My fiance has asked multiple times why I am torturing myself so soon with a DWR, because IceBlossom is right, they offer up a whole new set of challenges to overcome but that's exactly the reason why I chose it. I've pretty much got the 'Y' seams down for a machine pieced Grandmother's Flower Garden, it was logical, at least to me, to start working on a DWR.
Up until now, I've been quite terrified of arcs and circles, but the more I work it, the more confident I'm becoming, I don't want to be limited to straight seams. My curved seams leave a lot to be desired, but they're starting to smooth out, now I just have to nail down the scant quarter.
As for thread, in case others ask, I'm using Aurifil, 50wt and a Microtex needle, 80/12.
My lighting does need a lot of work, someone took the light assembly from my machine before I got it, so I'm using an LED light bar that started out nice and bright, but has now turned yellow on me for some reason, that's the second one, too.
You ladies are giving me some awesome ideas, thank you and keep them coming, please!
