two links that I found exremelly helpful.

So, I gave it a try. It really is fun. Plus, a great way to use various threads for embellishing, embroidery and even free motion quilting. Sorry that my photo is really poor quality, but thats what my camera provides. LOL. I only experimented a short time, before tracing a pattern and playing with various threads and my free motion foot. It really is fascinating how this technique and various threads create such different effects. I know I will continue to play around and hopefully use this in future quilts.

I would love to hear what your experiences have been and even see photos of projects! Thanks in advance for any and all comments and photos.
