experiment with pearl cotton machine
 

i wanted thicker thread to make a vine so i filled a bobbin with pearl cotton 8 not quite full and used it in the top
lowered tension used a metalic needle and sewed very slow as you can see worked great!

nice! Our guild had a class on using all kinds of threads in the sewing machine. I didn't get to attend but it's neat to think about, since I never do think about using different things. Love love love your sheep!

How clever of you - looks terrific

yes, it does look great. thanks for sharing the tip.

Looks great, you are creative.

very nice technique

For some reason, the picture doesn't come up for me. I would love to see it.

What a great idea.

That looks nice. I like it.

Love it. Looks great.

Very clever. It looks great.

I have some thread I bought back in January for this purpose, well to embellish something, but I haven't gotten brave enough to try. That bobbin area looks really delicate. How do I know how tight to wind the thread?

BTW, your sheep and flowers are darling. I love the look!

Looks wonderful! Really stands out!
