Saw an interesting technique
I was at a viking/baby lock dealer yesterday, getting my serger which was in for repair. I was looking at some of the projects made with their different machines. I saw one that was appliqued, and it looked like they had used a wing needle and the hemstitching function to do machine applique. I should have asked, but didn't. I think I will go back today and ask how they did it. I thought this was an interesting look. I wondered if anyone has heard of this technique.

No, but I'm interested to hear more as I bought a wing needle about 10 years ago and only used it in the class doing some kind of vintage look.
|
I would love to see a pic of that
|
I had to look up what a wing needle was! I too would like to see what the stitching looks like.

Sounds like it would have the old hem - stitch look that used to be put around linen doileys to make crocheting edges more easily. I think the little holes would have a decorative effect if this is the case.

I used to make French hand sewn garments for my granddaughters. You use the wing needle to make it look like you have entredeaux.
|
I just learn something new everyday from you folks...those look pretty neat! Gonna' have to get one!
|
I can't wait to hear the answer to this one because I have a wing needle also and have never used it. Don't even know why I bought it but must have had some project in mind that is now forgotten.
|
I just looked it up also, it's a great looking stitch.
Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it. |
