I am going to use this method and am wondering if you use the regular stitch setting or do you elongate the stitches.
Looks more like hand quilting with longer stitches. :( |
I've seen various stitch lengths.. Shorter, regular, and longer than usual.
Practice on a scrap to see how your machine behaves. |
I lenthen my stitches a bit, but that is my personal preference. It seems like the shorter the stitch, the more puckering you may have, especially after washing :D:D:D
|
Do a test patch on scrap (backing, batting and top)
I used the default setting on my machine - never gave it a thought. I think it was 2.5. |

Thanks to all. have done samples just wanted to know what others do most :lol:
|
I lengthen my stitches a bit as well. Seems less scrunchy or puckery to me. Also flows a little easier through the machine when I come to busy seams.
|
I lengthen it to 3.0. That's what I find looks and feels the best.
|
I use longer stitches.
