Affairs of the Heart Cyber-Sew 2011
#1321
That bobbinwork really has me hooked, but I am sort of spastic when doing FMQ/bobbinwork. I normally don't have much of a problem with true FMQ, but with the bobbinwork, I'm trying to follow the lines. It's almost like driving & watching the road right in front of the car, not up ahead. When you do that, you get all jerky with the wheel. I'm all jerky with the block & it really shows up since there is so much contrast.

Sew, I use a Janome 6600, so your 6500 would be just fine. Just about any machine will work for this, except a Featherweight or any other straight-stitch only machine. Needle turn is by hand. I am the only one, so far, who is doing machine applique & machine embroidery. Mine is bobbinwork for the embroidery. I have a tutorial for my method of machine applique. Go to the bottom of any page & click on Topic Lists. Affairs of the Heart is at the top. Click on it & you will see a tutorial for Open Satin Stitch applique.
