Yesterday, I rectified that problem. My sister's brother-in-law and his wife are expecting and due in November, so I decided to make them some booties and bibs. I made four pairs of 3seam booties yesterday (very easy) and the beginnings of four bibs - the bibs being the exciting part.
(My box o'booties)
I played around with doing multiple images on one bib in these
I'm not sure I used the right kind of stabilizer. I was planning to use a lightweight interfacing to leave in permanently since it's on a very lightweight broadcloth, but only had medium so gave that a try. There are some wrinkles, but I'm not sure if it's because I had such a hard time getting the fabric taught in the hoop, the stabilizer, or something else completely. Thoughts?
How cute!
ReplyDeleteI really like the dog bib.
Did you use embroidery thread or regular thread?
You may want to try a heavier stabilizer and see if it makes a difference.
You may want to check with your sewing machine shop and see if they can give you any tips.
The puckering isn't very noticable on these pictures.
Didn't I give you a 2 or 3" wide roll of heavy stabilizer? I will take a look and see if I see it around here somewhere.
Grandfather will be thrilled to know that you are enjoying the machine.
