Free motion practice for today:
This worship banner is a team project, and I was in charge of stitching down the tree and roots. At first I was thinking of using a little zig zag but quickly realized that all those roots would require lots of turning a very large piece of fabric. So, free motion it was.
After lots of time and almost a full bobbin later, I've had lots and lots of practice in outlining the roots and tree and pears. I used a tear-away stabilizer on the roots, but the tree had less stitching and the backing was pretty firm, so I skipped it there. Thread was Sulky 40-wt rayon and a pre-wound bobbin.
The really nice thing about a team project is that tomorrow I'm handing it off. :)
