I have a Bernina Artista so it has the dial you turn. I LOVE it.. I cannot believe you do all your gorgeous work with only the straight stitch-wow! <br />So you have Alison Holt's DVD? It is awesome..Dahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096607024126010121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911861929926288817.post-60552121939710951062012-09-03T20:31:30.155-07:002012-09-03T20:31:30.155-07:00Well thanks very much!

My photos are definitely not professional, and my lighting should be better HOWEVER I wanted to share these steps since I remembered to take photos. What always surprises me is how a piece can look horrible but when you trim it to size, it always looks so much better. :-) <br /> <br />As to thread, I use whatever I can get in a variety of poly-cotton, rayon, cotton-anything that looks good. The reason I use anything is that none of my pieces will be washed. I do not do any hand stitching, so I do not use floss. Do you do embroidered landscapes BJ??Dahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096607024126010121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911861929926288817.post-45851086063007687782012-09-03T18:24:50.752-07:002012-09-03T18:24:50.752-07:00I love how chunky some of those higher colored flo...I love how chunky some of those higher colored flower stalks are. I have her book but I can't do the varied zigzag b/c I have a computerized machine, and to dial wider and have to push a button "beep beep beep"... total disaster. I have an older machine with a dial but the free motion ability is total crap. lol <br /><br />That turned out very pretty. I can't wait to see the truck!<br /><br />Monika in Saskatoonmonika@mysweetprairie.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655544650615742749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911861929926288817.post-78206113145294700382012-09-03T18:00:32.569-07:002012-09-03T18:00:32.569-07:00I so appreciate you showing the steps in making th...I so appreciate you showing the steps in making this.
