I am working on a quilt called BOM Basket of Flowers by Marian Shenk. Some of the flowers have fabric fringe. I have never had success with making fringe out of fabric and I know there are embroidery designs with fringe, but I don't have an embroidery machine. I thought why not make my own. The embroidery machine and only zigzag so wide and my machine can do that! So I thought I would put up a tutorial and this is my first time so---be nice to me!! LOL I know you will!
First draw a circle where you what the fringe to be [ATTACH=CONFIG]109159[/ATTACH] Set your machine to the widest zigzag and close together--satin stitch. The needle should hit the circle on the inside. [ATTACH=CONFIG]109167[/ATTACH] Sorry for the blur. But it should look something like this. [ATTACH=CONFIG]109243[/ATTACH] |

Continuing.
This one is better. I went around twice. Now sew the inside of the ZZ with a smaller ZZ stitch to hold it inplace. You will remove the bobbin stitching but it has to be secured. Go around twice, at least with your small ZZ stitch. [ATTACH=CONFIG]109244[/ATTACH] Sew on the center of the flower [ATTACH=CONFIG]109245[/ATTACH] Now the center of the flower is secure [ATTACH=CONFIG]109249[/ATTACH] |
