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.

I didn't want to use up my Bosal to try a sample piece as I wouldn't have enough for a second wreath but I think that's what I may have to do. Thanks for the suggestion.

/ 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.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't thought about using a decorative stitch...I'm more comfortable with that idea!

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.

Thanks Toverly, that approach is definitely in my comfort zone. I'm one of those people who follow directions to the letter and then get stuck when it isn't something I am comfortable with. Have to learn to think outside the box!
