Practice

IMG_0392I’ve had a difficult time getting going on a new project, but a couple of days ago I ran across a kit for a very small dresser scarf; I’d hidden it away a few years ago for future use. I decided that the mindless piecing involved would be a good way to get myself going again, as it’s all easy half-square triangles. 🙂 This was the first time I’d tried doing the stabilizing stitching in all of the “ditches” with the built-in even feed on my Bernina 780, rather than with a walking foot, and I’m absolutely delighted with the results! The stitching was easier and faster, and visibility was excellent. 🙂

Now I’m practicing some straight lines done free-motion with a ruler and ruler foot. Half of the triangles will have these lines, and the other half will have a curved motif for some variety. The colors are soft, and I think it will make a good gift. 🙂
