An Eagle:
Yesterday I decided to try some appliquè. Just very simple.
I took some blue fabric and then some white on top. I stabilized the blue with tear away stabilizer. I basted the white at the corners floating on the frame. I didn't use any glue. I don't have any yet and to be honest I am scared of getting my frames and machine sticky. I keep seeing FB posts asking how to remove the glue!
I chose a simple circle design on my machine and stitched it out.
Then I took the frame off the machine and carefully cut the excess white fabric from the outside of the stitching. I replaced the frame and then did another programmed circle with a satin stitch in the exact same place.
Then I added a simple E in the center. All without altering the position of the hoop design.
It was quite fun and simple enough for me to not worry about spoiling a project.
I have no idea what if anything I will use it for but another practice piece is done. Lol!
It is lovely to be trying out "new to me" things. Even cross stitch!
Bye for now! Happy sewing.
