I have been playing with the inbuilt decorative stitches of my machine. Since I have an embroidery machine (1992) I have used those very infrequently.
First I made the two denim swatches, using resp. 2 and 3 different stitches to get an overall design.
Then I mad the A5 notebook cover incorporating bias tape.
Lastly I wanted to make a flower design. So I programmed two different stitches (a 'tulip' and a leaf stitch) to one sequence, draw 3 chalk lines and made the small bouquet. The middle is just the leaves without the tulip and I added a daisy from a narrow flower lace, for no other reason than there being a small hole in my scrap. Less sophisticated than a machine embroidered flower, but a lot of fun.
I intend to use an all-over design to make the yoke of a child's dress. And the small sample I'll turn into coin purses.
It all looks well and evenly spaced.
For the spacing I used the width of the foot - and draw a line along a ruler to start straight.
