Ruffled stitching

Maybe make something where each shirt is in a row - so it can be added to every year? Looks like it's an annual event. Just a thought - not sure how practical of one, but a thought nonetheless. lol

Lessons learned

Had a real moment today - but learned two things.

I guess I just need to practice more - the issue is when I get to the end of what I'm sewing - my stitching kind of drifts off to the side making the end of the seam less than 1/4".

Walking Foot usage
